I will take the urn of my sweet Sherlock home today
Taking it slow today, grieving, processing, cuddling my zoo.
Besides being gentle to myself I will CLEAN autumn cleaning in progress!
Unpacked 4 boxes yesterday, will unpack and throw away office stuff in the afternoon. Yep, those are the moving boxes where I just threw in everything without pre-decluttering So I guess trash bags will be in use today
It’s a sunny fall day, cool with a light breeze.
Now balcony time with tea before I walk the dog and drive to the crematorium.
Our holiday is coming to an end now, but at least we managed to cross quite a few things off our to-do list. The not-so-great part was that we were ill throughout our entire holiday again, which seems to be typical for us as soon as the stress from work starts to ease off.
We’ve now spoken to the company that will most likely build our house, so the only thing left is for the bank to approve the financing plan.
I hope you all have a fantastic and eventful weekend!
@erntedank. Sending comforting hugs to you. RIP sweet Sherlock .
@Planipennia sorry you have been ill during the holidays. My body used to do that all the time to me. The minute I slowed down was when I got sick. Please take care of yourself. . Fingers crossed on the financial portion .. hopefully you’ll be building in no time.
Happy Friday folks
Not a whole lot going on. Gym soon and then I have a split day between work locations. I’ve been slacking and need to get on with making donuts for work …I love the fall flavors.
Gonna be a long day which I’m prepared for.
Have yourselves a wonderful day!
Im up and getting ready for the day. Im undecided on exercise today. I want to go to the gym to run but its cold and rainy out. I should go jump on the elliptical downstairs…yep thats what ill do!
Lots of work to catchup on. I had some unexpected time off due to an adverse reaction to a med change and my moms heart surgery.
I will take things one step at a time, Practice the serenity prayer, and hope for the best.
One thing i am certain of, today i will not drink or drug because i choose a life of recovery
The only thing we have planned for this weekend is a hike in the woods, so apart from that, it looks like it’s going to be a pretty relaxing one. And of course, I managed to get well again just in time for work to start back up.
I hope you all have a great start to a wonderful weekend!
I had a very productive morning deep cleaning the kitchen & one window & getting stuff put away
Yes, it’s cleaning day again and i’m still into autumn cleaning It’s great, i kid you not, something changed and i like deep cleaning the house this season not an unloved necessity this year!
friends stopped by for lunch, it was lovely.
for the rest of the afternoon it’s couch, cuddling my zoo, having apple juice with water and watching series. enough work for today.
evening plan: early to bed
I didn’t get much sleep and am dealing with just surviving at the moment. Been a super busy start already and it’s only 8:30. Running around like mad for past few hours. Finally sitting with coffee and will head to gym shortly.
Have a long work day ahead and a festival tomorrow at a barn sanctuary do that will be fun. Love that I will get to see some animals .
Today’s thoughts are about constructive criticism; giving and receiving.
I was watching a video on how to have better conversations; there was a point in the video where I paused it to discuss the point with my wife. After my point was made, she said that there’s something I do that annoys her. I tend to take long pauses while I talk. She said, I don’t know if you’re done or not, then quipped “c’mon, just say it, I don’t have time for this”. I took mental note, next time, no long pauses and I moved on.
Later in the video, they talked about when someone tells you a story about themselves, keep your own personal related stories to yourself; let them have the spotlight. I paused it and said to my wife, this is something you could work on, you tend to cut people off when they set up their story and start telling your own story… She got so offended and mad at me saying I need to be an ally and not an adversary. Like what? I said that you just shit on me 2 minutes ago and was very condescending but if I point out an area she could work on, I’m the asshole? Then she took off in my car. Clearly, she cannot handle criticism, at least, coming from me.
I’ll be in the doghouse for a while, but now she knows and maybe she will catch herself the next time she cuts someone off and steals the spotlight, and if that happens, it will be worth it.
Anyway, I’m off to the gym, gotta walk because wife took off in my car.
Happy Friday ya’ll and remember, if someone points out a flaw, it’s because they love you, not because their an asshole! ~ probably.
