Soggy Sunday

Leave a comment

A soggy Sunday doesn’t keep me from thinking about blue skies. Hopefully a peek at some later this afternoon. Till then plenty to keep me busy inside. Like my granddaughter this morning. And a line of chores this afternoon.

I find I get a lot done if I just keep busy doing little things. I’m not breaking things into small tasks, just knocking out pieces of a puzzle that gets completed easier if its not a all at once issue. If I find I’m losing momentum on one things I’ll change it up.

Having my holiday lights up the first weekend in December feels good. I’ll have to make that my future target date. Usually I’m a week or two at the most before Xmas getting them hung. The only remaining task will be to purchase a real tree for upstairs and put the last string of lights on that and decorate it.

I downloaded a fitness training program and tracking spreadsheet. As I looked at it and thought about it I realized I’d rather spend that time working out or doing something besides entering data in a spreadsheet. If I want to know results I look in the mirror and get on a scale and check in with myself on how I’m feeling.

I didn’t delete it and maybe I will come back to it but I’m not that sure I want to get that serious into fitness tracking. I certainly want to be more fit but right now I’m starting by doing it. Plus I got a great start earlier this year by dropping at least 30 lbs.


Random Thoughts of the Day

  • I long for some things but try to be satisfied with what I have.
  • It took me a very long time to be happy with myself.
  • I hope to prove you can do great things with very little.
  • The more I create, the more new ideas seem to come to mind.
