What It's Been Like Lately

 Here I am again and life has been throwing me some curveballs lately. I'm not happy and not sure what is triggering the sadness.  I am taking my thyroid medicine so it shouldn't be that and I am not sure what is going on these days.

I was going to do a game day stream but decided not to for my own reasons. In the future, I will do a game stream just not this year. 

The holiday was ok but my grandfather made way too much food and I am not a fan of squash. We have a lot of turkeys leftover so hopefully, some will get frozen and I'll try to have eaten some of the leftovers but I am sick of turkey.

This week I am going to make some goals and hopefully reach them even if they are small goals, need to start somewhere. Also, I need to really save up and that means more budgeting which sucks but I have to and not buy yarn or things I don't need.

It's tough being on a budget but I have to until I can get another job. I also don't need more yarn because I have so much and need to finish the projects I have going. 

With all the deals that are going on, I really want more yarn but don't have the money to get any which is fine. My grandfather got a new tv and it makes me want to get one but I am okay with waiting. The tv that I have now works great and I have had it for 6-7 years. I would only upgrade because having a smart tv is great and I can get my apple tv, Netflix, and Hulu on it. I like to stream.

So with everything going on, I still stream my knitting, have not updated my shop and I'm unhappy. I do debate if I should stop streaming altogether on twitch but part of me likes to get on and stream. I only do 2 days a week which isn't bad. For now, nothing is concrete except for the time off I plan to take from December 20th to January 4th so I get a break.

Other than that, not much is new and I have been doing ok. The car is going in soon for inspection then I need to plan on registering my car. 

I think that is all I wanted to say, for now, did a load of laundry, folded laundry, and need to put laundry in the dryer, and I did some of the dishes. Today has been productive.

I hope all of you have a great Sunday and enjoy the day!

Boxing Workout

 Hello! It feels longer than about 2 weeks since my last post but today is Sunday, the sun is out and I feel good. 

I am still tired but I did about 30 minutes of boxing on my Nintendo Switch (it's a demo) but I love workout games. I am not very good at boxing but it's a workout and I need to work out. Planning a gaming stream and Just Dance is on the list so I want to be in shape.

I may do smaller workouts every other day and stick with boxing, Ring Fit, and dancing on other days. Lol, I have Zumba too which I have not done in a while.

Everything else is going well, for now, I am home every day and do try to get outside even for 15 minutes (walking). The weather may be cold but it's good to get outside. I hit my goal to walk 8 miles this month which is great! Now to figure out a goal for next month, hmmm.....

Also trying to drink more water too, made a shopping list for the grocery store next week, and letting devices charge right now. I get paid early this coming week which is nice, that is why I started a list for the grocery store and I go in, get what I need, and get out.

Everyone will be shopping this week, it's Thanksgiving and the store will be packed most likely. Most bills are paid, bought a game for my game stream, and just trying to relax and do some knitting. 

Not much else is going on, need to put some money aside for game day food incase we order out. I am using a friend's computer to stream the games from and plan to do about 4 hours of games.  Hope to get some donations too since I will be gaming for charity.

Will see how Game day will go, everything else is good and I am ready for a nap right now. This could be because I did boxing today, lol. Now to plan the rest of my week for working out and which days and what I want to do.

I am going to relax, watch some Netflix and do some knitting today.

Have a great Sunday or Monday or have a great day wherever you are.

Rain!

It’s raining right now in my town and I was not expecting any rain tonight. It’s almost 10:15pm and we are getting heavy rain from a system moving through and will be heavy at times.

I’m waiting to do my mouthwash before I go to bed and have the tv on Disney+ which I love and love that it also has National Geographic.

Not much is new this week or since my last post. I am just relaxing, did some knitting and bought more yarn. I had received a gift card to JoAnn’s so I bought yarn with it. 

I didn’t get a lot but did buy a Caron One Pound and 2 smaller colorful yarns.

I have many projects in progress so trying to work on them little by little. It’s oils be nice to finish one project before the end of December (that will be a goal)

It’s fun to make goals and reaching them. 

Okay I need to finish my nighttime routine and go to bed.

Good night and sweet dreams everyone ❤️

Hello November

Hello everyone! I have not updated in awhile but things are good. I have been struggling a bit with mental health issues and trying different ways to cope and be more active.

I have been getting out for walks even if they are short ones. I want to talk about an app I use for my walks. The app I use is called 99 walks.

You pay a monthly membership which is about $20 (unless it went up recently) and if you reach your goal, they ship a bracket to you.

I think it’s a great incentive and I do have one bracelet for October. It’s great because you can get a bracket when you reach your goal and it’s an incentive to motivate you to walk. 

You can set any goal, if you want to walk 1 mile then walk 1 mile. If you walk more than make your goal higher.

I have not done any classes but I am closer to reaching my goal this month. Not sure what I will do when winter shows up but you can adjust your goal. You can also walk on the treadmill too and you can put your walks in manually too if you don’t have the app.

It’s worth checking out if you want to get out for walks and be more active, start small and work your way up to a higher goal.
