My goal for today was getting the house ready for my daughter’s visit home tomorrow. Finished up about an hour ago.

A longer term goal is to get the piano tuned so I can get back to doing something I really enjoy.

1. Done
2. Done and really did some extra nitty gritty cleaning, too.
3. Well, I convinced my husband to go to Mooyah Burger.

Also, did some tidying of other rooms, too. The house is not that bad. I do want to clean the kitchen floor tomorrow. I really should finally fold and put away my two baskets of clean clothes.

I decided to hold off on making the one type of Christmas cookie until I get some new vanilla beans from Amazon. They're due to arrive Sunday evening. I may have to either make or buy some other dessert. We may have one of hubby's work friends and her boyfriend over for coffee sometime this weekend.

Next goal, wash the sheets for the spare bedroom and get that bed made!

I did this meditation today
. It was very relaxing. I have a long way to go with the meditation, but am finding just starting with 5 minutes is a good way to get into it. I can already catch how much chatter is going on in my head and yeah, this is definitely something I need to work on.

Everyone is inspiring me with their goals. I need to think of my weekend and next week goals in addition to continuing the meditation (and likely increasing to ten minutes next week).

Skipped yesterday, but today I did my meditation and I think I'll do another 5 minute one to make up for yesterday. I can also see the benefit of doing a few 5 minute meditations per day. I am really trying to retrain my brain here, but it sure is chatty haha.

Other goals for this coming week are to run three times per week (really these are just short jogs) and to do my PT stretches 3 time per week or more, too.

I also need to schedule and figure out some doctors and dentist appointments. So this upcoming week I am going to try to schedule an appointment with a podiatrist and dentist.

I have gotten a lot done over the past 3 days. I did not think to post the goals here. Suffice to say, I am very pleased and need to keep it up! I am trying to rest today, as I am having a lot of dizziness, which I think is related to an increased Lamictal dose. I do not agree with the increase; however, my pdoc insists I give it an honest try.I am having difficulty walking from room to room due to the dizziness. I hope today is not a hint of days to come. I honestly cannot continue this, If it does not subside soon. I will have to drop the increase. Whew!

I have an important function to attend tomorrow. I will also have company tomorrow night into Tuesday.

I hope i recover from the dizziness soon.

Love to ALL!

Oh no, I hope the dizziness passes. Does you pdoc know about that? Be careful, especially that you don't fall or anything like that.

Great work on accomplishing things!

Thank you for your response. My pdoc knows. She insists I give this a try. I am not sure I can do it. I have tried before and had adverse effects. Time will tell. I definitely cannot do it tomorrow. I cannot miss the function. Much Love~

I'm not at my apartment right now, but I'm going to do some more cleanup when I get back today. I don't have any specific goals in mind because I *wanted* to put my shelving up and then put things on the shelving to organize things, but my shelving hasn't even been shipped yet. (Who knows when it'll get here at this point!) So, I'm just going to make organized piles on my floor in hopes that my shelving will come sometime within the next 10 years and then I can build the shelving and put stuff on it. After that, I can setup my new TV.

That's all for today.

goals accomplished:
1- bro in law and wife visited and they loved our house!
2-trip to Niagara Falls was um...an adventure (waaay overcrowded, the park lot was full, got charged 30 bucks to park in a garage for the day. then it rained a monsoon on us while we exited the park) to say the least. but we worked it out and still managed to have fun.
3- had a nice. warm dinner after the Falls, at Fridays.

goal for today:
REST! (and watch movies).

Weekly goal is to set aside a day or two to work on mental health and try to let go of mental health topics for the rest of the week.

Daily goal is to focus on my diet and nutrition.

The mattress pad was a little damp on the corners, so had to let that dry completely. Made the bed and the spare room is ready. Now I gotta strip and wash my bed.

My goal for tomorrow is to get some groceries and not buy a a ton of crap I don't need (junk food). Also, I'd like to clean my bathroom.

For this week bigger goals are to do some laundry and spend time with my friend
