Tuesday and I'm Trying...

 

5 more ~ 39 to go!

 It's hard to believe there's only 5 more Tuesday's this year...and only 39 more days until the New Year! Think about it. Where's the year gone? What have you [I] accomplished? Are you ready for a 'New Year'?

I for one feel like I've done my fair share of stuff. Stuff that has kept me Very Busy...a planner I am..organized...Wellll mostly.

Earlier this year I went on back-to-back Florida trips, one with my hiking group, one to visit my friend Lynn.

So far this year I've worked as a race photographer with my team RaceRise at 53 run events with 7 more to go before the end of the year, and yes I know there's ONLY 52 weeks in a year. I did 3 run'cations with my girl and her BRF's,

During the Spring I helped/assisted with a running program for the Hope Center, the guys are amazing BTW.

I was the ''official'' photographer for the GWRRKY for their annual 'The BASH'.

I was able to re-join my hiking with the Casey County Explorer Group though I didn't hike during the hotter summer months, I only missed a few weeks' worth of hiking.

My local hiking Gal Pal's and I stated doing monthly Gal's lunches visiting different venues and kinda dressing up for a change.

As a GOP social media person, I went to SO. MANY. FUNDRAISERS....and though outcomes for some of the candidates weren't what I expected I'm glad the campaigning is over for now....[talk about stress]!

Wednesdays are for Bible Studies at First Baptist Church; I can't say enough about Dr. Briscoe.

I did join the Garden Club [like I needed more stuff-sigh] but it's been fun and only 1 Wednesday a month.

My involvement with my church is still going strong and am still active with the Connections ministry, and Card Ministry [sending cards to shut-ins, or those going through difficult times].

I went to my very first Church Women United meeting [spring meeting] and fell in Love with the organization...we are the only inclusive ecumenical Christian women's movement in the World !! The World..how cool is that ! I'm beyond blessed to be a small part of this group of Christian Women, and had the best time during the Regional meeting that took place in my birth State Indiana.

So that's ''some'' of what my year has been like. I'm excited for the new year ! I'm excited for all the trips I'm going to go on ! I'm excited to be involved and help race director's with promoting/influencing events ! I'm excited to go on several run'cations with my girl and her BRF's ! I'm excited to continue to grow ME ! To make a few waves, make more people notice there's more to me than anyone ever thought.

That's enough for today, time to cook dinner and relax with the Hubby!

Hugs, Kisses, Be Safe Wishes !

I can see clearly now! - Water everyday - Zumba

 

 

It is isn't it...Tuesday and feeling like it should be Thursday at the Very Least....

 

Got all my Favorite containers filled, ready to...I do this daily! Huge thanks to my friend Julie for making my Flamingo Mama & MOM SQUAD cups...LOVE'em

 

Started the day of course with COFFEE!! Thinking I should really cut back on this....Not!

The first thing rolling my day was the dishwasher, of all the daily chores I do this is the one I Hate to do...don't know why cause it's the simplest one to do...Loading it I'm OK with but putting them away...Shew'eee if it wasn't for the sink and counters getting over ran by dirty dishes/pots & pans I would let the sucker go until I need something out of it, that's what I get for cooking instead of going out to eat.....

The countdown has begun for this chore to pass onto the MR - 13 more days and he joins the retirement club...THIRTEEN! Well to be honest he's actually not retiring then but with vacation he has already accrued and the Floating Holidays his last ''working'' day is mid-month. I Can't Wait! We have much to do and the ''Planning'' has begun, not just with household & yard projects but his newest adventure...post coming soon I Promise! 

 

A little TV time today for a change before heading to get some new specks....it's been a while since I got different glasses, but do to the whole MR retiring thing getting ready to happen I figured get'em while I can now.

My prescription has changed a lot bit and the cataracts have grown some....nothing to worry about yet as I expected them to develop long before now [Thanks Mom-got that heredity thing].

 

Meal prep for tonight Meatless Meal for the win...Baked Sweet Potato, Sweet corn, Cottage Cheese, and Salad is on the menu...

 

Prepped for the gym last night all I need to do is get there...luckily there wasn't any of the expected rain, sleet, snow forecasted last night so I won't be late...

 

I've missed going to class and though I need to take it easy and not over-do it I will make exercise & fitness & healthy eating a better priority. 

Zumba with Mavis was on point as Always!! Love, Love, LOVE her teaching... just enough pause between songs to show the steps ahead of the music...

 

Back to working on the meal plan [three weeks worth done-go me] I started planning for winter meals a long time ago and as $$ allowed I would pick up items to use for later and cooked extra meals more so for the MR to re-heat when I am gone on destination races,

schedules [gym-meetings-races for the win],

and budgets [almost balanced]....

 

 

That's my Thursday crap Tuesday hope you're all doing well!

 

 

Do you Zumba??

How much water do you get in a Day?

Can you plan 3weeks worth of meals?
