Day 4-Slow Moving

I know, it's only 10:30 am, but I am getting a very slow start today. Even when I am working, Thursdays are always very tough. It's tough to get out of bed. I don't know if it's just because the week is almost over, and I am just ready for the weekend or what. But I am tired, I hurt and basically don't want to do anything.

Which brings me to my goal of having a weekday list of to-dos. Right now, I just have a list of to-dos, but no set days or times. I just told myself I would need to mark off at least one item each day. Yesterday was pretty successful, and the to-dos for today will be to 1. go to the transfer station and 2. wash my car. I don't want to go too crazy each day, because the following days end up being long recoveries for me. I like to blame it on my self-diagnosed arthritis. But I have no idea why I don't have a whole lot of stamina. Just my natural sluggishness, I guess.

Sadly, I am still recovering from Monday's Zumba class. I knew that would probably be the case. I have to warm up to doing that much activity. And I went ahead and did the entire hour. As a result, I did not go to the gym yesterday like I had hoped. I will go to the 4:30 pm Yoga class. I just have to set an alarm to remind me, since I often get distracted and lose track of time when I am at home.

Another goal I have is to learn Wordpress while I have the free time. I will be more marketable in my field I have some more web design experience under my belt. A majority of the jobs require it now, so I need to get that skill sooner rather than later. My current website has the option of editing it in Wordpress, so I log into it to see if I can feel my way around. And this morning, I signed up for free online training at www.wpbeginner.com.

A day of enjoyment before going back to work

I decided I should do some fun things today, since it is my last day of not working full-time. I enjoyed a pedicure, which was very nicely done. I prefer going to a hair salon to get my nails done, but most of them were closed today. So, I ended up at a nail salon. I always worry about the cleanliness of those salons, but I went anyways. Afterwards, I went to Goodwill and found a few more things that I can wear to work. Since the boss seems to be concerned about her employees dressing 'too casual,' I decided I should invest in a few dressier looking outfits, because I totally was super relaxed at Tackle Marketing. I was wearing flip flops, t-shirts and capris a lot during the Summer. I found a couple of really adorable dresses. One is a bit snug, so I will have to spend some time trying to slim down for it to be comfortable. But I am very pleased with my purchases. Of course, I had to take Lucky for one more long drive since he really cannot walk that much anymore without l...

Day 15 - Time to Learn!

Image
But first, I did some SPRING CLEANING! I was drinking my morning tea in bed, looking at how unorganized my closets were in the bedroom. Staring at the piles of sheets thrown into the top of my closet shelf made me feel uneasy. So, since I had no set plans for this morning, I just started organizing. There are many pins out there stating you should "use your pillow cases to keep your sheets neat and orderly". Of course, I don't even want to bother with learning how 'easy' it is to fold fitted sheets. That might be the case if you are patient, which I am not. So, I stuffed my sheets in various pillow cases. Then, I decided I would utilize the shelves where I have millions of Steve's hats sitting that never get worn, and a few pairs of shoes. The shelves will be a lot more user friendly, and the sheets will be much easier to access. For now, I can place all my boots up top since I won't be wearing those again until winter. What Pinterest says your shee...

Day 18 - First Unemployment Paycheck!

Image
It was nice to see that I received my first unemployment check deposit yesterday. I was certain I probably missed the deadline to post my jobs search information after I went to the meeting last Friday, but luckily I made it! Yay! I went to the farm, which was pretty cool. Michelle was very busy, which was to be expected. It was fun to take see what goes into having a pasta sauce and pasta company. Too much work for me, personally! I don't think I would want all that responsibility. I also stopped by a cemetery on the way back home. It was pretty cool. The old cemeteries don't fascinate me as much as they used to, but I do enjoy walking around for a few minutes.  The rest of the day, I took a couple of walks and read my book. I also applied for about 4 other jobs.
