Let's get started.→[More:]Name for me two kind things that you are going to do for yourself and one kind thing you will do for someone else TODAY.
Today I am going to start the day with a morning walk (for my ass, myself, and my dog) - I don't know what other kind thing I'm going to do for myself. Haven't gotten that far into the day yet.
The kind thing that I'm going to do for someone else is that I'm going to clean my mom's house because she's having all kinds of neck problems right now and is having a bitch of a time doing anything right now.
I'm not working out today -- my body is screaming for respite and I think I'll listen for a change. Pushups, leg lifts, speedmarching and the weight room can wait.
For lunch I'm eating the grilled salmon at Firdous -- yummy!.
I'm getting briefed in later today on house- and dog-sitting for people I know -- I love them and their dog.
I am going to call a doctor about my shoulder. It's the kindest thing I can do for my body.
I need to get a new tire on my van. I guess that could be considered a good thing for myself and other people on the road.
I have an appointment with one of my son's teachers. So I am going to defend him. Funny thing, I hate speaking to teachers and such. I feel like I am in school again, and that I am being "bad".
Oh, and one more thing..my very fragile father-in-law is coming home today from Florida. Mr. V is picking him up. I plan on having a hot dinner waiting at his house when they come back.
1: Leave work on time for the first time in ages
2: Go to bed early as I am shattered
3: Plan stuff to do for others with part of my annual bonus that I'm getting at the end of the month.
Because of this thread, I am going to put on my tennies and tee shirt and ipod and take a walk this beautiful lunchtime instead of going to the gym tonight. This will also save gas, and cause me to eat grapefruit and oatmeal and peanuts for lunch. Then I'll go to the grocery tonight, and make sure to buy Diet Dr. Pepper and Cheddar cheese for the husband.
I am going to indulge my craving for mushrooms on a sandwich.
I am going to walk to the gym and get myself a membership.
I am going to make a big tater tot casserole so the BF has leftovers ready when he gets home. I'll also pick up some bottles of juice for him to take to work, since he's not feeling too good.
