3 Positives:
Finished all the Father’s Day cards yesterday
some comfort food for dinner
printed pics for May and June folders – quite a few projects completed all in all.

Our Journey Notes:
24 hr allergy med is working for about 8 – 12 hours. I guess I need to talk to the dr again and see what he recommends next. Also back on the insomnia wheel again. 2 nights in now, but hopefully, this cycle will be a shorter one than the last. A and T have been really good at reminding me of things the last couple of days. It’s been very helpful. Things haven’t been sticking much since my sleep cycle has been interrupted again.

T has two appointments this week. Monday for blood draw and Tuesday he meets with the dr and gets some new scrips for the pharmacy. Late work starts on both those days. He goes back for another eye post op the following week – not sure if he’s taking a vacation day for that one or not.

3 Positives:
2 coats of paint on all but the ceiling in the master bath
T noticed that things were a bit brighter in there (that’s a good thing)
Got a little reading time in

Our Journey Notes:
T’s been having more bad eye days than good this past week. He’s pulled out the walking stick and is using it quite a bit in the house, but isn’t taking it outside except for on the deck. The cataract is really impacting his right (good) eye with some significant blurriness and more. Let’s hope that will be scheduled within a couple of weeks of his next procedure in May.

I’ve got to rethink a few things — and hope that tweaking a few things will be helpful. The lists are still working pretty well — including adding a priority to some items on the short and long lists. I did skip a few things last week, and need to move those things to the top of the list for this week. Hoping the “tweaks” work in my favor.

3 Positives:
Saturday chores completed in good time
Photoshop elements and I had a good editing session
Baked a small batch of peanut butter cookies

Our Journey Notes:
T is burning through his list of audio books almost weekly. He has a hard time waiting until his credits are dropped and he can get a new one. I’m trying to get him to switch to another platform, but he’s not wanting to right now. The apps the library uses has no appeal either. We’ll see how long it lasts as he’s nearly memorized word for word, one of the books he purchased.

I’ve broken out in a rash on my arm. Have to watch it and then if it changes or grows in size by tomorrow, I need to go in. Not sure that it’s injection related (vaccines), though one of the injection sites had a small ring of rash around it yesterday, it hadn’t been there previously. No pain, or fever at the site. It doesn’t look like it’s changed in size though it has faded a bit when checked this morning.

Changing my to-do list format a bit. I’ve just been writing things down as I’ve thought of them. Now, however, I do need to start prioritizing a few and move them up to the top of the list with a finish by time or date depending on whether it’s a daily list or a weekly list. While I generally finish the lists, some of the items I least like doing are left to the last and by then, I’m on on a time crunch to get them finished on time — plain and simple procrastination. So I’m hoping that by moving those items to the top with a time and date to finish will help and lessen the stress/panic of not getting them sorted out as needed. And then, nothing gets lost in the muddle of it all.
