(no subject)
So Haiku and I went to the park today. All morning I was like "omg, it's freaking cold"...and on the way to the park it was SNOWING! Just some flurries, but hey, snow! We didn't stay long, just walked a loop around the lower fields, did a little bit of recall targeting work and called it a day.
I was so excited by the snow!
Which is good, because the last couple of weeks I've been completely unmotivated to do anything. I hoped after returning from a torturous weekend in which we gathered to spread my moms ashes, I would get a sense of relief and freedom. Not so much.
Yesterday was rough, locking myself out of house and car and waiting 40 minutes for Ethan to be reached and to come get me. Then to work for one asshole, matted cocker (redundant on all counts, I know). Tomorrow I have one old ass cocker. A couple dogs each Thursday, Friday, Saturday. A slow, slow start to April. Of course, I was closed for most of last week.
I missed the deadline to enter the Peeps Show, which is part relief and part annoyance, since it would have been a good thing to have done. Oh well. Maybe next year.
Bunch of things I want to work on at CCH, some remodeling/rearranging, new merchandise, writing a newsletter and/or fact sheets...advertising ideas, etc, etc. Can't be bothered. I know I'll work on it soon (I'd better!) but for right now...blah.
Training classes with Haiku have been alot of fun and we're doing well. Missed one yesterday because Haiku wasn't feeling well. She seems to be doing better though. Tomorrow I'll start working her again. I also need to visit horses and pay board...
Things I need to work into a weekly schedule:
Haiku training
gym
swim class
working with truby
yoga
house cleaning
cooking/making meals
These are always the things that get back burnered when I get busy or despondent. What I would like to do is get up, do yoga, go to work. During the day I can work with Haiku 10 minutes here and there. Come home...there is the problem. I either need to immediately do housework or I get sucked into "relaxing" all afternoon. Swim class is easy because it's scheduled. Ethan and I are working on scheduling Gym Time so we get our workouts in. We do good with Sundays, but need to add in a couple other days. I need to get some more energy so that I can work with Truby on days I'm already at the barn. I need to work her at least 2 days a week. Tuesdays would be easy, and then again on Fri/Sat when I'm there for work.
I need to plan out meals. Get what I need to make them and have it ready to go. Prepping veggies and meats the day I buy them. Then it's just tossing it all together. Same with cleaning. I need to just do it when it needs to be done.
Anyway, I'm hoping that writing it all out will make it easier for me to start doing it. Maybe if I'm just doing it I'll pick up the energy and enthusiasm I need. Granted, I stop playing WoW May 19th, which will give me that much more free time, with one less thing to distract myself. I've already been cutting back my playtime. I hope alot of my crappy attitude is reaction to this loooong winter, it still being cold and rainy and the fun emotional storm of this weekend.
Another thing I need to improve to taking my vitamins and supplements every day. I have a couple that I take that really help but I just can't get into the habit of taking every day. Also thinking about doing another acupuncture treatment to get me geared up for spring. Last one was right before going to Ohio and my system was knocked down from the cold I had for so long. Might need a treatment to get me tuned up. Probably wouldn't hurt to get chiropractered since I KNOW I'm all crooked and I'm trying to do more activity like riding and gyming.
Ugh. A lot of stuff I need to do and work on, have become part of my daily routine. NONE of which I actually feel like doing. But. I will go drink a glass of water, take some vitamins, clean up the kitchen and fold the laundry. It's a little too late in the day to do yoga before swim class, so instead I'll watch some hulu and explore dinner options.
Annnnnnnnd GO!
