    I hope he feels better soon, too! When he’s home sick, it throws off my entire day. I’m going to be out for a good chunk of the day between lunch and grocery shopping. I’m hoping he’ll sleep most of the day. I really believe that this is stress related although he won’t ever admit it.

  • Well, I can’t donate the books today because the library is closed for the holiday. So, one more day.

    My husband is home sick, so that always makes it difficult to get things done. Lunch with my sis and a trip to the grocery store (without sis!) Steps and liquids, of course.

    Breakfast will be a vanilla Premier Protein shake mixed with some Chai…[Read more]

  • Happy Sunday!

    I’m sitting here in the quiet with the dog. It’s about 60 degrees outside (that won’t last long) and, so far, a beautiful sunny day! (yesterday was overcast and gloomy)

    I have no real plans for the day so far other than loading more boxes of books than I want to think about into my car to donate tomorrow. It has occurred to me that…[Read more]

  • On the job front, the Greenville group is starting to look at the job applications from the Waco group. So we’re just waiting to hear back from them. Either way, we’re still getting the house ready to sell. We’ll either be moving or have a really nice house to live in!

    The home office is nearly finished. I’ll be taking all of the books still here…[Read more]

  • WOOHOO! All of the books are sorted! I’m babysitting my 6 month old grandson this afternoon and told my son that payment for this was he and his wife going through the books to get what they want. Because, Monday, all of the books are being donated to the library. To give you a small idea of what this involved, I’m keeping 6 boxes of books (boxes…[Read more]

    I will be done with all of the books today! I’m doing a quick sweep through all of the boxes and pulling out the children’s books for my grandsons and another sweep of the house to make sure that no books are left behind. I will be so glad to have this done. My back has been aching enough to keep me awake at night. The books will be loaded into my…[Read more]

  • Working on it. I got up early today and was showered and dressed before hubby was up. Left the house right after he did. Now I’m trying to finish up sorting all those books. And laundry. I wish the temperatures would at least get out of the mid to upper 90’s. The amount of laundry I’d have to do would drop significantly. Supposedly mid week next…[Read more]

  • Sounds like a good plan!

  • Robin Miller replied to the topic October 5 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 2 months ago

    Yup, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and ask for help. Not a thing wrong with that and something I should do more.

    Still working on the house. Sometimes I think that I will be working on cleaning out the house forever!

    Breakfast was a Quest bar

    Lunch will be turkey and veggie tots

    Dinner will be leftovers.

    <p style=”text-align: left;”>I woke up very tired this morning. I’m on day 4 of a major headache (we had to front come thru) that I just can’t seem to shake. However, I am getting some things done. I bought a 4 pound tub of peanut butter and on Monday and by mid afternoon (I’m taking a lunch break) the entire tub will have been made into protein…[Read more]

    I woke up this morning, as my husband said, totally frazzled. I can’t seem to maintain a thought in my head. However, I did get my “monthly maintenance” things done. (ran dishwasher cleaner through the dishwasher, disposal cleaner through the disposal, washing machine cleaner thru the washer and cleaned the filters on the washer and dryer…[Read more]

  • Happy Monday! (if there can be such a thing)

    Today I’m catching up on all the things I didn’t do this past weekend and should’ve.

    My grocery shopping is done. Found out that the the entire chain of stores is out of the only coffee my husband drinks. And it’s their store brand! My store has been sending frantic emails to corporate but corporate…[Read more]

  • I’m just checking in. I have no idea what today will bring and have no plans other than I told my husband that we have to get out of the house and do something to relax. No talking about his job or the house. For a minimum of 60 minutes. I’m sitting in the living room, sipping on a cup of coffee in the quiet. Hubby’s still asleep. The dog is…[Read more]

  • I’m going to continue to clean out my house this week. I’ve already contacted local charities to see what of this stuff they’ll take. My local library is going to be thrilled!

    Getting my steps and liquids in. Both of these have been a major effort for me lately.

    Planning meals ahead of time as much as possible. Especially breakfast and lunch.…[Read more]

  • Up early this morning to haul a truck load of stuff to the bulk trash collection day. We got there early and sat in the cool and quiet and watched a beautiful sunrise. As soon as hubby gets his shower, we’ll be off to pick up paint and flooring samples for the house.

    Food wise, I don’t really have a clue yet. Probably a scrambled egg with turkey…[Read more]

  • WOOHOO! Today I will finally be through with sorting out all of those cookbooks in my home office. (my mom collected cookbooks and I ended up with most of them after she died.) I have three more shelves to go through and I’ll be done! I’m keeping three boxes of books total (not all cookbooks) and will be donating 10+boxes. I’ll also be done with…[Read more]

  • Today is the beginning of a very long and hard two months. After a very long discussion last night, my husband and I came to the conclusion that there is no future (or security) at his work now. He’s applying for a transfer to the location 2+ hours away. Which means we’re moving. He would like us out of our house by Thanksgiving. So, lot’s to keep…[Read more]

  • I know that drained feeling all too well! Be kind to yourself and don’t overdo!

    We’re still in recovery mode from all the stress. My husband is still employed! However, I think that he will be trying to get a transfer to the main location (about 2.5 hours from here, so the cleaning out and prepping the house to sell continues.)

    This morning, I’m…[Read more]

  • Good Morning and happy Monday!

    Today is a catch up day for me after having company since Thursday and a very busy weekend. Laundry and cleaning house is my plan for today. Getting my steps and push-ups in (planks are going to have to wait until I’m not quite so sore from being bent over in the back of a pickup tossing wood out the back.).

    Meals…[Read more]

  • Still cleaning out the house. It’s finally looking like I’m making some progress!

    Food wise, I’m still working out of the freezer It’s starting to look empty.

    Exercise will be walking, of course, and working on my push-ups and planks. I’m not sure how well that will work out at the first part of the week as I’m already feeling a bit sore from…[Read more]
