Virtual Birthday

mousme It's my mother's birthday today, so I suggested we do a virtual birthday party, and it was very nice indeed. My father ordered food from a local restaurant for them, and I made myself a simple but nice dinner of steak, baby potatoes, and asparagus.
In news that will surprise no one, I have found that I overall take better care of myself when I go to bed at a reasonable hour. I am better about brushing/flossing (oh, flossing, why must you be so boring?), can put out my clothes for the next day, and wind down nicely in a way that makes me feel ready for bed and not rushed or like I only have just enough time to pass out.
Tomorrow I'm going to work but I've "booked" the day to work on employee evaluations, so mostly it will just be me hiding in my office and not answering my phone and trying to ignore my email except at set intervals. I want to get them all done tomorrow so I don't have to worry about them later.
This weekend I'm going back to KK's house to continue helping her clear out stuff on Saturday, and then Sunday I will be doing the same except in my house. I should probably make a plan for what I'd like to accomplish, but I'm also really good at making plans that make me feel all optimistic (yay dopamine!) that I then don't follow up on, so... I don't know. I may try a different kind of plan, one which involves fewer lists and maybe resembles cognitive behavioural therapy homework a little more, by listing where I think I might encounter feelings of resistance and figuring out how to work through them.
We shall see. Stay tuned for more thrilling updates! ;)
