April 6th 2021

So I have not recently

Checked in with a christmas

Through this year check in.

Currently:

The living room has 

3 fully decorated trees

-one of which is on a VERY

"Run-way like" corner

And the cats have managed to

Knock it over, while zooming,

About 10 times.

Also we will note

That a blue velvet tree skirt

Is a cat hair magnet

When they love laying on it.

Otherwise we are unscathed

In the living room.

The dining room has only 

1 full sized tree

And other than being in the way

Very occasionally,

And the angel falling off one day,

It is doing fine.

The kitchen tree 

Is screwed to the wall

So other than the kitties

Knocking a couple ornaments off

We are looking good there too.

The front porch tree

Has been slowly collecting

Odd holiday ornaments.

What I have been irritated by

Is random items!

The runner on the table,

The Christmas cookie jar,

The Santa on the freezer!

Otherwise

We are doing well.

Today was a kick in the pants day.

I spent the first week of march

Ecstatic about a "happiness" discovery

Then lost my momentum

Because I was ill, I was exhausted

And not to END a month without 

A bang - I bashed my head into the dresser.

I am still not driving

But feeling better.

I have moved my meds around a bit

And that has helped 

With the exhaustion.

I am determined to eat better.

I am determined to be 

More focused on the task

Than on the end result.

I need to enjoy more.

I need to find my joys again.

I managed to deal with

4 (four) loads of laundry today,

3 loads of dishes,

Pick ups, a 2pnt meeting,

The happiness project work,

Clean, straighten and organize

5 rooms today

Before I got a mild headache.

Stopped and sat down.

Today's recipe was caprese chicken.

Yum!!!

I did not think it would be

Anything special, but yummy!

We had picnic salads 

and fresh bread too

While we watched a comedy show.

A quick clean up

And straighten up,

I got my laundry put away

And then was in bed by 9:10pm.

I am going to start reading again,

Sorry archie and jughead

So I am setting up a new schedule

For my body to get used to.

I have 2 weeks of safety

Lock up to find myself

A new way of attacking life

With a sense of purpose and joy.

Today was a good start.

Good night from John Street
