So, what can I say about this week - and last? I don't know. At least, they weren't as bad as the last one I wrote about. And in some ways, they were really good.
In terms of the goals...I have gotten off track on a lot of them. I am putting off the new recipes for awhile so I can save some money for the living room improvement project, so no progress on that one. In my last blog, I said that I would try to focus on my "laugh more, be angry less" goal. I think I might have been doing ok on this goal, except that last week at work, there were some developments that may affect me, quite negatively, at some point. I am really concerned about this, so it has added yet another dark cloud to the sky above me, and it was already pretty crowded with dark clouds this month.
I have tried to find things to laugh about in the last two weeks, and there have been some really good moments lately. In particular, this weekend, I went with a friend to a wedding. It felt really good to get dressed up and have somewhere to go and something to do. I had a lot of fun, I hope my friend did as well. I felt that we had some good conversation and there were definitely some moments of laughter.
There was progress on the living room and there will be a lot more progress next weekend. I got a lot of errands and chores done this weekend, some that have been put off for awhile. I ended up on budget with the shopping, even with the wedding gift. That, along with the wedding, it was a good weekend overall.
Other goals haven't been going as well. I didn't write last weekend, I don't foresee writing today either. I am still feeling uninspired, and don't really know where to go with the story at this point. I don't really foresee being able to write next weekend either, with all the work that will be done in the house. That will make it almost a month without writing, so I am definitely going off track with that one.
I have been walking the dogs according to the goal, but not as much as I was or as much as I want to. Now is a very bad time to be getting off track on this goal, since the dogs have to adjust to a new schedule. I can foresee walking less this upcoming week and next weekend, too,with next weekend full of work on the house.
I was doing better with soda intake, but went a little off course this weekend again, especially at the wedding. But with that one, I think I will be able to get back on course pretty quickly.
I think I did well this week at making conscious efforts do something to help someone in the last two weeks, but I also had an opportunity to be a good friend and listen to a friend who wanted to talk, and was not a good listener in this one case. I definitely need to make more of an effort to be a better listener, and remember that I am not the only person with problems or difficulties; other people have needs and I need to be aware and take these opportunities to reach out to those people when they need to talk.
Until next week.
