My Chaotic Realm

I am at work all day tomorrow and Sunday is also busy so let me go ahead and do my Monthly Accountability post now. Same MONTHLY GOALS: make a booklet or journal. 3 workouts/wk. ATC Challenge. Mission Inspiration journal challenge. Birthday card group. Blog once weekly. Start on one of the windows I reclaimed and turn it into something artistic. TieDye some scrubs. The Results are in.... 3 outta 5 done I made several small journals and took them as demos to Art Night. I DID NOT work out at least 3 times every week bc of work schedule and some health issues. I DID complete April's ATC Challenge. I DID complete April's Mission Inspiration Challenge (today, LOL) I DID make birthday cards for those that were due. I DID NOT blog all 4 weeks of April (this will be my 3rd post this month, not 4th...sigh) What ELSE did April include? Besides working 4 days a week instead of 3? I got to see an Opera (was a bucket list item)...Faust. WONDERFUL!! Loved It!! Playing in my pl...

So, a day short of 2 weeks in between posts... darn it! Last week was rough...worked 5 out of 6 days in a profession where you SHOULD work ONLY 3 days a week. Not an excuse...well, ok...realy it is one. So there. Just gonna own up to it.. I was flipping exhausted! Since I posted last I've had to revamp the rest of February's teammate schedule bc we are now short 2 techs (Yes! 2!) and write the March schedule. Managed a full moon firepit celebration, complete with libations, on the 11th. The 12th of February saw us bringing home the newest member of our flock... an ALiner popup camper! Laureli has spent her time as of late renovating it... camping is going to be so freaking cool this summer!! It even got new weatherstripping yesterday while I mowed the lawn. First mow of the season.. maybe winter is about over? The 13th saw me starting a "Clean Eating" challenge that lasted 5 days.. I made it!! Helped that I worked 4 of the 5 days the challenge lasted bc (as you know...

THIS song has been in my head for last several days... wow...1984? So... off the rest of this week...about freakin' time. Working 9 weekends in a row was getting really old.... today I have gotten glasses fixed, mowed front & back yard, recovered from mild heat stroke, joined a gym, dealt with 401k & stock plans for work... have not gotten around to lunch yet so that is nxt on my list. Had protein shake for breakfast so getting kinda hungry. Tomorrow is appt with Todd from Window King, art tutorial created for Friday's class, making June birthday cards & a father's day card, pen pal letters written, oil change...and on & on. My Friday is filled already, as is Saturday, with FUN non-work related events!

Got my car into the shop for new tires this morning so I am in captivity at home today until it is ready. Got back to the house by 8:30am and I have already finished mowing the back yard (Laureli got most of it yesterday), cooked lunches and dinners for Tuesday and Wednesday (I work) then got dinner ready for tonight, all the dishes are washed...feeling pretty good!! So now heading to art table and going to get caught up on 3 different ATC swaps , make a couple of birthday cards and then I am ALL CAUGHT UP!! OMG!! Observed the new moon on the beach Saturday... spent great day with good people yesterday, and today is recharge and get ready for four day week at work. I got this!! And, I will leave you with a picture I took while on vacation... enjoy
