Back at a new week....
This is the last few days before school starts and my morning routine gets shoved out of wack again. I have to deliver Benton to school at 815 and I host an 830 zoom meeting...this should be fun. But it will be good for him and us. They are taking precautions as best they can with the damnable law our governor put in place which bans mask mandates. He is an asshat. But Pima county as a whole is very good on vaccinations, the teachers are all vaxed, we are vaxed and hopefully by shortly after winter holiday Benton can be vaxed as well. Am I scared. yes. Do we have any other options....other than home schooling...no. He needs the social interaction as much as we do. So we shall see how things go. Our work has put on hold any plans to go back after Labor day.
The weekend was a three day weekend and I had grand plans for cleaning my studio up...its had become cluttered and just annoying to get around. Plus I needed things for a new mirror on my studio door (the last one crashed to horrible affect a week or so ago), I needed to reframe some photos and just pick up stuff in general.. But I couldn't even open the door to the studio. Seriously. I managed to read and play Stardew Valley. I managed to unlock a few things in the game and get married to one of the characters...so I've now made it farther than Mel has in the game. But I didn't craft, I didn't do much but run errands around the town on 3 days versus cramming it into one day like I like to do. I did manage to get my eye brows done and a massage but it felt kinda wasted of a weekend but I think I needed the rest and relaxation.
I got myself to the gym last night and got almost everything off of my to do list...including cleaning my studio. I did it while on the weekly arts zoom and that was a good plan. Having friends to chat with who aren't under foot while I dash about was nice. But i may have over done things...my brain took a long time to turn off last night and then I slept okay but was exhausted when I got up and looking at my sleep graph from my Fitbit and it was rough sleep. So, I guess that means maybe I pushed too hard? I don't know. I'm changing up my food inputs and trying to get my macros dialed back in. I need to stop drinking as much and just feed my body the fuel it needs and get my weight back under control. I its not bad honestly...I'm about 10lbs more than I was before the pandemic but it doesn't look like I am. But I was on a good keel in the before times and I just need to work on it. I can get it, I know I can do it. I just need to do it. With other things taking less time it will be good to concentrate on that.
Yes, lots of big talk on my part but I'm 44...I need to get things handled. I'm slower to heal from things and need to take care of myself. honestly.
I'm still reading "The Color of Magic" and I got past the point in my head where I wasn't understanding what I was reading. Terry is funny and his writing drops the jokes in small lines and you will miss them if you aren't paying attention. I need to pay attention.

It's a Secret Santa gift exchange, but for the fun halloween stuff that starts to appear in stores come August. It's Dollar Store spider straws and skelly plastic tablecloth, it's that cute glitterbat pick at Michael's, it's an excuse to use up that scrap pink ghosts fabric to make a (purse/pouch/hair thing), it's an excuse to clear out your stash of stuff you bought but will never use, it's supporting an etsy seller.
It could be "an excuse to buy the things you think are cute but don't actually want in your house", or "I am going shopping and it's one for the swap and one for me, one for the swap and one for me...". It can be as silly and useless or austere and elegant as you like ($25 worth of dollar store nonsense or a single stained glass piece, eg)
I tagged Ari but I don't think she has seen this. You don't have to participate, I won't be insulted :)
