3 Positives:
quiet moments
successful completion of a project
worked on a new design

3 Positives:
Did a little shopping
Played with paper for a couple of hours yesterday
The pico de gallo is gone again…. more to come of that. It’s definitely been a hit this year.

My Journey Notes:
Not sure what’s up with the insomnia… but I thought we’d turned the corner on that one Saturday, but not so. Spent several hours awake Sunday night and again last night. Fitbit stats are not so good. But at least Sunday was double the time for last night. I really need to find something that will support a good night’s sleep — I know on the days that I haven’t gotten enough sleep, my memory and ability to focus and function are less than desired and I really need the focus for the next few days as I work on a project that requires my full attention to the details.

3 Positives:
Finished reading a book
Had a nice visit with a friend
Sleeping a little better overall

3 Positives:
yesterday morning’s walk was interesting
yummy smells from the kitchen
a clean desk/table to work on

My Journey Notes:
Waiting on a call or text from the doctor’s office today about the results from yesterday’s blood draw. Could be we’re going to be adjusting again. Levels may be just a tad too high for his liking.

Yesterday’s visit with the pharmacist was interesting. Calling the insurance company today to get the dirty details on dispensing quantities and if those 9 pills are for 3 months or longer. Gotta love it when they won’t approve a refill – and you can’t count the out of pocket towards your deductible. I’m already having to decide which migraines to treat and which ones to let run their course by letting them bloom fully before taking the med which is supposed to be taken at the onset.

Last night’s first session using the sleep/meditation app was a bust. LOL My phone shut off 15 minutes into the recording. Going to have to work on that tonight if I’m going to achieve the goal for the week.

3 Positives:
the made from scratch enchiladas were a hit
family arrived safely
insomnia cycle has been broken

3 Positives:
Nearly finished up canning a bushel of apricots – just the nectar to bottle and process today
Lovely time sitting on the deck last evening
A stir fried zucchini and summer squash dished up at dinner last night — a true taste of summer!

My Journey Notes:
Making a note on my electronic calendar for Feb of next year — make appointment to renew IDs. One place takes nearly 3 months to get an appointment currently and the other requires 3 weeks and neither can have expired before your appointment or you have to bring in the “bundle of paperwork” to prove who you are. It’s crazy! At least I do have all the paperwork gathered in a folder and it’s on my desk so it won’t get lost! And as of today, the state legislature hasn’t banned mail in voting which our county does — so we’ll see how that goes next year for mid-terms.

3 Positives:
All but one item on the to-do list checked off.
Got a bit of reading time in
Nap (seems the heat is getting to me a bit)

3 Positives:
More progress on a couple of projects
Conversations
Working together

My Journey Notes:
Hoping for another fairly good day. I have a pretty good morning routine now and that helps to keep things on track for the day. And got some sleep last night after the fireworks had stopped. I think we’ve come up with a solution to help the dog as well. We’ll see how things go for the rest of the week. Lots of fireworks in nearby neighborhoods — and they’re not just the small ones.

3 Positives:
small discoveries
happy conversations
a good night’s sleep

3 Positives:
good news on a couple of fronts
a bit of progress on big project we’ve been working on
better sleep last night
