My door is open and there's a...chilly!...breeze. It's that time of year where it's sometimes just a little cool between bouts of getting steadily hotter. I always try to savor it because soon enough "chilly" will be a feeling I try to imagine. Today's agenda includes outlining a long article, drafting & submitting 2 short ones, and making sure I can log in for a conference I'm doing a tiny bit of coverage for. #MondayThings

Today I worked on an application for an interesting training (it's like a fellowship but not called that), finished writing tomorrow's newsletter (if you're interested in #ClimateSolutions, you might like it), did a little bit of outreach, and started a new project. Along with those work things, I'm trying to look after my sweetie who is quite sick. Earliest the doc could see him is tomorrow. Sigh. At least he HAS a primary care doc. #MondayThings

First workout of the week is done. I don't think I'll be quite as sore as last week, but it did leave me feeling more tired than energized (that seems to indicate a mild RA flare, but my rheum would probably disagree). Anyway! This week is mostly about catching up and outreach for assignments to fill my October calendar. #MondayThings #work

I started feeling the pull of depression over the weekend, the gaping black abyss calling me. I'm going to try to avoid falling in by focusing on exercise, nutrition, and a couple of small projects around the house this week. My older daughter turns 31 on Wednesday. That's such a strange thing, but wondrous, too. #MondayThings #SelfCare #TheWeekAhead

It was a bit of a rocky start, but I got to the gym and lifted some heavy things -- even a little heavier than usual! Progression is one of my favorite things about lifting weights, partly because it takes me so long. Now, I've fed all the birds, had breakfast and it's time to get VERY focused. I went from no work to "oh holy moly how am I going to do all this work?!" Which is good news. But also requires focus. Time to get it. #MondayThings #Focus #Work #FreelanceLife

Okay. I'm calling work done for the day. I skipped my favorite class this morning, in an effort to spend more time working. Since that's accomplished, I'm going to do the class online. Then a walk, then dinner, giving the toilet a deep clean (we got a new seat!), and then a bit of sewing. I'm working on some paper piecing which I love but am very out of practice at. #GettingStuffDone #MondayThings
