I hear the most interesting excuses why someone's child isn't at school: It's his birthday so we're playing hooky. I brought his sisters but didn't realize he wasn't in the car until we got here, so I'll just let him stay home. We're going to (nearest large town an hour away) to go grocery shopping. My child has a dentist/doctor appointment (10 minutes away from school, and it takes ALL DAY???) We're going on a trip (even though you just had two weeks off...). It's snowing/raining/too hot. I don't want them to ride in the school vehicle with X, because X is sick and the last time they rode with X, my child was sick for a week. My alarm didn't go off. I needed air in my tire. We were up really late last night and we're tired. There's school today?? :cantcope:

It's been challenging to exercise this week. Yesterday after work I went to civilization for groceries (we call it 'big shopping' up here cuz it's an hour's drive each way and takes all day). So I went 'big shopping' and did a few errands. By the time I got home and put everything away I was beat. I just haven't had the energy lately that I used to. Anyway I had hummus+carrots+pita chips for supper and fell asleep watching Deadliest Catch. Now I'll have to figure out where I left off. :zzz:

I did get my medical test results back yesterday. Let's just say there will be more testing and waiting and probably treatments/procedures down the line. I haven't told anyone else yet (except you Bees) until I know more but from what I understand the prognosis is usually good. I am a very private person by nature and introverted. So I'll continue to stuff everything-which is unhealthy I know-until I have to share the news; however I'm very grateful that I can share this in the Hive. Prayers & positive vibes are appreciated.

Work was very busy and everyone was tired. Thank goodness for a 3 day weekend! woo hoo!

@CODawn @MadamMeow Going to Iceland has been on my bucket list for a very long time. I did a lot of traveling when I was younger and without family responsibilities. Now I shoot for a big trip every other year if I can.

:crawl:Today I did not want to do anything. But I did. I did not want to get out of bed. I did not want to attend a meeting. I did not want to finish laundry. I did not want to exercise. But I did. For me there's a fine line between listening to my body and pushing to get all my tasks done. I always have more to do than is possible on every given day. But I have been challenged to ask myself, "What does my best look like today?", and being content with not checking off all those tasks on my list.

Now I am going to make some lentil & potato soup for dinner. I do not want to, but I know I will be glad I did. Have a nice evening bees! :foodie:

Sunday's lentil soup was extremely good! I will definitely make it again but for now there are LOTS of leftovers. I don't mind leftovers. I usually take them to work for lunch the next day...and the next day...and the next day...you get the idea.

Monday was a holiday here in the US and a beautiful but cold sunny day so my workout was doing yardwork. Like I-should-have-taken-care-of-this-two-months-ago yardwork. Raking frozen leaves over frozen ground was challenging but it felt good to be outdoors and my yard looks much better. :cape:
