MAKING PROGRESS

After 3 days of being sick I’m feeling like I will be able to attend granddaughter’s birthday party and enjoy family time with older son and DIL plus celebrate Hubby’s birthday this week. Have gotten a few things done. I can see that I forgot to focus on self care once again 🤔

CELEBRATE

* Waiting for her gift to arrive (fingers crossed) and still have some housework to be ready for guests - Enjoy celebrating our Granddaughter’s 8th birthday and the accompanying visit by our older son and DIL. 11/17 & 18

* He wants to go out to lunch by the water so we will - Celebrate Hubby’s 72nd birthday however he wants on 11/21

* Called my brother and SIL so far - Send cards or make calls for my cousin’s birthday and brother and SIL’s anniversary.

* Done: He had to head back early for business reasons but we saw him 3 times - Enjoy visits with my nephew who is in town for most of the month but lives in Taiwan.

* Planning to take a charcuterie board for appetizer - Thanksgiving with DIL’s family

LEARN & DO STUFF

* Completed first of 3 steps and got directions for other 2 - Sign up to change secondary health insurance to Kaiser for 2025 and beyond.

- Become comfortable with Google docs, sheets, drive and photos.

- Set up weekly exercise program and specific exercises targeted for my body.

- Farmer’s Market to get apples for eating and cooking.

* Signed up for it - Attend card making class 11/21 at rec center.

SELF CARE

- Practice a month of daily thankfulness.

- Buy cool weather clothing on my list.

- Art, music or nature outing.

- Find a colorful piece of art for bedroom - thrift store?

PREP FOR RAIN & COLD

* Done - Buy a better raincoat for the pup. His current one blows up in the wind and he gets wet as well as annoyed. This week I was able to buy myself rain pants so once he gets a better coat we are set.

* - Ready the house and yard.

* Done - wash patio furniture and store much of it in garage

X - touch up paint on metal patio furniture that stays outside (delaying until Spring)

* He didn’t show up for appointment so I am going to try to talk Hubby into doing it - hire a handyman to fix attic door so it closes tight and to hopefully replace the front door weatherstripping
