Successes 2023
- Thread starter missjane
- Start date
I have managed to get my work out done every day this year. Granted we are only 15 days into the new year lol.
I will make chicken pot pie tonight!. It will use up some chicken (leftover from soup that I found in the freezer), a bit of mixed veggies, mushrooms and a crust I have.
Jane- My brother and sil go to soooo many concerts.
He packs a picnic meal to have before the concert. He has taught me a lot about bringing something as opposed to going out.
When we went to Earth, Wind and Fire last year, he brought a plug-in skillet and in their hotel room, we made quesadillas with all the toppings before we went to the concert.
In a lot of ways it's more enjoyable and less stressful.
My success- My SIL unexpectedly texted that she was in town and wanted to come over.
I was in a training but offered to meet her somewhere after the training was over.
I was proud because my usual reaction would be to turn myself into a knot, making sure the house was ready and even run by the grocery store to get food for a meal. Even though I was given no prior notice.

Totally agree Annie.
Thanks Miss Jane for starting us on this.
And
YOU LADIES ROCK!!!!!
Took a day to take care of me. I pushed myself through, staying at work all day, every day this week even though I didn't feel like it. At least three days, I felt so bad, I wanted to come home at lunch. I paid for it in exhaustion.
Annie, we went on vacation one time, and I precooked several things or took things I could cook on a plug-in griddle or in the microwave. It was a fun time! I can certainly do it, it's just a matter of getting my mind wrapped around it! I think it's that we've become so accustomed to the ease of eating out when time is short - a mental adjustment more than anything else. hmph! lol

We used to do that when all our children were still living at home. I would make, either, cornbread or biscuits and, sometimes, rice or mashed potatoes to stretch things far enough to feed us all.

DH and I got online cellular service added to our Ipads today so we can go on line wherever there is Verizon!
2023-01-19 - 2 walks around the block, watched 1 ayurveda video, printed out fodmap questionnaires to fill for class, watched 10 min vacationer's spanish video, and one organizing video... working towards goals
I got the armoire cleaned out, the items packed away for the yard sale and the gift wrap container done today! YAY!
I am so so proud that when my new Director sent an email that upset me and I didn't know how to respond, I picked up the phone and called her.
I tend to not know how to deal with situations like that and I let them fester.
I didn't want that hanging over my head all weekend so I dealt with it head on.

2023-01-23 - 30 min. walk, FINALLY called cable company... should be down 24$ a month starting next month.
Another one with New Director- (As you can tell, this has been a huge upheaval in my work life)
She put me on a weekly meeting that is Way out of my wheel house. Asking questions, assigning tasks that I have no experience or knowledge in.
She often directs questions to me in the meeting and I stammer with an answer because I do not know this information at all.
Insert deer in headlights look!
I came up with the brilliant idea for us to meet prior to the meeting to make sure any lingering questions were addressed
before meeting with the whole group. Worked like a charm!

I did not let my anxiety get to me this week. At the judges workshop I was feeling a little out of my depth but then remembered it was training and that is what I was there for.
I finished my chemo and radiation treatments on Monday. I did have to go to the hospital for a procedure on Tuesday, but today is Wednesday and my success was not having to go anywhere this morning and going back to bed when I felt like sleeping.
