Self Care 8/6

[cam]

Summer has been so hectic. When it feels like a few days have gone by, the calendar tells me it was really a few weeks, and I rarely know if a given day is a Monday or a Friday anymore. So sorry for being around so infrequently. Anyway...



Check in here.

Challenge: If something is disorganized, get it organized so your life can run smoother.

We've had a steady stream of company lately. I'm making progress on a couple of big projects. That's about it lately.

DS is with his dad for the rest of the month. First time we will have been apart for so long.

I have a massive to-do list to tackle, much of it has to do with getting the house organized. Hopefully some time for rest and self-care here and there

We’ve had a hard couple of weeks. DH lost his job due to college budget cuts, so that’s been stressful. DD had a stomach bug, which was the first time she’s had diarrhea since she was a baby. Ugh, so much laundry. I mostly lost my sense of smell a few years back, so I couldn’t tell she’d gone in her pants right away. Many discussions of “tell someone if you have an accident”, which went nowhere.

In good news, we got a new puppy on Saturday. My favorite dog passed away in December; I WFH, so we were together a lot. Hopefully Duncan will be my new work buddy:


As for organizing, I really need to go through our clothes. I’ve bought sizes ahead for DD, and we also have some hand-me-downs that need to be sorted. Don’t want to miss pulling out any of the fall sizes that we already have.

We are back from a camping vacation. It's a lot of work and not a lot of self care kind of the opposite with all the dirt. But it was soul care to be out in nature, and the kids did great. I was super nervous.

Back to more of the traditional self care of caring for skin and working out that kind of thing hopefully this week. I do need a show or movie to watch while working out if anyone has any suggestions. Nothing scary, and something attention grabbing. I get bored easily with a lot of movies and books.
