Happy Friday! I haven’t done a “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow” post on my blog in over a year, so I thought today would be the perfect time to bring it back. Let’s chat!
Yesterday, I…
- Woke up early to go to my first BodyPump class in over a year. I can’t remember the last time I took a BodyPump class – it must have been early 2018. But my new gym has a class at 5:45am on Thursdays and while I like to try to sleep in on Thursdays (since it’s my work-from-home day), I knew I’d feel better if I woke up early and got in a great workout before 7am. It was a hard workout but felt so good to be back pumpin’! I think those early morning Thursday workouts will be a new part of my schedule.
- Got to snuggle with my kitties during my work-from-home day. Having a work-from-home day once a week has been life-changing for me. It is so nice to have a day at home every week where I can get a lot of work done but also be in my pajamas and spend time with my kitties.
- Had my weekly mom date night. My mom and I have started this routine of hanging out on Thursday nights. It’s perfect for me because it allows me to have some social interaction on my WFH day. (Although, let’s be real, I really enjoy not talking to anyone all day!) We usually go out to dinner and lately, I’ve been coming back to her place to watch Thursday’s episode of Big Brother (and to play with Chip, of course). I don’t know what we’re going to do when Big Brother is over!
Today, I…
- Took the day off from work so I could take my mom to a doctor’s appointment. She’s getting an endoscopy to check out this weird issue she has sometimes where she can’t swallow while she’s eating. It doesn’t happen all the time but it’s frequent enough that her doctor wants her to get it checked out. (Not to mention scary!) It’s likely she needs her esophagus widened (she’s had it widened before) so I don’t think it’s anything serious. Anyway, she needs a driver to take her to and from the appointment, and I’m more than happy to be that person!
- Have therapy. I was actually considering canceling my appointment today because I’m feeling really good and my anxiety has been at an all-time low. I can’t even pinpoint why. I just feel good! I’ve been going to therapy for a little over a year now, and while I’m not someone who thinks you ever “graduate” from therapy, I do think I’m in a place where it’s not as vital to my mental health as it once was. That’s such a great feeling! Even still, I think I’ll continue with monthly appointments (or maybe appointments every other month) because it’s nice to have that mental health check-in and chat about things going on in my life.
- Will celebrate a friend’s birthday with a pool party! It should be a fun night. I don’t know how many people are coming but I do know there will be lots of pizza and a dog to love on. That’s all I really need!
Tomorrow, I…
- Will sleep in! It has been a very busy week and a half for me and I have been looking forward to Saturday because I have no plans. I’m mostly excited to wake up without an alarm and try to sleep in to the best of my ability. (Why does my body insist on waking up early on the weekends?)
- May try to go on a long walk. I’m debating between a long walk or going to the gym. The high for Saturday is 90 degrees, so the gym may win out. But I have to do something active because I need to work out every day from now until the end of the month to reach my goal of reaching 100 workouts for the year.
- Will attempt to put together my gallery wall. This is one of my goals for September and it’ll be nice to mark it complete! (And to clear off my kitchen island, which has been housing all the stuff that I’m using for my gallery wall for weeks and weeks.)
What’s your “yesterday, today, tomorrow”?
I’m really happy to hear that you anxiety is low! That’s awesome! I think it’s a great idea to keep up with the therapy too. It never hurts to have that mental health check-in.
Enjoy your weekend!
Not going to lie – I’m pretty jealous of the pool party! We had to turn our furnace on the other day, so I think it’s safe to say summer is over in my neck of the woods!
Yesterday I made an amazing pasta dinner, so today I’m taking the night off from cooking and ordering in! Tomorrow the husband and I are taking a quick road trip in the morning, which should be good!
Totally jealous of your work from home day! I have some flexibility to work from home occasionally — usually if the weather is bad or what have you — but I would love to have one day of the week where I get to work in my PJs 🙂
Yesterday – I had a hair appointment! I was at the salon pretty much all afternoon, working back to my natural dirty-blonde/light brown after years of dying it a darker colour. It was a long afternoon but I think it will be worth it!
Today – went to church in the morning, to an open house for a house in the afternoon (just browsing, not buying!) and now I am at Starbucks, doing a little bit of blog writing 🙂 Trying to get my life all organized for Nano!
Tomorrow – I’m going to a time management course for work! It’s supposed to be an all day thing but there is a strong chance I get pull back to the office half-way through. We’ll see!
Hope everything went well at your mom’s appointment.
So great to hear that your anxiety is low! What a great feeling!
Yesterday Phil’s mom came over and we went to a park with a cool waterfall. Paul loves water so he was pretty amazed by it! Then we got ice cream and grilled dinner last that night! Today I’m solo parenting after work as Phil is golfing in a charity tournament. I’m guessing we will go for a walk and then I’ll make dinner and put him to bed. Tomorrow our realtor is bringing another realtor by to check out our house/discuss where it should be priced when it comes on the market in Nov. She’s also going to tag all the furniture/items we need to move out before listing it. I’m hoping it’s not TOO much. The next 2 months are going to be an absolute whirlwind between buying our new place and selling our current place!!
This is a fun post format.
So happy to hear that you’re keeping the anxiety at bay right now…. that must feel amazing! I also love that you have a “date night” with your Mom… I wish I could do that with my Mom (or sister, or Dad)!
I am reading these in reverse so I am seeing the deets about your mom’s appt now! I hope it was not a big deal as you thought it would be .
I think that is a great plan for therapy. I agree that you never really graduate. We’d all benefit from those conversations and check ins from time to time!
Did you work on your gallery wall? I can’t wait to see it! 🙂
This is such a fun post idea! Good work getting your workout in early on your WFH day! Every day that I’m not traveling is a WFH day for me now, and I thought I would do more lunch workouts, but I actually find I’m way more productive and feel better if I get my workout done first thing! So that is what I strive for 🙂
