Good Morning Everyone,
Feeling like I am in a serious funk right now, last night I went to bed annoyed, agitated, frustrated, angry you name it I was probably feeling it. Not to mention for the past few days I have not been able to shake the something is wrong but I don't know what feeling which is still there but also stepped up to include I have done something wrong and I don't know what I did. Deep down I know it is my anxiety but what is setting it off, I have no clue.
Yesterday I was in the office for a meeting and then it seemed like everytime I turned around someone was asking, since you are here can we look at or go over or discuss so it was a super busy day.
After work I went to Costco we did need a few things but the big reason was Wiper Blades are on sale and Mom's have fallen apart. Now I just need to figure out how to change them, wish me luck as Mom then told me when I home last night that there is a trick she has never learned and that is why she always had the mechanic do it.
Well I was there I grabbed some other things, they still have no Greek Yogurt, I have now gone 4 times and I am slightly annoyed. I do not know if they cannot keep it in stock or what.
I ended up working until I went to bed last night because I just cannot keep up right now. This might be adding to my anxiety is I seem to be being excluded again because "how does that affect her," when the reality is everything right now seems to affect me but I am always 10 steps behind because I find out after the fact. We have so much going on right now, we have multiple new staff, multiple changes happening and I feel like I don't know where to turn. In my meeting yesterday not that anyone was upset or pushing me but I got asked for an update on stuff I am working on and honestly haven't looked at it in months.
Then the plan this morning was to focus on work but I woke up with the same headache I went to bed with and then our system crashed and I was ready to go back to bed.
Ok, that is it, I need to flip this around. I am going to walk away for a minute, try to clear my mind and move forward.
Happy Wednesday Everyone.2022 is going to be my year, the year I find organization in my life and the year I focus on myself,
follow along as tackle day to day life and whatever else 2021 throws at me:

Well I have had a very interesting day. First I won 20 on the lottery, then I delivered the school lunches. When I got back the neighbour brought over a box of Purdy's and $100 gift card to the Keg as DH sometimes shovels their driveway. I think I feel a birthday dinner coming on next week.
I had been texting with my friends who had just arrived in Chile for a cruise-and then he couldn't find his passport-my worst nightmare. Anyway they went to the embassy and were sent off for pics and told to expect a 24-72 hr wait. When they got back they produced a passport right away-amazing. So hopefully they can rejoin the ship tomorrow at the first port stop. Whew what a start to the trip.

Watched the girls today ,took a pizza there for them as Ashlyn has tudoring from 4.30 to 5.30 my daughter-in-law got in at 5.30.I did a load of laundry for her and put one away .
Then went thru a few of Cara's clothing as she didnt fit in the size 5 bathing suits (she is tiny but age 7) then a few dresses didnt fit her -she hates to part with any of her clothing but i convinced her as i told her she will get a few new clothing on easter from me.lol
Then the girls were riding their bikes ,such a beautifull day out .I put 4 towels over my railing on my deck and they dried in 2 hours this afternoon.

Was eating at Canadian Brewhouse. (I have a free promo order of boneless wings each week for a year.) Just so happened to get another free offer for after-St.Pat's day Poutine. So, I ate it, too.
Ah, the joy of having so much free food thrown at me. They sure can pack in the calories!
My food may not befit a king, but I eat like a horse.

Morning!
Last night I went for a walk at 8:30pm with just a hoodie on and it was perfect. So nice out!
Today- Breakfast will be oatmeal (made 2 days ago... so day 3. Nice to just heat and add almond milk and fruit)
Clean kitchen.
Clean fridge.
Move things to my vehicle that need to go somewhere- Costco return. Donation bin.
Continue cleaning...so many projects on the go!
Will get out for a walk. Maybe treat myself to a latte. I may do my late night walk tonight but bring a backpack and go to RCSS . It takes me 15 mins to walk there and then 15 to walk back home. Spend 30 mins walking the store and I get an hour walk without trying!
Have a wonderful day!

Good Afternoon Everyone,
Thank you @Frugalbigmama & @walkonby . I am hoping soon there will a chance to take a couple of days off. Right now there is too much on the go. Home is so hard as Mom cannot really help anymore and I just cannot keep up but we will see how I feel this weekend.
I cleaned my kitchen a little yesterday which was enough to at least allow me to focus, I can't say all the feeling were gone (they still aren't) but at least I could focus and get done what I had to do.
I know this is not a proven science but I have been stalking Yogurt on Instacart and it looked like my location had some, now I know I was at Costco on Tuesday but I decided to risk it and see if they had it. Maybe it was divine intervention so I couldn't work late but off I went and I am happy to say I got the goods. They had the yogurt plus I did not see it but Feta was on sale so I grabbed that as well.
I was going to grab one of their premade meals for dinner but I have to say I was not impressed with the selection and I didn't expect the to be cheap but to me they seemed super expensive. I could get take out that would have als given me leftovers for not much more. So I just came home and made Nachos.
I am feeling better today, one thing is still bugging me, was going to speak to Dad but he went into a meeting so hoping things are turning around.
I was in branch today to attend a meeting and do training.
On my way home I ran into No Frills, did need a lot but grabbed a few things:
1 x Grape Tomatoes 907g $5.99
1 x Lemons 2lbs $2.99
1 x Garlic 3-pack $0.99
1 x Sweet Potatoes 5lbs $3.99
1 x Milk $4.99
2 x Sour Cream $2.49
My fridge is currently busting at the seams which oddly makes me happy. I love having options an I think it is one of my love languages to ensure we are taken care of.
Dinner is in the Oven just making peorgie bake tonight (a headache had hit, probably the weather) after dinner, I will prep my Meal Plan and Prep list for the weekend.
Happy Thursday Everyone.2022 is going to be my year, the year I find organization in my life and the year I focus on myself,

Good Morning Everyone,
Was up early this morning and tried to get right to it but I had one of those mornings where I felt like I just couldn't wake up.
But I have managed to knock out a few work things, I ran the dishwasher because I forgot to run it last night and just took a shower to hopefully help wake me up.
I am trying to go into the weekend saying whatever happens, happens but it is so hard part of me wants to take it off and relax but the other part of me know it will feel so good to get things done.
I really would like to focus on shifting our freezers. I want to focus on our staples and make room for more homemade quick grab foods. I need more options when things do not go as planned like this week where one night I went to Costco after work another night I went back to Costco and honestly, I was in a funk and dinner was not a high priority for me, I was just trying to get through the day.
Maybe I will spend the weekend cooking, nothing relaxes me more than time in the kitchen, hmmm that might be the plan.
Happy Friday Everyone.2022 is going to be my year, the year I find organization in my life and the year I focus on myself,

Morning! We have sunshine and blue sky!
We also woke up to snow covered cars/lawns etc..
Went out of town yesterday for something so decided to grab a free meal at the casino and use the Free play (was a bonus for yesterday or today) Came home with $45 Cash! I will take it. Also topped up my gas tank while there since it is .12C L cheaper. It would only take just under $15 so that was nice.
Was nice to get out of the house for a few hours since everyone was working....
I have a box ready for youngest DS to go through and tell me what I can toss. I also need everyone to go through the shoes and toss what is not worn anymore.
Waiting to do this before I put them back in the entrance closet. I have a few ready to go to the garbage can...Will keep one pair of old runners for yard work. *even though I have a pair of crocs in the garage for this purpose!
Today- Clean kitchen from late night dishes. Put shopping bins/bags in car.
Go do some banking and grab a few things from my shopping list.
Tonight's dinner will be steak I think (I need to pull from the freezer) with red potatoes, asparagus/onions/mushrooms and a little bit of Kale salad (working on a kit I opened the other day)
Have a wonderful weekend!
