week #4
/ during my qi gong lesson on Monday morning I had an epiphany about meditation.
/ on Monday I already had a win: I could give myself a pat on the back for finally making that doctors appointment that I was putting off.
/ last year I wanted to get rid of all my gmail accounts and had an 'inbetween' solution for a while. this was not ideal, so after reading how and why I've migrated from google to proton, I finally made the change to proton. I went from 5 different Gmail addresses to just 2 on Proton. one for my official stuff and one for newsletters and things, so they stay free from clutter.
/ I also started with the research for new cards I'm going to make. in the afternoon I had extra time, because the daughter had a playdate.
/ it was a very successful playdate, because she didn't want to come home when I picked her up. it was her first time playing at a boys house and the mother already wrote me they were having so much fun playing! she finally found a classmate to share her love for Paw Patrol with!
/ it was a good week for the acupressure course. I managed to work on it for 2 days and completed section 2. just 4 more sections to go.
/ my Tuesday morning was filled with adding new things to my blog. it took me several hours (I'm not the best at CSS), but I'm so happy with it! I added a status page and a photo a day page. the photo page just needs an adjustment to fit the pictures for the mobile theme... trying to find out how that works.
/ decisions were made regarding this year's holiday. after looking for hotels for some days, we finally found a really good one! work was also fast with granting me the days off, so we could book, yeah! we will go to Turkey at the end of April and together with the grandparents again. already looking forward!
/ one sad thing this week (okay not sad, but unfortunate): we missed the northern lights! they were visible on Monday evening apparently, but I completely missed the news about it! I heard from multiple people that they could see green and red lights clearly. would've loved to see that!
/ my skin has been irritated lately. I've been breaking out with pimples a lot more (sometimes I feel like a teenager, he he). in the meantime I also started with a new niacinamide serum and because of that, I started to break out even more. but that meant my skin was getting purified (a good sign!). it was time - and a good moment - to get a new cleanser. I ordered the cleansers from CeraVe to give them a try. heard good things about them!
/ the work week was tougher on my body than usual. my knees were acting up big time. and in the evenings I had to give them a proper rest just to be fit again for the next day. I was glad I made the doctor’s appointment for Monday.
/ Sunday was painkiller day for me. the big meeting with the husbands colleagues was cancelled unfortunately. and I tried to keep quiet and rest.
