I had a silly little misconception going on, that ULOGS are only to be written at night. After your day is done. Silly rule maker. You write when you want.
I woke up early today again, I have been working on going to bed earlier and waking up at the same time as my husband. Its difficult as he sleeps late, wakes up early and catches up on sleep on the weekends. Its getting easier.
I rinsed and wiped my car down, thinking about my friend @opeyemioguns who wipes his car down often. I let my mind wander and think about how much easier it would be if I did this task more often, then I let myself wander to Tijuana and how much dirtier my car gets when I'm there, and the people who are ready at every long red light and parking lot, to give your car I good shine. I thought about my great-grandma and the dirt roads to get to her house, the tires for steps, the little living room, her water container. Then I watched the wet cloth make instant little clouds as the water quickly evaporated from my hot car.
My Grandma...
Then I was done.
I also washed last nights dinner dishes. I got dinner done real late and by the time we were done eating it was time to pick my sister up at the airport. Who wants to wash dishes instead of hang out with their sister? Me, cause that's exactly what I did this morning. Wash dishes while chatting with my sister.
Even dishes are a pleasant task when my sister is around.
The laundry is almost dry which means its almost time for me to hang it and then shower. Im dropping one kid off at the movies with her friend, they finally get to see "Solo." "Im the only kid who hasn't watched it!"
Well, now you get to join the ranks of Solo-Watchers.
I got my produce box delivered today so my mind is full of recipes.
The apples are extra delicious today.
The oranges are heavy, always a good sign.
1/2 the cucumber was sliced and is infusing along with some frozen mango. I've been sipping on it all morning.
Should I roast the cabbage today? Or cook the greens? Maybe make some avocado tacos?
Good thing my beans are in order, ready to be eaten, and my rice is nice and clean, ready for the cooker.
I was pleasantly surprised myself while writing this ulog. I took my summer clothes out last week and found that my shorts were more snug than I like to wear them.
My solution was to give myself lots of walking chores, eat more veggies, avoid snacking and late night desserts. I expected that next month, when I NEED my summer clothes for an upcoming trip the changes would be enough to have everything fit well. This morning I forgot my shorts were too snug and put them on while washing my car.
They already fit again.
Maybe they could fit better. I don't really remember how comfortable they were last year... But still, if its as easy as eating more veggies and walking more - Im keeping on doing it.
Thanks for stopping by my ULOG. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Oh, and I forgot to share. I went on discord, hung out with the mamas, and left a wonderful playlist. I read a few posts by some steemit friends, and then my phone ran out of batteries. If you're a mama and on steemit and want to hang out on discord, come join us. We are growing fast and want you there ❤️.
Its still Friday 10:14 AM. All is well.
