And it is Monday!

 

Here I am and it is Monday again.  I am glad I have lived to see another one!  I'm working a slightly later shift today, so I did sleep in some this morning.  I didn't stay up too late last night and managed to get around 8 hours of sleep which is good for me!  Now I am having my coffee, enjoying an episode of Behind the Curtain, a theatre podcast, and getting ready to start my day.

I am looking forward to this week.  There isn't anything in particular planned, but I am still looking forward to it. I had a really nice weekend. I managed to get things done and not be overwhelmed.  I wrote yet another paper, did laundry, cleaned, polished silver, etc. Typical weekend chores.  But I paced myself a little differently. I would sit down and write for a while then get up and do something and so on and so on. That way I did not get myself stressed over my assignments. 

My hope is to carry that feeling of accomplishment into my week. I want to be productive. I want to start finding that balance in my life that has been missing.  I talked about this in one of my group discussions for class. In order for me to have a good life balance, I need to incorporate a few more things to level the playing field. Being social is one of them.  Not that I want to go out every night, but it would be nice to get out of the house and spend some time with someone. Or even have someone come over and hang out.  Motivation to continue cleaning!!  Thank God for Lois, my next-door neighbor and one of my best friends. We get together every Sunday afternoon to visit and catch up with each other.  It's nice to have that each week and I would like more of that sort of thing.

We'll see how it goes.  In the meantime, I'm going to finish my coffee and enjoy listening to some theatre talk. That is all.
