showing up…

3 Positives:
a little play time in the studio is a good thing
read a little
checked off a few things on the longer to-do list

My Journey Notes:
Last week’s eye surprise for T means additional changes in how things move forward. We rolled out the first of the changes last week and those will continue at least until after the first of the year. He did get a nice walk in yesterday and nearly completed his goal of steps for the day. I have a feeling some of our long term plans are also about to change — so trying to figure out how to adapt to those as well as keep things moving in as positive a way as we can. The lists just got a little longer!

be a trailblazer – try something new!

3 Positives:
a bit of fun in the studio and 5 of 12 Halloween ornaments completed
sourdough is ready for lamination and final rise
Have decided on the family gift for this year’s Christmas

My Journey Notes:
Need to redraft a bit on the regular routine and lists. Hopefully, the tweaking will help a bit in staying on top of some “neglected” chores. LOL Drafted the rest of the household to help last week and that has made a difference this week. More of the same this weekend! 🙂

3 Positives:
Sourdough is ready to use! I think a cinnamon swirl loaf will be in the oven later today!
New design is coming together
enjoy the quiet moments

My Journey Notes:
Monday’s bloodwork is bringing another change to the thyroid meds. Levels still not as stable as the Dr. would like. The pharmacy is having to “find” the pill as it’s not one they keep on hand. Second time this week they’ve had to delay filling a scrip for me this week.

kindness begins with each of us

3 Positives:
made some “ok” English muffins with the sourdough discard – I think next time, we do the full version with actively fed discard or sourdough start
dr appointment went well
another night of good sleep

My Journey Notes:
Reminded to keep up the walking — and dr was happy that most of the sleep issues have been resolved with recent changes in routine and meds. Stress levels have gone down a lot since my last visit. We did talk about a few other things I’ve had some concerns about. He did order some other bloodwork so we’ll see what those results are — should have them today.

each step

3 Positives:
a pretty good night’s sleep overall
no midnight awakening
The car is back and looks pretty darn good.

My Journey Notes:
Pre-registration for Monday’s appointment completed. New app, new forms to complete as not much carried over from the old app. Review of some insurance claims and it’s nice to know that pre-authorization for one of my meds is no longer needed. SWEET! Now, just to get the pharmacy to stop ??? the scrip. To-do list fell by the wayside yesterday afternoon. Found myself not getting anywhere on anything. Stared at a “construction” sheet of something I’d done before and couldn’t fathom how to do it. Hoping today will be a better day overall in the studio – there’s one project I need to finish up today. We also have some preps to do before family dinner tomorrow – and another run to the store to pick up a few things for our contribution to the meal ….
