I guess with everything going on I neglected to mention what I accomplished in February. While it wasn't near what I accomplished in January I still managed to get things crossed off my To Do List.
Accomplished
-main floor bathroom painted
-girls bathroom painted
-shower door installed in girls bathroom
-shelves installed in bathrooms
-finances in order
-sold Viggo's big cage
-sold old ringette gear
-got taxes sent off
-filing done
-spring training booked for my oldest daughter
-grad dress purchased and shipped
-registration for grade 10 complete
I have yet to:
-clean the basement (organize/box/toss)
-finish garage however it's been far too cold
-new tires on truck & journey
-oil changes and tune ups
-find a storage lot for our trailer but I did call around and have us on a wait list for our #1 place
-extra goalie gear still needs to be sold
-did not read 2 books let alone 1 so try to get through one in March
-finish cross stitch for basement bathroom (3yrs in the making, try to get a whale at least done)
So going forth I hope to accomplish what I have yet to accomplish. I'm really looking forward to spring and the snow melting. I cannot wait to get the yard cleaned up, plant more flowers, bushes and plants and fill pots with more flowers. I would like to have raised gardens this year to grow some stuff but we shall see.
I have not stuck to the menu plan. Menu plans are awesome provided they are followed. They save money and keep one from wracking their brain trying to come up with or plan meals. We've done well planning on the go and eating at home but it would help if I actually followed my original menu plan. At least they are drafted as I can use them in the months ahead.
I have continued with my juicing for breakfast and morning snack. I've recently added Goji berries, Maca powder and Cacao powder to the morning juice mix for the above & below reasons. Anything to add health benefits.
Speaking of health, I have struggled with health issues as of late. I spent an evening in the hospital due to my TMJ related to the accident. Here I thought I had a sinus, perhaps ear infection due to the ache and pressure, then when the right half of my face started to droop my mother rushed me to the hospital. It was pretty bad. I guess with TMJ issues and flare ups this can happen. I hope it's the first and last time but I would bet that would be wishful thinking. I hate my jaw. :( After 2 percocettes, 3 ibuprophen and a couple gravol like pills they sent me home as there is little else that can be done aside from relax the jaw and manage pain.
I had a another flare up a few days later but it was minor...minor meaning no facial drooping.
My stomach has been off too since I was in the hospital. Juicing agrees with me but any solid foods make me feel sick for a few hours following a meal. I should get this checked.
Ringette season is now over...it ended with the girls off for a lovely day in Banff as a team. They took a bus and enjoyed the Gondola and dinner and explored the town and sites. Following that they competed in Provincials and placed 3rd in the province. 22 teams competed in playdowns, 12 made it to provincials but there were quite a few more teams that did not make it to playdowns. They should feel proud to be 3rd. So close to first and they could have easily, it just wasn't their game. After a wonderful weekend of provincials they wrapped up with a team dinner.
Going forward it's just horseback riding and my oldest will take part in Edge School spring hockey program to continue with ice time. Both mean spring...spring means more family time...and camping...and watching the To Do list dwindle down....time to cross and toss the to do list! Wouldn't that be nice?
The days are ticking down to my oldest leaving for her trip to Quebec, then we have a short break and take off to Florida. Let's hope I can get my health in check before we leave!
It's been busy, eventful and I'm exhausted lately. Sleep is never enough. Hopefully I can find time to update again soon and it will be more positive with better health and more accomplished. Fingers crossed!
Today My Name Is...Stumble
