Friday

I felt quite productive today. I wrote a list and ticked everything off. I had a declutter 5 things challenge and I really struggled! There is plenty in this house to choose from so I'm not sure why I find it so hard. After much procrastinating and uming and ahing, I picked 5 items and into the donation box they went. I don't miss them when they are gone, so why is it such a challenge? 

I went for a walk first thing. It was quite warm even early this morning, but thankfully there weren't many people around. 

Some beautiful clouds around this morning. Later in the day, the skies turned completely cloudy and we had a few downpours. It certainly kicked up the humidity a bit more! 

I chatted with sister this afternoon. Unfortunately, our older sister's husband's scan showed that he had another spot near his liver and the other spots they were hoping to do surgery on are getting a bit bigger. He has to have more chemo before they can do surgery. Sigh. Not the greatest news. 

What's up for the weekend? 

I've decided that tomorrow I am going to turn off my alarm. I am not going for an early morning walk. I shall see how off kilter that will make me feel. I don't know how to explain it, but I find it really hard to break routines, even those I want to - it's a bit of fear of missing out and a bit of a fear of change. I think I've said this before, but my middle son is on the autism spectrum, and I think he gets some of it from me. I've already decided that this is something I'm going to really work on next year but for now, I'm going to take a few baby steps. 

We'll go out on Sunday, but it won't be far. Just not sure where yet. While I am home tomorrow I am making a list, more fun things than not - it's a Saturday afterall! - but it will make me do more than think about what I'm missing by not walking. 

What are your plans for the weekend?
