It is Monday. The internal battle is already brewing. Several hard things have come up at work already this morning and I feel my jaw tightening and my stomach hurting. I just want a checklist and I want every one to only do the things on the checklist with no questions. Is that too much to ask? I think it is. It isn't even reasonable to wish for that, I guess.
Deep breaths. Remember the plan, go visit the list on the pantry door....SUCK AT WORK, SUCK AT WORK. Just do the next thing in front of you. No need to worry about the next 75 things after that.
Let's jump back to yesterday and relive the last relaxing day before my jaw started clenching! When I went to bed on Saturday night, it was like 70 degrees outside and when I woke up on Sunday morning it was 27 degrees! It got cold! Finally got our winter temps! I kind of love it!
I got up pretty early, hit the coffee and the green juice. Picked up my grocery order and washed and prepped all the fruits and veggies. A pain, but so worth it. I then got busy putting away all the Christmas decorations and getting the house back together. That always feels so cleansing to me. I have pared down the decorations a lot over the last few years and getting it out and putting it away are much easier. Didn't take long at all. Went on an afternoon walk with Coop and Judy. Raked some leaves. Had our weekly family call with my parents and siblings. Made salmon, brown rice and broccoli for dinner. Then me and Chip went to see the new SpiderMan movie. It was so good! A lovely, lovely day. Grateful.
Today, I was up at 5:30 a.m. and did a little Bible reading with my single cup of coffee. Pressed my green juice and made breakfast. Only missing the exercise piece this morning, but with all my prep work the morning routine was very manageable and didn't take long at all. Felt good. I am going to jump on the Peloton at lunch to get the old heart rate up. I also made a brunch date and a couple dinner dates with friends!
Done. Done. Done.
But here is some news...it is Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. and I am sipping on hot lemon water?
WHO AM I?
What happened to coffee? Why is one cup enough? It is the weirdest thing?
Hope your week is off to a great start! Anything weird happening with you?
