Well, it’s Saturday morning and my pets are all fed / medicated and I’m chilling with a latte and the Carolina wren who shares the property with us is singing his little lungs out. Not bad! I hope all your neighbouring birds are singing too.   Yesterday went from heavy rain in the morning to suddenly clear and fluffy white clouds in a bright blue sky in the afternoon. I took it as a sign and put the paper away & went for a little walk (which turned into a longer walk as i got messaged from our neighbourhood buy nothing group that i could pick up a shiatsu massager, but it was on the very far side of our neighbourhood!) Food was pretty good yesterday, for the first time in a long time tracked everything and did some cooking. A little progress integrating the new stats into the paper but not quite submittable yet. On the inflow side of work, got TWO new editorial assignments, bleh. As planned, i didn’t do anything to address them yesterday, but they’ll be there waiting on Monday for sure along with all the other stuff.   So yesterday’s list was just focused on a few things, and the to-do list was very terse and all broad strokes - I kind of liked the focusy part (most days my energy is drawn to a million different trivial tasks) but not the broad strokes aspect of the list… I like identifying and knocking off all the baby steps much better! The more you know…   today’s list is not yet finalized, but will include some Grease review, the usual dogwalks, a walk to the farmer’s market ISO rhubarb, maybe another walk with youngest dog to her favourite play park if we get back in time, some lifting (as yet unknown whether I’ll ride bike to campus or if i can macgyver something here using the weights i have at home), one pomodoro of paper revision just to keep things greased and groovy, one pomodoro of dissertation review for an exam coming up early next week, and fixing dinner for me and kid 1. Maybe a bath too if I get all that other stuff done!   Hubs comes home today, bringing kid 2 home from university for the summer!! Happy dance!!!

ME TOO! Even if it's a really pleasant time, my ears will literally hurt if I listen to people talking for long periods of time. Most of the time when I have my ear buds in, I'm not listening to anything, it's just muffling out the noise. I live with a blind person so the talking is constant. If someone isn't talking or describing something, then music is playing or podcasts/radioshows/audiobooks/etc. my ears literally hurt.  I have no solutions, I just wanted to say "omg, me too, it's so nice not to be alone!"

Yesterday I went to my other grandma and her friend was there and OMG she can talk. I had to listen to non-stop jabbering for two hours and it wrecked me. Uggh. Afterwards I rested "with just one puzzle" and ruined the rest of the day. How many times will it take to learn this lesson?      To make it worse my grandma kept talking and singing to herself aaaalll frickin' day, driving me up the wall. I don't really want to blast my headphones all day long but seems like it's the only option. It's just impossibly hard to focus and start anything otherwise. All I'm doing is waiting for her to finally go to bed, but by that point I've run out of brain juice myself. Leaving the house helps too but I don't always feel like it and there's a time limit on how long I can sit like a normal person anyway.   Today's plan?    - Hopefully finish my bike, if above mentioned grandma's friend has a large enough spanner. - Gym. I'm still a bit sore and don't feel like it, but getting out of the house is necessary even if it's gross and raining. - Get back on art train. I miss it. - Order pole heels

Hmm accident or marketing tactic?    Entirely unbiased I'm sure 😛 😄

Enjoy!    It should be the same everywhere within the EU.

Do you know if there's a risk of down regulating your metabolism/NEAT etc if you go too slow?   I see no problem with this! As long as it's realistic and healthy there's nothing wrong with caring about your appearance. It's really not that much different than changing a haircut, or taking care of your skin. And the immediate, tangible reward is always going to be more motivating than the abstract uncertain reward that you can't control. In my opinion it's just smart to acknowledge the main motivator. 

Turnip Boy answers to no one.     Good idea, but I don't think there's enough airflow. Also I don't have a fan.  The sensible thing would be to wear a mask but when I'm in cleaning mode it turns into a full-blown workout and I don't want to deal with the breathing and it getting in the way. I'll just suffer and try and keep the sessions short.

The drama!    What's "reversal of desire" in the mental formae section?
