Today was really the first day I have felt well enough to do much. Yesterday I managed to clean a bathroom but the rest of Sunday I laid in bed. Today I have tidied, attempted to get back on track with my organizing however Internet connectivity is causing a bit of an issue in completing my task. The past few days while taking it easy I have been trying to organize family pictures from 2009 until now in photo books to get printed. I have long been talking about getting pictures printed and putting them in albums but I really like the looks of the photo books. It's been taking forever to download pictures so I am assuming based on the past that this is because of my provider. I will touch base in regards to that with the company. It's seriously aggravating!
I have not read as much as I had hoped of the book the Happiness Project. With my sinuses screaming at me and head pounding, reading has been the last thing on my mind. Perhaps later this week I will get around to a few chapters. I also hope to get on a cross stitch that I started ages ago. I am hoping to have both the book and cross stitch completed by the end of November so I better get on just a bit a day.
While sick and bummed that I was missing yoga I entered a contest where I had to enter a life phrase I live by. So I entered the saying, "If you love life then you shouldn't waste time, for time is the stuff life is made of." by Benjamin Franklin. Anyways, all names for the contest were entered and my name was drawn!!! I was super excited about this contest as it's a natural product that I have been curious about for a while. With funds a bit tighter at this time of year I knew it would be a real stretch to purchase, but having won I will now get to try them! The company is Dew Drop Aromatherapy. The products are for skin care, specifically for the face! I could not be more excited to try a natural product on my skin especially since it's been breaking out badly in recent months and I cannot find a product that helps with dry peeling skin or breakouts. As a teen and 20's I had perfect flawless skin. Now not so much. I guess I was lucky though I mean if a woman is to get breakouts it's better to be married and older right? Anyways hopefully this product loves my skin and does wonders. I will definitely update. I wish I could find the website as there are many other natural products.
Being ill and confined to bed I missed my oldest daughter's first ringette game. As I love the sport it was brutal to miss out. They won 7-1. My daughter almost got a shut out. In the last minutes someone said the dreaded word and as always happens a goal was scored. Yes, we are superstitious. I think most athletes are to be honest. For a goalie though that is a huge no no. It was a great start to the season with a win like that and she came home over the moon about her play. I had texts from the parents with updates, especially when she made an incredible save in the last minutes.
Next weekend we are doing a birthday for my youngest daughter so this week I will need to prepare the house and myself to a few girls and the activities to come. Can't say I love parties but the plan is to completely tire them out, let them decorate cupcakes, eat ice cream and then hope they fall asleep and not keep me up all night. Wishful thinking I'm betting.
My youngest also got her braces on this past Friday. Poor child. Unlike my oldest who gets hers off in the next month, my youngest doesn't share the same pain tolerance and really felt it all weekend. Lots of Advil and naps. Now Monday she seems to have adjusted but the braces have only just been put on, they will be tightened in early December and I am positive that will bring on another struggle for a few days.
Not much else to report to be honest. I am trying to get back in control of what's been left on the sideline the past few days. I wanted to post though so not to think I have yet again left the blog hanging or fell off the wagon once again.
Today My Name is...recovering
