8:30 am
Went to a breakfast club meeting with some coworkers. One had a Mr. Rogers coffee mug and we talked very fondly about our Mr. Rogers memories. It’s amazing how impactful kindness can be.
I had a strange dream last night that I was in England and found a £10 coin on the ground (they don’t make those), that was shaped like the UK (minus N. Ireland). I was so excited just to find something so different.
10:30
Creating a list of things I want to do over the summer and prioritizing the list. Went to a conference recently and got some great tips for things I can do to make my work more efficient. I’m excited to try some and see how they work.
Noon
Eating lunch in the office again. I hate doing it but there is so much administrative work to be done.
3:00
Saw a high school student today thinking about coming to BSU. Very excited about college and the major. I like getting to see students so excited about the next phase of their life.
6:30
I took a walk. I need to move so much more than I currently do. Making a summer reading list and already worried at the size of it. I’m a slow reader and it takes forever. My mom has always read obsessively. I wonder sometimes if she’s disappointed that I’m not as much of a reader as her. She’s had a lot of physical problems this week so I’ve been checking in with her daily, but she’s slowly getting better. It just takes more time now. We talked about estate planning/living wills, and we both need to do them.
My grandmother’s birthday is tomorrow. She’ll be 96! Unfortunately she’s in a nursing home with dementia. She remembers everyone, just a past version of them (she usually thinks I’m still a kid). My uncle lives near her and takes good care of her. He checks in on her every week and makes sure everything is okay, brings nice treats for the staff, etc. He’s planning a party for her, which I’m sure will be adorable.
9:00
I’ve cut off the book list now and maybe cutting a few more books from it. I’m good at overwhelming myself. One day at a time kiddo, enjoy the moment. Which I think I’ll do. I put out my bird feeder and I really enjoy watching the birds, it’s like a meditation.
