    Where did the week go?

    I am finally better. This has been a boomerang bug where I kept thinking the worst was over, my temperature would drop back down, I would think I was better and then it came back. This time I am sure it has gone…

    So where am I?

    I am behind with EVERYTHING.

    The plan is to use this weekend to get on top of the house/prepping healthy food/food shopping/ looking less like a bag lady.

    Next week my focus will be the seriously behind project work :eek:

    Action list today:

    1 PP1 letter to be written and sent
    Eyebrows
    Meal plan for the week
    Dishes done to flylady shiny sink standard
    Kitchen cleaned
    Dining table cleared

    I could make this list longer, but I need to stay realistic.

    Wishing you all a lovely day

    Glad you're on the mend DIA - sounds like a nasty bug.

    Good idea to follow a list to get yourself back on track but remember you might still be weak so take it easy :)

    Hopefully you'll be on good form to crack on with your creative project next week. When is your deadline?

    Yesterday I didn’t complete my list, but I …

    Got food shopping done
    Cooked a healthy meal
    Cleared my dining table
    Washed dishes
    Sorted paper-work

    Today, I will carry on doing yesterday’s list. I would also like to go for a walk.

    I have visibly lost weight with this bout of illness and whilst I had the weight to lose I feel a bit weakened so I need to get active again.

    I am aiming to go to the recycling centre over the weekend to get rid of a chair and other big items. Getting rid of stuff always gives me a boost

    Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
