I'm loving ...
... that I've gotten back on track with good eating habits this week. It took some work on Sunday and has required me to be pretty disciplined. But I feel better already, so I clearly needed this. I know it's good for my wallet too.
... that I have backed out of some social plans this weekend. I know. That doesn't sound like something I should love, but ... I need it. I have been so heavily booked the last few weeks. I need some downtime. I'm thinking TV/Netflix and writing. Maybe some wine or beer.
... that I reached my reading goals for the month, completing five books. I'm not quite sure how I accomplished that with everything going on, but I did. Two of the books were pretty heavy, too, so I'm really proud I got through them. Come back Sunday to see what I read.
... that the Rangers extended Adrian Beltre's contract through 2016. I adore AB, and he's such a joy to watch on the field. And now we're assured another year. YAY!
... baseball is filling my social media again. I missed it more than I even realized. I hate that I didn't catch many games last season. That might be playing into my longing.
... the mango strawberry Spark I bought last week. I've only had the watermelon and fruit punch before this. But I think the mango strawberry might be my new favorite flavor. Yum!!
So, yeah ... it was hard to find things I'm loving this week. I think the winter blahs have caught up with me. And we're supposed to get 4-7 inches of snow tonight, so ... I don't see the blues going away anytime soon.
The winter blues are kicking my booty right now too - just trying to tread water and survive it! Sometimes it's okay to cancel plans to have that downtime that you need. Hope it fills you up!
ReplyDeleteI've been in a funk too. I'm blaming the weather and the fact that I can't stand outside for more than a minute because I'll freeze to death. My god, is it over yet? Also, I totally get what you mean when you cancel plans and really need that. Sometimes downtime is exactly what the doctor ordered.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!! :) I'm excited about baseball too. So happy to see my timeline full of Rangers tweets!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making "me" time. Thanks to the unexpected ice days, I had a lot of that the past two days. Wish I had been more productive, but I just watched TV the whole time. It was nice though. I really need to get back on track with my reading. I'm slacking. At this rate, I will NEVER finish the Harry Potter series. Lol. I'm on book 5 (I've been on it for 3 weeks). Granted, I haven't even picked it up in two weeks. :) Chance is threatening to end our friendship if I don't finish them. :) Have a great day!!
Yes I agree ladies - yay for baseball!!!!!
DeleteI love Spark! Ineed to order some. I like the fruit punch. I didn't like watermelon. Thanks for linking up!!!!
I'm suffering from the winter blues too. Blah. I have a social obligation this weekend that I really wish I could cancel- a low key weekend sounds wonderful! Hope you get a chance to recharge!
ReplyDeleteMFD loves spark. I've never had it.
ReplyDeleteFebruary is my worst month. I'm just done with not being able to be outside a lot. I enjoy it and want to be outside more.
I think it's good to cancel social plans and take some time for yourself.
Hell yes on reaching your reading goals!
I am so happy about baseball. I've really REALLY missed it too! I'm bummed that I won't be able to go to Spring Training this year.
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled about AB getting an extension too! Winter funks---You need sunshine.
