Holar 😁.
So… it’s been a good day, overall. Lots of good things, and a few not-so-good things. My alarm went off at 4:55, as is the new normal here at Haven Hill, and… I did not want to get up. I got to bed later than I should have last night, and when that alarm went off, I was like… ugh. Also, the shake I had for dinner last night just… stayed in my stomach all night, or something like that. Not so nice. But guess what?
I got up anyways!!! 🥳🥳🥳
A little servicising via more trench digging. I actually need to talk to my mother again to double check where she wants the water line going. I’m thinking to the front entrance, so it’s easy to remember to turn off as you leave the garden, but there might be a more strategic place. Part of me wants to say that she wanted to have it come to the middle box? I don’t remember. Need to figure that out probably before I dig any more, as I’ve already started curving the trench a good bit. 🙃
Let’s see, more 5×5 weeding, followed by a lovely cold shower. Then prayer, then working on one of the meditations I’m writing, and then memorizing! I realized at some point during my study time this morning that I can walk while doing my memorizations, so it’s gonna be a lot easier to get my 10,000 step goal in each day!!! Plus… I can eat down the old food storage faster if I’m burning more calories (me and my goals… 🙃).
Made some progress on hymn memorization, on scriptures, and also on the 6th Lecture on faith. I used to have that memorized, and I’m working to get it back now. Making progress. Being really blessed to have things coming back so quickly. 😊 I feel like my mind is starting to sharpen. It’s really neat to see happen. I’m catching little things that I haven’t caught for a long time. Remembering things, just little things, that save me time. It’s been so long since I’ve had a mind like this. I hope it keeps coming back.
More 5×5 stuff, progress in the basement, the garage, electronic email clutter. Forgot to do my room 5×5. I forget that one a lot, actually–probably because I used to do it first thing in the morning, and now I have it as last, so… not quite used to the new routine there. I might change it make sure I don’t forget it. That’s one of the 5x5s that’s in greatest need! 🙃
Anyway, I didn’t get anything written in my book today because people were calling, and there were jobs that needed to happen in Bella Vista, and since I don’t like sending David to Bella Vista, and since I haven’t worked much this week anyway, I decided to make today a work day, and I ended up doing five fairly simple jobs. It as nice! From Bella Vista to Springdale, and home.
Good stuff.
So… I’m here. I didn’t take care of my body well today. I was just… lazy actually, and I’m paying for it. One of those days where I know I should be doing some things and I’m not doing them. I’m over the edge right now with my body. Not sure I’ve done enough to get that fixed at this point. Cross your fingers. I ended up actually eating that last can of spaghetti and meatballs that was still in my car because I hadn’t had anything else but yogurt and mango chunks for breakfast (finished the yogurt. Only have butter left for dairy, I think).
So… I have a pre migraine right now. Hoping it doesn’t go full blown.
My eyes are getting that tired gritty feeling. I’m ready for bed. Late again. 9:12. There was something else I wanted to write.
Oh, yeah, also a bit of regression on the texting and driving today. Did that a little bit. Shear laziness “couldn’t be bothered” type of thing.
Not good to be in that mode, even for a moment, when I know I should be doing something and am not doing it, or not doing something and am doing it. Gotta nip that in the bud yesterday before it turns up as a porn relapse.
It will if I don’t fix it ASAP.
#1. I’m grateful for a relatively easy five cars. That was nice.
#2. I’m grateful that we’re busy again. The schedule is pretty packed full right now, through Saturday as well.
#3. I’m grateful that I’m not full-blown migraining.
#4. I’m grateful that, overall, my self discipline has improved significantly.
#5. I’m grateful that it’s time to go to sleep. I think that always pops up in my brain for #5. 😁 I just don’t write it when I think about it because it would be every day. 🙃
Loves and hugs.
Bring it on.
Lift the world.
