Share something you did well and/or something great from this week
Re: Winning Wednesday 5/8
1) I was super brave, and injected myself with the nasty medicine this week!!!
2) I was feeling overwhelmed, and so I made lists of things to do. A page long for each of the last few days, and it felt great to cross things off, and get things accomplished! (Even if some of the things were "shower" haha.)
3) I've been sleeping better the last few days. Less insomnia. I'm able to wake up realizing I have to pee, and roll over and ignore it haha.
Oo! And I've come up with a bunch more! It's super neat how thinking positive can make you think MORE positively!
4) TMI warning: I totally dressed up a lacy little outfit and lit candles as a surprise for DH last night. Yay for finally being cleared! It's a good week 😉
5) I found a second hand jogging stroller on sale on Kijiji (dunno if you guys have that in the states. Like Craigslist but with less of a creepy reputation). It's like a $500 stroller, and we got it for $50!
6) I made $375 at our garage sale this weekend!
7) I was also productive making phone calls and booking appointments (which is tough for me. I get anxiety about making calls). So I've got my first haircut in... 18 months booked. Booked a physio appointment, AND booked DH and myself in for a couple's massage for our anniversary this weekend!
8) oo! AND I organized/coordinated/planned get togethers and meal plan for both our mothers for mother's day celebrations.
It's all about the little things for me haha
My win for the week is that my parents will be purchasing our nursery furniture! They told me they would buy the crib, but I found a set at Costco that came with the dresser/changing top PLUS all the extra parts to convert the crib to a toddler/full size bed. I wasn't sure of their budget, so I offered to pay half, but they surprised me by saying they would cover the entire cost! Here's the set for reference:
I had ice cream for lunch today. I call that a win. Also, the nursery is now cleaned out and ready to be painted.
1) I’ve been powering through a few chores lately. Got tons of laundry done last Friday, vacuumed a little yesterday. I also ordered hangers for the boys’ closet so I can start washing and putting away all the clothes my friends are handing down to me.
2) Indiana changed the school cut-off birthday from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1!!! I had been super stressed that I wouldn’t have the option of sending the boys to kindergarten when they’re 5, and that they could miss the cutoff by days. So now there’s zero worry (unless the state changes it AGAIN, but I don’t think they will).
3) DH took the morning off work so I didn’t have to wrangle the toddler at my US / appt today. That also allowed me to hang out with a few friends this morning toddler-free...which is sooo much less stressful than when I’m with the toddler!
He finally got his slides approved by his adviser, and all the professors on his committee to agree to a date! He's submitting the form today to scheduled the committee meeting that is the next step in his PhD program.
(This is to get his thesis topic approved. Once the committee approved his thesis topic, he will be considered a PhD candidate, and can start working on his dissertation.)
I was tired yesterday but managed to drag myself out of bed and take a 90 minute yoga class, and swim for 20 minutes. Also changed my name at the bank.
Tired today but I'm up and going to the DMV.
My days are mostly not about packing in a ton of things but making each day meaningful in some aspect.
(I think she probably took more off than I wanted
But she gave it a nice little curl! So now I'm sitting here, all pretty, but husband just left for work 😂)
