Just for Today.... ONE DAY AT A TIME... Daily commitment for 2025

Hour commitment - I won't eat again until 12 pm.

Recap 10/19 Sunday ~ More than 1/2" rain overnight, but sunny & windy now. Fall temps have definitely arrived, leaves are quickly changing colors & dropping, and we've started on some of our fall/winter prep around the yard. Hubby and I placed fresh mousetraps in the garage this morning, since smart mice are getting the peanut butter but not triggering the traps. Eek! I hate mice. At least they've never gotten into the house in 21 years, we've never seen/heard signs, and pretty sure Kitty would let us know.

WOTY 2025: Judicious ~ I just like the way the word sounds, and the meaning is right for me: having or showing reason and good judgement in making decisions. I can apply this word in so many ways!

Yesterday was crazy busy… Took mom to the neurologist (awful experience), then took her to the neighboring town to pick up and adjust her new glasses. Stopped and got lunch, the headed back to the assisted living facility. Got to work an hour later than planned, had a million things to do before 4:30. Left right at 4:30 to meet a guy to show mom's house at 5:00. Then home and out to dinner. It doesn't sound like much, but it was very mentally taxing. My food choices were not good. Pretzels for lunch and grilled cheese and fries for dinner.

Today I still feel behind and rushed even though I'm not really. Day is filled with back to back meetings and then I have to run home grab my gym bag (once I find it) and go teach spin class. I am going to be a mess of gasping for air and trying to speak. It's been a while since I've ridden. Starting my classes up again in November should help.
