Feb. 4th, 2025 01:57 pm1. Going shopping and only buying what you came for is (for me) like using an odd muscle that hasn't been used in a while. A good thing, a great thing, actually, but I still need to focus to do it.
2. There is a tiny, tiny bit of glee in watching the boys' father having to find ways fill his own days without a job which is what I have been doing for the past TEN YEARS! He did taxes yesterday.
3. We're already having a few fights about money, but I am getting better at #1. The issue is that the boys' birthdays are in March and April.
4. I did 5 Valentines. They are in the mail. Tomorrow I am going to try shopping at ALDI. The weather is warmer, so I went back to the lake yesterday. I want to get back to running. I finished reading a book of poetry Versed by Rae Armantrout and will post some more poems on Thursday.
5. The boys had their check-ups and Minisculus got put on a Calorie Modification Plan (we know what that is, hm?) so there are 7 steps. We are on Step 1, which is set eating & snacking times. A simple start, but of course he's grumbling already. The next one starts in 10 days and will be more difficult: drinking more water. But who knows? Maybe I will lose some weight from it. He doesn't need to lose weight, according to the doctor, just stay the same and let his natural growth (height) catch up. He was 18 lbs heavier than he was supposed to be, so it's not without reason. And not spending money on junk will go into #1 and probably help #3.
