Four things you will do this week to make life better... →[More:](Your life or someone else's life.)

1. Adopting new dog friend. Close up, not in focus picture of his leg boo-boo here. (Sorry for the huge files.) This will hopefully make the new dog's life easier and safer, make Lulu's (other dog) life more fun and doggy, and give me an additional dog to laugh at and with.

1b. New dog got adopted from a county shelter about two weeks ago. Less than a week later he was hit by a car and his new family signed him over to animal control. A private shelter stepped in so he wouldn't be euthanized. (He is about a year old.) The leg isn't broken but he will be on antibiotics for three weeks. Poor puppy.

2. I'll be cleaning my mom's house. (She has ongoing neck issues.)

3. Painting my mom's bathroom.

4. I'm not sure what #4 is yet. I have a week!

This weekend was long and tiring, due to all the Holy Week services. Beautiful, but left me totally drained.

1. Eat breakfast every day (starting the day with a high fiber cereal, like the current choice of Shredded Wheat squares, always gets the day started right)
2. Get to the the gym 3 times this week
3. Get a manicure (which will hopefully help solve dry, itchy hands)
4. Go to bed at a decent hour.

I am looking into getting a sidewalk SUV.
I am getting my music organized on one hard-drive.
I bought maple syrup to go on my oatmeal.
I bought some high-quality turkey ham, non-fat swiss cheese, low-carb rye bread and an imported french mustard -- that cost much as the meat, cheese and bread combined.

Oh my god that puppy is cute.

I think everything I will do to make things better is a suppression of things I could do to make things worse... yeah it's one of those periods in life.

1. Go to the gym today, Wednesday and Friday.
2. Stop eating chocolate. Well, I've eaten it all now, so perhaps this should be 'stop buying chocolate'.
3. Be focussed and productive at work. I have shedloads to do.
4. Try to remember to be kind to people, in whatever circumstances I encounter them.

1. Quitting my job. If not this week, the following week. I'm so excited about it. It's scary to quit my job with nothing lined up, but sooooo needed.
2. Getting a full night's sleep at least once this week.
3. Not going out to eat for lunch, salad and miso soup is just fine.
4. Starting to eat cereal for breakfast rather than a bagel.

Get taxes done, over with, goodbye and amen, for this year.
Probably interview for next job.
Follow up on an invite to a divorce support group at an area church.
Finally get, I hope, to talk to my 11-year-old son for the first time in a month and a half -- he's angry, bitter, sad, lonely, rebellious, and also his mom's, um, quite something.

1. Finish the baby blanket I'm knitting that I started when I found out my best friend was pregnant. (Now the baby's due next month).
2. Take my two boys to my aunt and uncle's farm. A little separation from their stepbrother is good for everyone.
3. Laugh more.
