Trying to get back into the groove....
Sep. 8th, 2021 08:36 amSo the last few weeks have been weird. I got to my gym time mostly. But my eating has been....off. And the boozles were a lot. The project was making my anxiety get big cause I had "all the worries" even though it all would turn out fine...my brain was not down with that program. So I took Labor Day Weekend while Mel was gone to just not do anything really. I read, played video games, watched a lot of tv with and without Benton and finally did some chores on Sunday.
Reminder...the Costco brand of "flex" trashbags are TRASH! OMG! I'm glad I did the cat box dump on the porch versus my hallway. Ugh. Never buying those again. Yuck. OMG! I'm a trash bag snob to go with my paper towel snobbery and my TP snobbery. Well the TP is more my bum sensitivities than anything and previous cat preference for things not shred but still. Snobbery! Oh my stars and garters.
So yeah feeling unmoored after crazy making of things so maybe that is part of the mental let down from things and part of it is who knows? The weather is weird and monsoony and well yeah, self care means also taking my time and getting myself in order. I have had no will power for things...so I need to think about that. Its the easy option. I know how to take care of myself. I can do it. So working this week to take things in a bit better and eat a bit better and stop with all of the drinking except a few on the weekends. When you kid calls you on your consumption...yeah.
So moderation...I can do it. I went 6 weeks without booze earlier this year I can do it down to like 3 drinks a week. Seriously. I can do this. I don't need the crutch of a beer in the evening....I just need to make a very nice and savory/tasty drink in the weekend. Its okay.
So, things to work on for me. Due to it being hot, and too many fucking mosquitos means my other commission is not in work and I really wanted that to get further to done over labor day. So oh well.
I step down today as a Kingdom officer and that feels really good. No responsibilities for me! Woohoo! Its been since October 2011 with no breaks so I think its time to rest a bit. Before that it was June 2001 thru March 2009. So I'm good with a break and time to make things and just be.
So plans for the next few weeks...workout when I can...watch what I'm eating and watch the booze. Plus make things. I have a plan to work on my own coat/Kaftan. I've had the fabric set since last october for the Calontir Clothing Challenge and I'm gonna make myself a nice kaftan that is fancy and will look good when I wear my boy clothes. I also need some underdresses cause a lot of mine are getting worn out. I have lots of fabric and I have a quilt of my grandmothers I want to trim off the crap, fix the patches and reback/bind which I would love to repair and give to my mom for Xmas. So goals of things.
Slow and steady with 2 more SCA events after this weekend for the year. we have the local event and then GWW and coronation. We shall see how that goes.
