Waiting on the Storm

A good Friday morning to you all in the blogosphere!

It’s windy and warm already this morning. There are some big storms headed this way, so the weatherman says, and that would explain the warm weather. Honestly, I am not minding the temperatures these days one bit.

How has the week/year been going for everyone so far? It’s been going quite well for me and I’ve just finished a very laid back week of break, which I am kind of kicking myself for now. It started off with my guy out of town for a couple of days and the boy working his regular busy schedule so I had plenty of time to myself. What I did was binge watch the Property Brothers while getting an itch for redecorating my house. It was just an itch, nothing has been scratched, but I did find myself at Lowe’s early in the week to ‘window shop’ and I did spend a good amount of time on Wayfair.com looking for a new bathroom mirror. Now, my phone thinks I need everything as it keeps putting all the home decorating site ads in all my social media feeds. Thanks, now I really want to redo the house with all these daily deals I have showing up. 🙂

There was some reorganizing going on around here as well, but because of that I have lots of grading to do today, and all the laundry from the week. Plus a few errands to run. I’ve got a busy day ahead, but now where to start…

Besides that, I made it back to the gym for the year and had four awesome work outs. I even ‘ran’ a total of 7 miles this week. I gave myself a goal to do at least 6 on the treadmill, elliptical, or similar a week, and doing at least 2 miles at a time I hit my goal. I am very happy about that cause I don’t really like doing the machines, but I updated my Exercise Playlist and I was good to go. Also, I did deadlifts for the first time in months and can happily say that my tennis elbow is all better now. Finally!!! I am back at it full force again. Yay!

The only other thing about this week that stands out is that I got a couple new journals for the year. I was a bad journaler last year and only kept up with about half my year – that is very unlike me, but I will do better this year. I also got a different kind of journal that I had seen a few months back at Joann’s. I found it on Amazon and added it to my daily routine. It’s a five year question and answer journal with a daily prompt and space for five answers. You can see how your mind and thoughts change from year to year. A memory journal, kind of thing and I am digging it! Plus the cover is just so neat looking. It will definitely be a nice addition to the library shelves when I get done with it. Speaking of which, I should probably add the book shelf to the list of things to organize, dust, and go through. I have a nice collection of old receipts and outdated paperwork over there that has become a bit of an eyesore. I will get everything decluttered around here eventually!!!!
