    - Trivia :smiley:
    - Home by 10:00 :smiley:
    - Shower :(
    - Bed by 11:00 :smiley:

    Had a blast face painting last evening. I lost track of how many faces I did, but the flow was constant from just before 6:00 to nearly 8:00. My face paint wasn't as good as the kiddos, but I did a few little things on my face. Most popular of the evening were Spiderman & Unicorns.

    Then I went to trivia where one of my team mates was trashed. Tried to get him to let me drive him home. Even offered to drive his car. He lives a half mile from me and Tim and I both had cars. He wouldn't give over the keys, but he agreed (well sort of) to let me follow him home. I think he tried to drop me, but I managed to stick with him. When he was speeding on 50 I let him go, and just picked him back up at the exit. He ran 4 stop lights. Not a good choice to drive, but he made it home.

    Started the day with a 3 hour safety training session. I totally struggled to stay awake for that one. Not sure why. I went to bed by 10:00, and still couldn't drag my bum out of bed this morning. Not much really planned for this evening. Have to get started cleaning out the garage tonight. Maybe go for a bike ride because it is very nice out.

I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How do you take the hurt out of caring? Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. Finished my project. Having to re-evaluate the plans for this unit because students are having more difficulty with it than I'd anticipated.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    Wow I got nothing done yesterday. Took mom to dinner instead of going on a bike ride/cleaning. Oh well...

    I have spent 4 hours researching Medicare advantage plans this morning. Finally got mom some great benefits! It doesn't start until January, but we finally got it done. Rainy day today, not sure what I'll do after work.

    13. Therapy thoughts: Prioritizing is hard. There is so much that feels important. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How do you take the hurt out of caring? Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. Finished my project. Having to re-evaluate the plans for this unit because students are having more difficulty with it than I'd anticipated.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    Wow I got nothing done yesterday. Took mom to dinner instead of going on a bike ride/cleaning. Oh well...

    I have spent 4 hours researching Medicare advantage plans this morning. Finally got mom some great benefits! It doesn't start until January, but we finally got it done. Rainy day today, not sure what I'll do after work.

    Didn't do much Thursday. Played pool (poorly) Friday night. Saturday I knocked it out of the park: Taught spin, Cleaned the garage, Swept and mopped floors & Completed my portion of a quilting project (I cut up t-shirts and boxed them). The garage was a huge undertaking and the floors were covered in doggo fur and I couldn't find the Swiffer, so that took some time. Sunday, I slept in a bit, but did laundry. Lots of laundry and got it all folded and put away. Had to actually clean out the closet and dresser to make it all fit. Hubby had to do his closet and drawers also. It isn't often all of the laundry is put away at once. We are definitely blessed by abundance in that area.

    I enjoyed being home and eating home cooked meals this weekend as well. We are supposed to go out for dinner tonight, but I'd rather just stay home. We'll see how I feel later.

    JFT Monday
    - Up by 6:30 (sort of, but didn't get out of bed until 6:55)
    - Weigh in :( forgot until I was dressed and didn't want to strip back down...
    - Pack lunch :smiley: Yummy leftover pasta
    - Work by 7:30 :smiley:
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - Touch base with employees :smiley:
    - Log food
    - Run/walk if it stops raining
    - Dinner / trivia
    - Home by 10:00
    - Shower
    - Bed

    13. Therapy thoughts: Prioritizing is hard. There is so much that feels important. I need to talk to my parents about end-of-life plans (particularly funeral arrangements) and I'm not sure how to go about it. I do somewhat trust that they are capable of deciding when they need assisted living but should probably offer help in finding out what sort of place would be best BEFORE it actually becomes necessary. How do you take the hurt out of caring? Identify what I want: to have my professional expertise acknowledged and given the respect it deserves, and to be taken as a legitimate authority.

    14. Just for fun: Start sketching dragon on a pile of books, offering one to the armored knight, & banner that reads "Treasure should not be hoarded / It should be shared." Use AI for ideas.

    WFTY: Priorities. Tomorrow's lesson: topic and main idea. Think it'll stick any better? *sigh*
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    JFT Monday
    - Up by 6:30 (sort of, but didn't get out of bed until 6:55)
    - Weigh in :( forgot until I was dressed and didn't want to strip back down...
    - Pack lunch :smiley: Yummy leftover pasta
    - Work by 7:30 :smiley:
    - Meetings :smiley:
    - Touch base with employees :smiley:
    - Log food :(
    - Run/walk if it stops raining :(
    - Dinner / trivia :smiley:
    - Home by 10:00 :smiley:
    - Shower :(
    - Bed :smiley:

    Lost at trivia last night. Came down to the last question and Tim and I disagreed. We went with my answer and it was wrong. His answer was correct. We always seem to chose poorly on the last question. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes he's right, but we never seem to go with the correct answer. After trivia we went to the pool hall where I worked on my break. I found at the tournament that if I break poorly, my confidence drops and I have an awful game. If I break well, I tend to play well. Hence, I am working on my break. An older guy, showed me how to break the other night. I just need to execute it better.

    Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I suppose it's because kids run around and do kid things. They get to be silly and as original as they want. I typically dress up as well, but I may forgo that this year and just enjoy the parade of kiddos. Bought the good candy so no pranks at my place tonight.

    Tim took the day off today to relax and rest. He has worked the last 23 days straight. Not always 8 hours, but no less than 6 hours a day up to as many as 13 hours a day. During TAR (once every 3 year maintenance) at the chemical plant, the engineers in his department are very busy. My department, not so much. I'm in a much more mellow section. On his day off he will run, do yoga, go to the grocery and make me a nice dinner. He's a really great guy and he'd do anything to make me happy. We joke that we are like Ross & Rachael or Leonard & Penny. He pursued me for 5 years before I agreed to go out with him, but it's still one of my best decisions. Who knew I'd end up with a "good guy" after dating so many losers.
