I'm sorry because you have to go through all this. Know from own experience how hard it is for a family when their loved ones are at hospital!

I took out my trash and cleaned the big litter box. That's all I can handle today. Maybe tomorrow I will go by the dealership for my plates. Hope everyone is well.

All items reached, but I was so tired this morning that I needed to go to bed again after breakfast. It did not bother me, because I think that our responsibility to ourselves and to God, first and foremost is to take care of the body (our health) that God has given us. I separate between laziness (to hide away) and a really need that has to be a priority before anything else. After I had regained my strength I went for my walk. When I worked in my storage room, my shredder went to peaces. I will need to buy a new one tomorrow.

My plans for tomorrow:

- Empty dishwasher.
- Gym.
- Some food.
- Take my bottles to the grocery store.
- Go and look for some new curtains.
- Hopefully find a new shredder to buy.

May you all feel that what you are able to do is OK (either little or much)!

At the breakfast table my head bowed and my eyelids almost closed. I understood that this was just another day when I didn't have any other choices then to follow my body's needs, even if I had other plans. I crept to bed for half an hour.

I think that the most important when such "things" happens is to accept that so it is. It would be a big mistake to start self blaming.

I am on my feet again (without self blame) and am ready to fulfill my to do list for this day.

Yesterday was not too bad. I was pretty sure I would skip my second meeting but decided to go. It was really productive, so I am glad I pushed through. I'm leaning towards not going to the event this Saturday due to rising Covid case counts here. I also got the house more under control.

Today I have one meeting and a zillion errands.

1. List out all the places I need to go today and when.

2. Review GTD app.
3. Workshop proposal.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day!

I have been very tired this day, but have reached every item except to buy a new shredder. I was in the shop and looked for one. It was too big to carry home today when I already had the curtains and curtain rods to carry.

My plans for tomorrow:

- Gym.
- Take out trash.
- Buy shredder.
- Grocery store.

All I did was errands yesterday. Unbelievable. I still have one left but may not make it today. I did not review my task list or work on my workshop proposal.

1. Prepare gift.
2. Dishes.
3. Workshop proposal.
4. Portfolio.

I did a good and hard job at the Gym today, so I only wanted to take it easy afterward. I went to the grocery store, but to buy the shredder has to wait until tomorrow.

My plans for tomorrow:

- A walk outside.
- Buy sheredder.
- Office.
- Relax.

I have spent a most enjoyable day at the pool in the sun and am now going to help my brother transition from the hospital to his place of rehab for the next several weeks. After that I need to run a few errands and pick up a vegetable plate to go from Cheddar’s. We had a roofer give us an estimate on the roof. It’s in pristine shape he said. Aaahhh…some good news! Things are looking up! I had a fantastic therapy session as well.

1. Grocery store
2. Cook
3. At least five minutes on portfolio and proposal

I had a back procedure done yesterday, so I am recovering today. Still, I managed to clean a litter box and refill the water dispenser for the cats. I am taking it easy for the remainder of the day. I'm less sore. I hope tomorrow is even better. Wishing everyone a happy weekend!

Yesterday it became much relaxation, no walk, no shredder, but my office. I will take it easy this weekend, relax much and focus on faith.

I wish everyone of you a peaceful and relaxed weekend!

Got all three done yesterday. I spent about an hour on my workshop proposal and 30 minutes on my portfolio. I wonder how much capacity I have for these projects on any given day. I am inclined to take today off because I am upset about some health stuff but I guess spending the day in bed won't make that any better.

1. Go through GTD tasks.
2. Read a book
3. See if I can ride my husband's bike.

I have had a good weekend, but had to go to bed with a headache after Church-time today. The weekend is now soon over and new responsibilities and possibilities will come in this new week.

My plans for tomorrow:

- A fast walk outside.
- Fill dishwasher and put it to work.
- Buy some cheese, blueberries and a shredder.
- De-clutter my storage room.
- Office

May you all feel that what you are able to do is OK (either little or much)!

Tomorrow:
1. Zoom meeting
2. Handle brother’s business affairs
3. Float at pool
4. Visit brother
5. Clean 1 room
6. Grocery

I hope everyone has a peaceful Monday.

The dining room needs some more work but it's much better than it was. I also have a possible solution to leaving stuff on the couch. I did no writing work but I went on a hike.

1. Shop for a bike.
2. Library
3. Portfolio
4. Workshop

The headache has continued, so I have not done much today. I have ordered an appointment with an optician to see if everything is OK with my data- and reading glasses. I have to wait until Thursday. I have not been able to do much today, but I my new shredder is in house at last. On the way to buy the shredder I went into a restaurant for dinner. For now I will sit down and watch TV and hope my pain will not become worse.

Plans for tomorrow:

I will do no work at my office tomorrow. I will try to spare my eyes. I will try to do ordinary work in the home and rest if I have to.

Today's been hard. My back isn't better. The nurse said give it a week. I opened boxes today and went through my mail. That was all I could handle. I hope everyone is well.

1. Bike store.
2. Read novels

I got a cheap bike. Instead of reading novels, I read books about diabetes. I didn't do much else yesterday. I need to stop wallowing but am struggling to stop. Not sure if I should try to push through and work on heavy thinking tasks or not.

1. 60 minutes on one heavy thinking task.
2. Finish second book.
3. Bike ride

My back is still sore. I called the nurse. It could hurt for a few more days. It's worse today. I think I overdid it yesterday. I took out my trash and washed dishes. Today has been a lot of bending over too. I will rest for the remainder of the day. I am pretty tired. Pain wears me out. I hope all of you are well.
