GEATITUDE: Removed our bedframe and it feels so much more spacious and I can actually put my feet on the floor while sitting in bed. Can’t wait to wake up in the morning and just stretch while still sitting over the edge in bed. Planted, weeded and more in the garden this afternoon with Juniper and Eric. Jasper came down even to sweep the deck for a short while. Glad I was able to start prepping the soil while it’s still wet from the last rain and before the rain comes again later this week. So many Swiss chard babies to transplant and even got the lettuce and leeks gathered together in their beds. Harvested the dandelion chicory seeds that has been long overdue…not sure they’ll sprout but will try. If they don’t work then I definitely need to head to the nursery and find it as that was definitely a staple of the last two years.
FOCUS: Go to bed early to ensure 8 hours before 5:30 wake up. I will start the week off strong and motivated. Tomorrow’s plan includes catching up all the way for my behind Japanese classes since another week’s worth of materials will be released tomorrow. Not doing so great with distractions like planning for Japan, doing taxes, thinking about what to purge in the kitchen/bookshelves but will try to get back on track tomorrow.
Dad is going to Iowa tomorrow night for a week. Make sure to get mom out during that time. It seemed like she needed some time to vent and express her emotions when I saw her yesterday.
INSPIRATION: Noting a book to read in the future- Never the Wind by Francesco Dimitri. Sounded like if one enjoyed Haruki Murakami then one might also like this.
