Let’s take stock of progress I made last week and what I hope to do this week.
Big Goal: My goal for January is to work on prepping meals. I’ve made some reasonable progress on it. I’ve looked up options a little and I think I will be starting with a combo of three things: single sheetpan, grain bowl, or soup. This allows me to do simple things that can cook with minimal prep while I am busy and allows me to eat a lot of vegetables. I started with some ideas this week so we’ll see how well I do. My hope is to do a bunch of prep/cooking while I am in class on Mondays. Let’s see how it goes.
- Progress on the big five:
- Y: Emailed, made appointment, person came, emailed and got response from hoa. next step: messge guy back for proposal. prep application. call the retractable place. email hoa again for payment.
- G: didn’t do anything here so these are still next steps: Research storage options, prep email, sort for 2 hours.
- S: Emailed nurse for the san jose place name. next step: call place, make appointment.
- Sa: did nothing on this one, need to come up with a different plan. Work up to 7 minutes be EOM.
- D: didn’t do anything on this either. I have to think about this more. Maybe one trip to airport.
- Three Medium goals:
- skin: researched a bit on basic skin regimen and did minimal stuff.
- art: bookmarked some sketch ideas but need to organize.
- dance: did nothing on this, this week.
- Start: registered for both: Stanford class and the Preamble
- Stop: stopped the bed eating but didn’t decrease snapple yet.
- Continue: trust: opened chase, confirmed F., no progress on others yet.
- Brave: not ready to send the email yet.
- Other things I did:
- Booked tickets for D to come home
- Booked all our college tour appointments, flights, hotels and Sadie boarding.
- Pay Attention: This week people were really kind to me:
- My friend Michelle sent me tree ornaments I love.
- There was a long line at one of my regular cafes, the person took my order in the line and charged me so I didn’t have to wait.
- At another cafe, the person had my coffee all ready before I even came up to pay
This was a tough week and I felt really sad, angry and overwhelmed about the world. I noticed I was beating myself up a lot about not getting everything done so I am trying to pay attention to kindness people give me, and to all that I *am* doing so that I can be kinder to myself.
Ok that’s it for now. I won’t officially start January until next week, so it’s a three-week month for me. So we’ll see how far I manage to get.
