Day 29: What are your goals for the next 30 days?
Goals:
Get back on track with the renal diet in regards to meal planning. I do pretty well, but the last couple weeks I’ve not been as careful with the recipes I pick. Troy’s numbers (potassium, phosphorus) have been good, but could be better. Do you have any idea how hard it is to cook for a man who doesn’t like vegetables but can’t have dairy, potatoes, tomatoes, or a million other things? UGH.
Get more sleep. Troy’s switch from a 7 PM dialysis to a 4:30 AM spot has really thrown me off. Getting up at 3:30 AM three days a week has really screwed up my sleep schedule. The smart thing would be to get up at 3:30 every day but good lord. I’m up at 4:30 already.
Get back into exercising regularly. This ties into the one above. I’m not sleeping well, so the energy needed to exercise is absent.
Write every day, even if it’s only 100 words.
Read every day, even if it’s only a chapter or a few pages.
Get caught up with my Netgalley ARCs because they are overflowing (although I did manage to finish one over the weekend).
I think that’s enough for now.
Day 30: Your highs and lows for the month.
Ugh, there are so many. I’ve had some shitty days at work due to selfish, self-important, jackass men. I’ve had some shitty days at home, too, because the dialysis takes its toll on my husband and sometimes turns him into a raving asshole.
I have had some good days, too. The cats constantly make me laugh. I’ve read some good books, seen some good shows and movies. My older girl is almost done with her first year of college. My younger girl is almost done with her junior year of high school. Troy is officially listed on the transplant list. His mother has started her testing to see if she is an eligible donor. There are lots of good things happening.
Some days, I let the bad overtake me and I don’t like when that happens. But then, sometimes, it’s what we need. Stop, have our pity party, pack up, and move on. I’m hoping that things continue to improve as we move into March and the rest of the year.
Oh, and for anyone interested, I’ve found two other memes to help me write more often so be on the lookout. LOL
