Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week? Where did the year go? What are you doing this week as we get ready
to roll into the holiday season? Here’s
what I’m up to this week.
Currently….
Android v Mac Tech-challenged. Trying to figure out how to get the 2000
pictures off of my Android phone onto my Mac computer. My husband said “all you gotta do…” Always be careful with any instructions that
begin with this phrase. It’s a signal
that the things is not going to be simple, at all.
Catching up from last week.
You know how it is when you take a few days out of your normal routine –
whether it’s for vacation, or you get sick, or you have to travel for
work. When you get back to your normal,
there’s all the stuff you’ve got to do that should’ve been done while you were
out of your normal spot. I spent Monday
through Friday at the school bookfair last week, so now I’m catching up at
home. Laundry, groceries, housekeeping.
Writing. Are there things that we
can just say, “forget it, it’s not getting done”? (By the way - I've listed a few diverse picks from the bookshelves in this post from last week - Diverse Books form the Bookfair.)
Getting ready for this week.
And despite trying to catch up from yesterday, today is still here and
tomorrow is still coming. I’m working on
my menu plan (which helps a little bit with that daily panic of what’s for
breakfast, lunch and dinner), related grocery list, and everything else to do
list.
Thinking about Sunday’s message at church, or at least the
line that I lifted out of it: To be a bridge for the hopeless, you must be
ready to be trampled upon. Still
thinking on it, let’s talk about it more tomorrow.
Exercising again. I don’t really have to go into the got off
track, gained a few pounds, blah blah blah explanation, right? So now, especially before the dessert-rich
holiday season really kicks in, I’m trying to do better. On my shopping list is one of those holders
for the treadmill so I can read read on my iPad while I’m doing my walking
warm-up. I can scan email, Facebook and
Twitter, flip through a few articles in those ten minutes. I’m not much for exercise multi-tasking (why
I love swimming) but this little bit makes me feel productive until I turn up
the speed and start running. Do you go
into any kind of pre-holiday diet or exercise routine?
And I’m writing.
Working on novel number two and a few blog posts. Coming up soon are posts about #GivingTuesday
and service and a review of Watching Seeds Grow for kid entrepreneurs in observance of
National Entrepreneurship Week.
Have a great week!
