    Yet again my only goal is to get through the workday. I just took a short break and came back to ten new emails with new issues to figure out so it’s going to be a struggle. Then I promised I’d go to an event tonight with my mom so I won’t have much time to myself to unwind.

    I’m running on fumes and I’m sick of life throwing sucker punches at me but all I can do is take it one day at a time.

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.

    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.
    2020 WFTY: Progress. 2021 WFTY: Persistence. 2022 WFTY: Focus.

    JFT Thursday 27th

    Log everything no, had to guestimate
    Stay in the green no
    Only one snack yes
    Be mindful with food I thought about it, but still made a few bad choices
    Foot exercises yes
    Back exercises no
    Surgery appointment yes

    Not quite sure what I'll be doing today, will decide after appointment.

    Didn't do well yesterday. The appointment was very painful and unpleasant. Then the nurse told me that instead of the normal 3 week wait for results it's taking 3 months. So I'll have that niggling worry for the next 3 months (I am high risk for a particular cancer and am checked every year). When I came out I went to a local garden centre for a pot of tea, ended up making bad food choices. It's so easy to "forget to be good".

    JFT Friday 28th July

    Log everything
    Stay in the green
    Only one snack
    Be mindful with food
    Foot exercises
    Back exercises
    Walk dog
    Chase up pills, they gone missing between surgery and pharmacy again
