I found this gem in the archives

3 Positives:
all the bottles of tomatoes sealed!
ministering cards assembled and ready for personalization
grateful that the peaches aren’t ready to pick today as I’ve still got a few tomatoes to make into salsa today!

My Journey Notes:
I think we may have hit on the right dosage for the thyroid med. Not having the previous issues with side effects – so hopefully, that will help keep things stabilized for the time being. And as long as I have a list, I do pretty good overall. On the days I don’t keep to the routine, I tend to lose track of things more… so here’s to another daily list to check off!

3 Positives:
picked the blackberries – YUM! Blackberry pie filling being made this morning
finished a condolence card – this one was a hard one.
happy mail arrived a day early!

My Journey Notes:
Last night was the first night in about 5 that I’ve been able to go right back to sleep after waking up. The insomnia this week has been awful — not sure if it was relevant to what was happening in the extended family dynamic or not, but even the sleep aid wasn’t helpful.

Short term memory stuff has been a bigger issue this past week. I’m sure part of the problem is that my brain isn’t “recovering” overnight — since I haven’t been sleeping much.
