Welcome to the first installment Sunday Check-In where I give a quick update of my week!
Something Fun I Did This Week
On Friday night, I drove to the west side to pick up my new MacBook Air from Best Buy and Chik Fil A for supper. In this pandemic, any chance to take a long enough drive that warrants monkeying with my FM transmitter to listen to music counts as an adventure.
How I Practiced Self-Care This Week
Last weekend I was busy organizing my closet. This week I was busy finding my recliner that was buried under a mountain of clothes to make a nice comfy spot to write, watch tv, and eat dinner/snacks so I wouldn't be eating in bed anymore. Anyways I was feeling exhausted on Wednesday because I had been going nonstop with working all day, working on my closet, and fitting in a swim and Tuesday small group. So I just gave my permission to give myself the night off and chill and watch tv.
How I Did With Accomplishing My Goals
In some ways I succeeded with my goals and some ways I failed. A couple weeks ago I created a Google Drive word document of goals for the first quarter of 2021. One of my goals is to swim three times a week and find another pool where I would be able to accomplish this easier since the Y has very limited swimming times. I signed up at the Princeton Club which is open 24 hours. I love it!!! Late night swims are my new favorite thing! My third swim for this week will happen late tonight since I have tomorrow off. I also had some goals only to eat at Chik Fil A OR Chipotle once a week. I ended up eating Chipotle on Thursday and Chick Fil A on Friday. Oops, but it’s a new week and I have the ingredients to make chicken broccoli alfredo for this week. Two other goals I set were to play my uke twice a week and go for 1-2 walks per week. I epically failed on both of those goals, but tomorrow I do plan on taking a walk and going out on the lake. There'll probably be some uke time as well.
Something I Learned This Week
Don’t eat Taco Bell before you grocery shop, I’ll spare you the gory details and just say that people wouldn’t have had any issue social distancing themselves from me had I been there during normal people hours and I just barely made it to the bathroom after buying my groceries and getting them into the car.
What I’m Looking Forward To This Week
Friday is my birthday which calls for some type of celebration which I’m struggling with ideas on how to do that. I’m actually feeling sociable this year which I can't do since there is a pandemic going on and it’s winter which rules out any outdoor gatherings. I thought about doing a Zoom call or Facebook Room with all the cool people I know, but then I realized how awkward it would be to ask people to video chat with strangers. So maybe I’ll go see a movie or run downtown and grab something sweet from Insomnia Cookies and some Paul’s Pelmini and watch Soul on Disney+ which I have yet to do. I also have to watch Hamilton, but all I’ve done is watched all four Herbie movies. The second one is my favorite, the fourth one is a waste of time.
