MONDAY:
monday be monday-ing.
the work day was not too bad.
tell me why i sent out the invite for june's second birthday party when she is still JUST A BABY?! π
i got a weird text from someone after dinner + it just made the rest of the evening kinda sour. we tried to make the best of it, but sometimes you just need to go to bed + let it go.
TUESDAY:
a fairly lowkey work day + evening at home. my SIL + BIL came over for a bit to hang out and talk. my BIL got our fireplace working, so that is an exciting thing to look forward to this winter!
i had some difficult moments today, regarding church + all we have went through the last eight months. i still have a lot of anger + have to choose forgiveness daily. some things feel so unfair, but i just keep trusting in the Lord.
WEDNESDAY:
i have officially lost 13 pounds! that was a great way to start my day.
it was an easy breezy work day from home.
i posted my september recap on the blog. i also finished hayden panettiere's memoir. it was very sad to read the last chapter about her brother, knowing that same manner of death would also be her own this summer. π₯Ί
grocery shopping was on the agenda after i clocked out of work. we went to costco for a few things, ate dinner at sonic + stopped by trader joe's for their homestyle chicken salad + their new fall mini tote. we finished our grocery shopping at aldi. by the time we got home, it was basically time for bed.
as soon as i hopped in bed, i checked to see where my step count was. i made a little goal for myself to try to place in the top 10 of a competition on our work wellness app. i was 800 steps away from being #10, so i got out of bed + got in more steps to get back to the #10 spot!
spoiler alert: i woke up the next morning to see i finished #11. π
it's okay. i am proud of myself for sticking to this active lifestyle change jared + i have made!
THURSDAY:
the first of the month means a busy work day! october greeted us with a dreary, rainy day, which i LOVED. i was freezing all day, because the A/C at work is still set for those 100ΒΊ days, but i still enjoyed watching the rain from my cubicle.
i spent the evening folding laundry that had been sitting in the basket for too long. i noticed my throat was a little scratchy, but figured it was because of the weather change.
jared + i had a really good conversation about all our church hurt + friendships + what the future looks like for us as a family. just because we were deeply wounded by people in the church doesn't mean we have turned our backs on The Church. this season of our life has often felt isolating + unfair, but we have never once felt neglected by the Lord. He has been near to our broken hearts, and we know He has good plans for us.
FRIDAY:
yeeeeeah, that sore throat was not from the weather; i woke up with congestion and a sore throat. i progressively felt worse throughout the day. i couldn't even take my normal lunch break walk, instead opting for resting in bed.
thankfully it was a WFH day. i took meds + felt okay the rest of the evening. jared was working on a yard project, so june + i hung out in the basement.
SATURDAY:
i didn't even clock 2k steps for the day. after a restless night of sleep thanks to mucinex, i woke up around 8.(sidenote: it was 52ΒΊ this morning!!) jared needed to finish his yard project (he has become that dad who is obsessed with his lawn π), so june + i hung out downstairs. i sipped my coffee + browsed social media + read on my kindle for most of the morning.
as i enjoyed buffalo chicken dip + ranch crackers for lunch, i had the pleasure of watching june eat yogurt with a spoon for about 15 minutes. she was covered in it, but she is getting better with using a spoon.
she went down for her nap + i finished reading exit party, which i gave a solid 4 stars. i rested in bed with football on the tv.
jersey mike's was my choice for dinner, since i was sick. jared took the kids to his parents' house so he could go fishing with his dad + i spent the evening on the couch, watching even more football, journaling, writing, + sipping coffee.
SUNDAY:
no church for us, since i still woke up not feeling well.
we hung out + sipped coffee for awhile. my meds kicked in, so i started the crockpot meal that was planned for dinner— mexican street corn soup.
the afternoon was spent watching football + reading a book on my kindle.
dinner was good! i always get a little nervous with a new recipe be because what if it’s bad??? π
we watched the chiefs game + drank coffee + had a chill evening (well— after the chiefs game, it was chill. the game was anything but that!)
