A Healthier Reboot
Day 02

While this is only Day 2 of the 30-day challenge reboot, it’s Day 68 of the COVID-19 Pandemic lock-down. And while the above drawing may or may not resemble how we are all looking now, it definitely illustrates how we feel when we discover that toilet is paper back on store shelves! It’s the perfect image for today’s post, and was the result of yesterday’s sketch/watercolor activities (turned into a Copic marker exercise from one of those adult coloring books).

I did manage to get done most of what I wanted to accomplish yesterday:

✔ steps: 10,144
✔ food shopping
✔ healthy foods only
✔ knitting
✔ Gollum (watercolor/sketch substitute)

Well, maybe only half of what was planned. That means today I will aim for the other half in addition to a few daily goals like step counts. So here goes:

Today’s agenda:

• make ranch salad dressing (from yesterday)
• make tomato sauce (from yesterday)
• pack lunch salads for the week (from yesterday)
• clean a few rooms
• laundry

Today’s goals:

• create weekly meal plan
• create home inventory list (more on this later)
• 10,200 steps (increasing)

Today’s activities:

• a few knitting rows
• a quick sketch
• a quick watercolor
• maybe some guitar practice (time permitting)

A big item that is not on this list that would normally be is the big Spring Cleaning/swap over. This usually consists of packing away all my winter cloths; unpacking summer cloths; removing, washing, and storing away the two extra blankets from all the beds, replacing storm windows with screens, turning on a/c units, starting up the grill, and all that fun “it’s almost summer” stuff. But this year it’s all been put on hold until my move sometime in mid June. It’s getting closer, but the urge is here now so maybe I’ll at least pull out the summer shoes—it’s not much, but at least it’s something.

Now to begin with all the agenda chores. I welcome your comments, insights, encouragements, suggestions, suggestions, suggestions, and invite you to join me in my quest (virtually for now). Let’s start a discussion!

Did I mention I want your suggestions?
