Do Good, Feel Good

Today...I am busy, lazy, good, bad, and rollin with it.

Last week was very busy for me, and this week will be busier. Yesterday it looked like a craft fair and a restaurant duked it out and then puked all over my dining room and kitchen. I think I got in bed last night just in time for my muscles to completely give out on me. Today, I have a lot of laundry to do, a bedromm to clean (not happening), the living room, dining room, and kitchen to clean. At least those rooms are done.

I've been doing so well on my 100 day challenge, and now this weekend I've really gone downhill. I'm not sure why - I honestly think I've exhausted myself to the point of not trying. BUT...I did still go to the gym though I didn't work as hard. Tomorrow I will be right back to working as hard as I was on day one! I'm looking forward to that.

JoEllen said to me one day "It's weird how when you do what you're supposed to be doing, things work out". It seemed obvious at the time, but really...it is weird. I've been reflecting on this a lot.

When you're doing something you're not supposed to do (not necessarily bad, but not in your favor), it seems as though every outside event becomes a consequence. You decide to splurge on something expensive that you know you shouldn't...and then a major expense is needed, you sluff off at work, and then get a giant project putting you more behind, you eat badly, and suddenly realize you can't afford new cloths (ahem okay that one was personal), you sit down to dink around on the computer and watch the Wild game instead of finishing the laundry, and the Red Wings score their third goal (okay that was personal too...).

Lately, I've been good...and good things are happening. I haven't been spending, haven't been eating bad, haven't really been drinking, haven't been staying up late, I've been putting more into my work, I've been helping out others, I've been HAPPY. And...suddenly I spot a cat on the internet, and now he's sleeping by me, I have good things going on at work, while the tunnel is still long for getting "comfortable" financially...I can at least see it, things are just kind of falling into place. I'll accept that. And aside from good new things, maybe this is due to the change of seasons, but I'm in appreciation of all the little things.
1. Old friends
2. New friends
3. Things that kids say.
4. Budha's sneezes.
5. My heatlth
6. Friends' and Familys' health.
7. Yogi's snuggles
8. Freedom to play sports, have dinners, and other after work activities
9. Marcus willing to go to the gym with me early in the morning. :)
10. Learning how to balance stresses, and pushing through the tough times.

So it's 6:00 and I'd like to start watching the Simpson's in 1 hour which means if I want to continue my lazy Sunday in 1 hour, I better go spend the next hour actually doing something. Booo.

Sucked into iCarly, 54 minutes to be productive. Here's to a more disciplined week ahead. :)
