Thanks for letting me join in! Updated my original post with progress so far. Having a master list for the week like this is helpful!

Got me in the right frame of mind - last night I set out things for this morning's breakfast - and when I woke up I MADE myself get up on time so that I could have time to cook up eggs - reheated last of bacon from Sunday's breakfast and all were happy!

I need to plan what I'm doing rest of the week for breakfasts though!

 

[MrsSoup]

Glad to see you jumping in AJ!

AJ, post away! Posting my weekly lists here in the midst of especially busy weeks has been helpful. I've seen a huge difference in myself and the rhythm of life since I started posting here in January. It's busy but less chaos and more peace, if that makes sense.

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

It's the little things that have made my life easier this year. Packing the dishwasher before going to bed, wiping down the vanity top after brushing my teeth things like that.
Sometimes the routine slips but for the most part things have been better this year.

My reading plan for September and October have been written out. I will definitely have time to read now since I received word this morning that I don't have a job. There was a hint that something might be happening a few weeks ago but now it is official.

I'll make lemonade out of lemons. I will use this opportunity to focus on getting the house cleaned, decluttered and organized more than ever. I'll also make sure that I get in time for additional self-care.

Mary, so sorry to hear this, what a shock. As you said though enough to keep you busy over the next few weeks.

 

[MrsSoup]

So sorry Mary!
