I'm doing the good ol' start over.
Something I do every so often when I think I've been doing nothing but sitting at the computer all day.
Like a year and a month ago...That didn't last very long...
I think it was just too much.
This time my plan of action:
Make fertilitea
Drink cup of water while water is boiling
Stretch, starting with the bits that ache, my hips, knees and shoulders.
Get dressed,
Make breakfast
Take vitamins
Eat breakfast and drink tea.
On mornings I don't have to be at work early, I'll add in the oil pulling and morning writing again.
After work, before I sit down, I NEED to get back to my daily household chore list. I am going to spend 20 minutes every day on one chore, and 5 minutes on each other chore. BEFORE I SIT DOWN. This is very important! Once I sit, I'm toast.
And once I sit...it's time to meditate.
I hope I can make this work this time.

Baking and laundry on Saturday
So I did my weekly house work list...and Saturday is laundry (that I'm doing with my soap berries!!) and baking.
Today I made granola bars.
Half the batch is oats, and the other half chopped raw almonds, sesame seeds, unsweetened, shredded coconut, raw pumpkin seeds, raw sunflower seeds, chopped 99% cocoa bits (we just happened to have some...next time it will be cocoa nibs!), ground flax seeds, about a cup of maple syrup, a drizzle of oil, a large spoosh of juice, and an egg.
Mixed all together, and baked at 360o oh...for like maybe a half hour? I took it out when it was brown. Check when you can start to smell it. I tend to bake by smell rather than time...yeeeaaa.
OH! I haven't told you about my soap nut/berries yet! I LOVE THEM. I made liquid from them (follow the directions on the web site.) and used them in the laundry. love love love. I didn't use the berries directly because my bag didn't come with a little muslin bag. The usually do, but I think someone stole it in the store.
My clothes are CLEAN. and they smell clean. DO NOT be fooled by the rank smell if you make them into a liquid! it does not stay on the clothes AT ALL. the clothes smell really really clean. We used the liquid in the dish washer too. They work just fine as well! SO happy.
*edit*
I just took my muddy work clothes out of the dryer. Other than a couple stains from before I switched...you wouldn't know they are work clothes. Seriously impressed.
