Something you can do only once every 4 years. This week has been a series of early, early nights. Basically, crashing in bed with baby, unable to rise. No idea why I’m so tired. One theory might be that I’m getting more sleep, therefore …
Progress on goals today: moderate. Have not really walked yet, BUT have done exercise at my desk while reading :). Super-fun and fun to watch, I’m sure! plies/deep knee bends, and lifting objects over my head (objects = my big binder of reference materials). Have responded to emails as I read them. And am now …
Wow. After midnight again. Gave baby a bath at 7:30. A long bath. Got her out by 8, wrangled her into pajamas, tried to get her to sleep. By 8:40 she was reading books on my lap and I was crashing. Could barely keep my eyes open. But baby didn’t want to sleep. We turned …
Work, work work. I feel the weight of a lot of it right now. Here’s what I plan to do about the stress and anxiety I’m experiencing. 1) Exercise. I need more. For my bones (recently found out they’re seriously weak – yech) and for my mental state. 2) Respond to emails as I read …
Today was more active than I’m used to. Up early. Groceries with baby – two stops. Haven’t done that in a long time. And incidentally, it reminds me of how busy I kept during mat leave, doing groceries a few times a week at multiple stores. WHY??? Keep it simple. During shopping today, I said …
This afternoon I looked over at a baby with a poop face. We dashed to the bathroom and almost made it! Almost = a big hunk of poo fell to the floor mat as I lifted her onto the potty. Awesome! At least it was a lump and not a stream. I cleaned her up, …
Today I worked! It was brilliant! Didn’t arrive until 9:30, but I settled right in, thanks to non-working email. I was also inspired by a “getting things done” list from Julie Morgenstern that I’d brought in to work, and focused on her “do not multitask” recommendation. So I cleared my desk and started to work …
My sweet girl seems to be going through some separation anxiety. When I drop her off in the mornings lately, she doesn’t like it. She doesn’t want me to leave, wants to nurse, and if I make a move for the door, protests. I stay, bond, nurse and play and grandma plays, engages, distracts and …
Today I walked up and down the stairs in my building (3 flights) 3 times. And one time in a nearby building, up another 3 flights. Walked a bit around campus for meetings. And did yoga over lunch. Self-care! Now: am heading to bed. Because I”m wiped, baby just went to sleep, and sleep is …
As we proceed with decluttering and downsizing, I’m reflecting on a few ideas from other blogs. The benefits of having a little bit extra is one idea discussed here. Some minimalists would have you eliminate all the fluff: one towel per person, one pair of sheets per bed, only the smallest of wardrobes, and throw …
