I recently started writing out menus for the week instead of just fixing whatever comes to mind on the day. When Chrystal was here to eat with us and use some of the leftovers for lunch, it was a daily thing. With just the two of us and Jim not really inspired by leftovers, It’s become sort of 3 or 4 days a week with leftovers and salads in between. I still search online for new recipes to keep inspired.
I’ve been trying to follow my scheduled routine for exercise and added new sessions. The old schedule called for a few quick stretches and deep knee bends to strengthen my legs once a day. I’m increasing that to three times a day and adding a Yoga session in the afternoons. In a couple of weeks, school will be out and I won’t have a framework for activities until the fall. I need to get into a regular routine to make up for that. Last summer, I just sat around and I lost a lot of strength and stamina because of it. I need to be getting that back and adding to it.
I’ve also got to set up a house cleaning schedule. Before, it was just a random thing whenever I was in the mood. I’m going to try scheduling it so things get done before they grate on my nerves so much I just need to fix it. I found a list in my prayer app for Household jobs that I wrote up a while back. It says update blogs on Monday. That’s what I’m doing today. The rest of it may need to be rewritten and copied to my Notebook app. The old schedule had one thing a day, sort of a different room each day. I’m thinking that wasn’t very practical, obviously it didn’t really work since I’d forgotten all about it. I need to come up with something better.
