Self Care 1/15

How are things going?

Challenge: Spend a bit of time on a hobby or set aside some time coming up to do so.

Sick dogs have been taking up a lot of my time. I've had to fix some clothing for people, so that has given me some sewing time. I've also fit in a few more soaks in the tub.

This week is more of the same.

I've been spending my weekend sleeping, cleaning the house, catching up on bills and expenses. Actually managed to carve out some time for career counseling homework! Feels good to be finally getting a few things done.

My muscles feel crampy, IDK why. This may be a good excuse for a banana split. Or an epsom salt bath. Oh, crap. That reminds me that I have yet to clean the bathrooms.

DS comes home tomorrow. Hopefully I'm sufficiently rested to handle whatever he throws at me. Literally and figuratively.

Challenge: I want to make time for some leisure reading. Haven't managed to do it all weekend in spite of having the intention. Will have to find time elsewhere.

I got nothing.

I’ve been making an effort. Yesterday, our dog needed to go into the vet. I also had blood work to do in the AM, and DD’s OT in the afternoon. I asked DH to take in the dog, which he did after initially saying he needed to go to work. Well, so did I. He’s used to me taking care of it all, which just can’t continue.

Challenge: I signed up for a beginning guitar class through the local community college. The teacher said to expect to practice 1.5 hours/week, so that’s my goal for something new/fun.
