This has been a week of restless, interrupted sleep and much stress. Somehow, I sleep 3-4hrours, and up for 8hrs.. and sleep for 3-4hrs again. Or some such routine… which is causing me to pretty much always be tired… I also spent a couple days away from home… and stayed in a hotel. I won’t go into the why and what-about.. but trust me, it was not expected, and it was a very stressful 3 days. Rushing to the hotel, I did not pack well at all… so I basically spent a couple days with nothing to do and only a change of clothes and my phone with me… but I think in the whole scheme of things, it was good. And I am home now…. and have been trying to get a few things done.
Over last weekend, I made a bunch of holiday themed earrings (27 pair to be exact!), and for the past couple days they’ve been listed for sale on my Facebook business page. Today I wrapped up all the ones that sold, and they will be out in the mail tomorrow. Today I went grocery shopping for the first time in a long while (usually Jim and our son Michael go), and while I was very dismayed at how much was spent…. it was good. Once home, I was able to chop up alot of the fresh produce and freeze it for future use, and I made a ‘sort of menu’ for the coming week so I don’t have to really think about what we have and what to make. I also did laundry, wiped everything down (CoVid precautions), went thru a bunch of papers that have been gathering dust, and cut Jim’s hair. Getting there. Small steps. Yesterday I made 2 main dishes as ‘already done’ foods in the fridge. With my lupus, it pays to have things on hand that are ‘easy.’
Below is a collage of SOME of the earrings I made for the sale. And the bottom photo is a collage of the photos I’ve posted in my ongoing ‘snapshot for the day’… which are daily photos I share on Facebook. It occurred to me, that I have been essentially posting a photo a day… either on Facebook or my blog here… for 12 SOLID years. That alone is an accomplishment… hard to acknowledge, but on days when I am feeling like I don’t get much done, I need to remind myself.
