It's currently March! On March 1st it hailed. A lot.
Yesterday the sun was out all day!
Yesterday I got out on my bike and rode in the hills for almost an hour.
I walked with my friend for an hour in the sun as well. at 2:30 pm it seemed a good time for a beer in a beer garden but unfortunately the pub didn't open until 5pm. I'm not sure if I can make the argument that pubs need to open earlier so that mothers on maternity leave can get a midday drink... it's probably not a great idea. But also, it would have been nice.
Today is Thursday, which means my Rachel weekend is soon over. This weekend-weekend involves a lot of family. We are having an afternoon tea for Mothers Day and I've ordered fancy cupcakes which I am very excited about.
I've had some trouble getting into books this month. I started Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte and abandoned it quickly.
I am hesitant to put more anything into my phone at the moment, and I also don't feel like I have a fully functioning first brain. The book had some interesting concepts, but like Build The Life You Want I needed to spend a bit more time focusing on it and not just listening while puttering around the house. I decided to DNF after 2 of 7 hours.
I finally started reading Birnam Wood and I am getting into it but I think it's long... sometimes it's hard to tell how long something is on Kindle but this feels long.
I should keep reading The Hungry Empire because I bet I will like it but I just don't sit down with a real book often. I could be sitting with a real book now... but I'm blogging instead.
I completed my March page in my Ashley Shelley Planner:
In summary, I'm hoping March is more of the good things from Feb.
- More decluttering
- More writing
- More exercise
- More being outside
- More Vegetables.
- Buy a Fire Extinguisher - done and under the sink already! And I threw away some old mats we don't used from under the sink, so that's decluttering as well!
- Consolidate Digital Photos - I can already tell I don't want to do this and probably wont.
- Continue Photo Albums - Because I do this all the time I should probably take it off the list
- Move the babies to their own room for Naps - I am scared of this one. But it has to be done. I haven't so far because their room is my laundry staging area, but that needs to get fixed too.
We have a fire extinguisher, very small, hanging on the wall. And, I also abandoned the Second Brain. I disliked it with passion. But I know people who liked it but it was NOT for me.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to hear more! I mean it's basically a note taking theory right? I didn't really listen long enough to start dissecting the arguments or anything, but I would be really interested in more of your thoughts.
DeleteI need to add a "say no to" to my planner/journal thingy. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI think the pubs should open early on Wednesdays. That fits within your weekend and it's only one day a week, so how much trouble could it cause?
Yes! It could be mat leave Wednesday! Great idea!
DeleteI bought some nail polish thinking I would paint my nails for Christmas Day. It is now March and that bottle of nail polish remains unopened. I guess I just want to give you props for even attempting nails. Seems ambitious to me!
ReplyDeleteOh - I meant I'm getting a pedicure this month. It's already booked. I was too tired to write "pedicure" at the time. I wish I was a person who painted their own nails, but I am not. I am very excited for my pedicure though!
