** TV Shows this week **
The DVR Reba sitcoms are all finished and though the Mr wanted to ''start'' over with season one again I made the executive decision to squelch that idea! We have lots of regular programing TV shows set to record and watch later. The new season of Yellowstone started last night WooHoo! I started selecting various movies to record IF there's any downtime for me during the day [sometimes just for the background noise] and of course Action type movies for the Mr.

** Goal/To Do List **
My main goal is to continue with my mile [minimum] a day streak, today marks day #164!
Daily basic's - sweep, make bed, kitchen, bathroom.
** Around The House **
Basic routine will be a plus and now that the Mr is feeling better he's able to assist with a couple of things like sweeping.
** Project this Week **
I did manage to get the shelving out of the cellar and added 1 storage closet for long term clothes storage. Ordered additional storage bags for extra protection and added a fan for better circulation. I still need to work on other basement de-cluttering.
I'll be refreshing my upstairs and move plants inside for the fall/winter.

** Reflection(s) **
While talking and listening are definitely important, the next step is the most important thing: changing. Actually, doing the thing you talked about. Actions speak louder than words. Show Love in a noticeable way.
