Small Joys — affirmed!

Day 181

Random number 41

Write out an affirmation 20 times

Took me a few days to get around to this. Affirmed about my health and movement. It is a good meditative practice. Maybe I’ll do more.

But I’ll need a nicer notebook…

Memories triggered

I used to be an editor at a country music magazine in the ‘90s. I lived and breathed that stuff. And i somewhat continued to follow the stars’ lives for a few years after.

I would’ve said it was all behind me. But man! did I click hard when I saw a headline about a Brooks/Yearwood divorce.

Turned out to be speculative clickbait. Maybe they are… but nothing’s been filed. Garth is either a cheating creep or he’s a rich guy being targeted. Equally possible. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m just laughing at myself to discover how much I still cared as if I know these people. 😆😆😆🎤🎶🐴

Day 177

Number 288

Make Sean’s life better

Got Sean’s car fixed up. I made his 10-year-old car like new with a wax job and headlight cover cleaner at @minteco. He is impressed. And he picked up an 8-legged hitchhiker who will eat bugs. A good day for his old CRV.

Last November, I researched all sorts of tips of how to clean headlight covers with minimal success. It was very much worth the money to pay someone else to do it.

Day 175

Not-So-Random number 151

accept help

Fell on the sidewalk outside Barnes & Noble. Banged up my knee and bounced in my shoulder, and twisted my ankle. I hobbled back to office and Britney immediately grabbed an ice back. Kelly brought me Tylenol. Darline and Karen checked on me and suggested bubble wrap. All the attention was a bit much but I accepted help rather than put on a brave face. Hobbled to car and hobbled to bed and let Sean & Peter take care of me.

my bruised ankle in the morning:

Repair Fannie Farmer cookbook

This old book was falling apart. Mended it with packing tape. I feel better about its survival now.

Let’s see if I can do leg lifts — 10 x3 each side — every day for a week.,

Update 6/16: so far… nothing. May need to modify this experiment.
