    JFT Wednesday
    - weigh 😀
    - Work by 8:00 😞
    - Work on documents 😀
    - Work on complaint 😀
    - Take mom to doctor
    - Return watch
    - Grocery
    - Dinner
    - Need by 10:30

    Have a happy hump day!

    My why: To make my girls proud of me!

    Yesterday was a bit taxing taking mom for her dementia evaluation. Doc talked to her for 30 min, talked to me for 30 min, then did her testing which took another 45 minutes. She was very anxious by the time we left, which meant she was very repetitive. She just kept asking how long we were there an commenting on how long it seemed.

    Other than that the day was uneventful, I ran some errands and told my husband I spent $200 on a new dress watch. It was 60% off, so originally it was a %500 watch. I'm calling it a good deal and it's beautiful and delicate. Many of the watches these days, even the nice ones, are just so big. I like to wear bracelets with them so I need smaller. That and I have tiny hands and wrists.

    Today, I got up and went to work, just to turn around and come home. They are working above my office again, so I am working from home. Later this evening V is doing her first session of senior pictures. I really excited to see what Steve comes up with for locations. His first picks were booked, but hopefully he has a back up plan. She is technically home sick again today, but seems to be starting to feel a bit better. This is day 4 out of school. She's still in be this morning, but she was up coughing since about 4:00 this morning. Took her meds around 6:30, now she is sleeping peacefully.

    Goals for today:
    JFT Thursday
    - Up by 7:00 :smiley:
    - Weigh :smiley: Weight was up a tick, but it's TOM damn female bloating
    - Work by 8:00 :smiley:
    - Document management
    - Do mom's bills :smiley:
    - Call Mom's financial consultant :smiley:
    - Laundry
    - Mini meals
    - Log food
    - Stay green
    - Drink water
    - Senior pictures
    - Dinner out most likely
    - Bed by 10:30

    "Why" for the day is the same as yesterday: To make my girls proud of me.

    "Why" for the day is the same as yesterday: To make my girls proud of me.

    Yesterday was a good day. I showed up to work and was sent home to work, so I got tons of laundry done during the day and got to watch The Price is Right. That's a big deal, lol.

    In the evening we went and did V's first session of senior photos. It went really well. I really like the photographer I hired. He isn't real well known around here for senior pics, he does more television and professional shots, but I know him from riding bikes and he's great to work with. He got some really amazing shots last night that I hope turn out as neat as they looked. I couldn't get over just how grown up my baby girl looked. Boy she is a beautiful young lady with her own unique style.

    After photos we went out to dinner and then she introduced my to a new album she got by Black Pink, a K-pop band. I surprisingly really liked it, and it's fun just hanging out with my baby girl.

    Today is a half day at work. Take V's new shoes to the shoe repair place, the strap broke last night. She was totally bummed those are what she wants to wear to homecoming next weekend. Hopefully the shoe place can get them fixed in time...

    Then I'll shower and get ready and Tim and I will head out of town for the reunion weekend. Jeans and sweater for the game tonight and my fancy dress for tomorrow night. It makes me feel so pretty...

    Anyway, time for goals

    JFT Friday!!!

    - Stay up as late as I want, cause I can sleep in tomorrow.

    "Why" for the day is the same as yesterday: To make my girls proud of me.

    Love y'all!

    Yesterday's plan was upended by additional errands and my daughter coming over to do some paperwork, but I did get the muffins done in time for her to take them home for the kids. Todays plans are similarly loose, but I'm hoping to get out for a walk at some point.
