... how easy these lists would roll once one starts to pick up momentum?
I imagine there will be mornings when I'm just not up for it. In fact, it's such nice sleep-weather this morning: the perfect temperature, not too much natural light in the room — I got ready for work and seriously considered just going back to bed till it was time to leave.
I figured, yes, I did want to try to do a wake-up happy-things list, but maybe I could do one in my head and write it down later.
Then I remembered that the office web filters would probably make it impossible for me to try to earn my daily nickel at Adbux and Got-2-Pay, so I sat down at the computer to look at the ads like a good scout.
After that, I went and clicked all the free charity links, because I am still Teh Broke.
Once that was done, I decided, as long as I'm here, might as well do my shining happy people list too.
- I'm achy as hell but I can still walk. I really don't want to get to a point where I have to be pushed. That will suck. I'm not there yet. No suck.
- My husband, who won't eat healthfully if it's my idea but will if he thinks it's his idea, bought a lot of lovely salad greens the other day, so yes, he's very smart, and yay, I get good salad.
- Last night I was more in the mood for crap, because, as I mentioned, I'm in the beginning stages of my Delightful Few Days, and we went to Five Guys.
- Again, had this been my idea, it would have been shot down. Mr. I Want to Eat Healthier suggested it, and I "meekly complied," which suited his Control Freak nature and my craving for french fries.
- We had an awesome, albeit short, thunderstorm last night.
- I got a lot accomplished at work yesterday.
- With only one exception (which had no urgent deadline and I purposely left for today, so that I would feel less rushed working on it), anything that didn't get accomplished got held up not because of me, but because of someone else.
- Without exception, the things that got held up because of someone else are all documented such that another party is witness to the reasons behind the delays.
- I looked at the calendar and I think I might take July 3rd off, so I can have two days off for the 4th of July. Also, usually our town does fireworks on the 3rd (though last year, they did them in June. No one's really sure why). Anyway, another vacation day will be nice, and I won't be stuck in the office waiting for a ride home if they dismiss everyone early, as they often do the day before a holiday.
- I always feel like I did a very smart thing by drinking all of my daily allotment of water. I do it so often I ought to stop looking at it as a big deal, but shit, I'm proud of myself. I drank my eight glasses yesterday and I rock.
- And I'm going to do it again today.
- Tonight is Taco Tuesday. He will not eat healthfully (meat and cheese and soft flour tacos), but I will make a taco salad with salsa and some of those nice greens (and yes, meat and cheese; I'm not immune), and avocado. Maybe beans, if I have some. He did the shopping, as we recall.
- If I skip my pain meds, I will also have beer. That remains to be seen. Either way — if I get to have beer, that's a positive thing, and if I have pain and can take a pain pill for it, that's also a positive thing.
- I think this blog might be getting enough substance in it to where I could, conceivably, start pimping it out for some professionally sponsored writing, and make some money. I will feel like so much less of a drain when I can put a little back where it belongs.
