Today was a quiet day, but I went out to lunch with Smith, and the again in the evening to a science talk in the city, which was pretty interesting. I nearly didn't make it out, because I had a nasty sinus headache, and I was running late ... but I took a couple of sinus tablets, and made it into the talk even though I was late. It was worth it! And then I had dinner with April and one of her friends.

Woops, I just remembered...
... when I swiped my bathroom vanity yesterday. It was after washing my face, and before brushing my teeth! I just forgot to moisturise before I went out.
So add to yesterday...
Washed my face: 5c
Brushed my teeth: 5c
Swiped the bathroom vanity: 5c
Total for Tuesday: 70c (seems I added wrong last time)
I can't add either ... 90c + 20c = $1.10 (new total for Monday :P )
Total for today so far: 70c
I hope these numbers are right now!

Monday, 23 August 2010
Well, today I'd planned to do a proper morning routine including the laundry, brush the hair off the bedroom floor so that Smith could vacuum there, go shopping (we needed eggs, rice and a couple of other things) and maybe make some more progress on sorting my clothes.
I got the laundry done ...
Other good things I did today (not in order)
Food-wise
I had junk food for breakfast :P Apple pie, an apple and a bag of chips. A girl who was organising a picnic told me I had to bring lollies, chips and chocolates, and because none of them are picnic food, we didn't end up opening them on the day. And then I didn't have lunch, and had most of the lollies for afternoon tea.
I ate a proper dinner (Smith made it). 5c.
Also had a couple of glasses of water. 5c.
Self-care:
Brushed and put up my hair: 5c
Brushed my teeth: 5c
Washed and moisturised my face: 5c
Preparing to get things done:
Didn't wake up before 10. I had a large number of vivid dreams, and woke up at 11.
Got dressed to shoes: 5c
Went out of the house, with Smith after he got home from work: 5c.
Marked my calendar: 5c.
Did something planned: 5c
House care:
Swished the toilet: 5c
Swiped the bathroom vanity: 5c
Did the laundry: 5c
Folded the last load of laundry: 5c
Sorted and organised Smith's everyday clothes: 5c
Tidied away my breakfast plate: 5c. Then Smith came up and stole my dinner plate just then, so no tidying away for me ... :P
Taking care of hubby:
Refrained from my bad habit that annoys Smith: 5c
Friendships:
Chatted with a friend online: 5c
Projects I'm working on:
Daily email for a biographical project: 5c.
Writing this blog: 5c
Total so far: 90c. And it's only quarter past 10 pm :) Time for a shower and planning for tomorrow :)

Not a very successful day today.
Woke up about 11, ate a few bits of food without much enthusiasm, mucked about on the computer for a while and had a nap. Went out to vote and had lunch, then had another nap. Maybe tomorrow will be better ...
Drank a glass of water: 5c
Ate a proper lunch: 5c
Wrote my blog: 5c
Total: 15c

It's working, kind of ...
Actually, I forgot to write down that yesterday I did the washing :) And I also had a shower, although I didn't get to bed before midnight. So that brings yesterday's total to 75c.
Yesterday I spent some time reading my backlog of emails from FlyLady. When I say backlog, there were two thousand-odd messages there ... I haven't read them since December. Instead, I read a few, and then took the advice in one of the emails, which was to delete all the rest! They're still available on the BigTent site if I ever want to go and look at them, and it means I'm not spending a huge amount of time on it.
Anyway, one of the motivating messages that I saw in one of the emails was this: "Self-discipline is remembering what you really want." I wrote it on a post-it note, and I'll try to stick to it ...
Here's what I managed today:
Got up before 10am: 5c
Put my watch on: 5c
Had a substantial breakfast: 5c
Got dressed: 5c
Brushed my hair: 5c
Wrote some post-it notes: 5c
Picked up lots of clothes in my bedroom: 5c
Sorted some of the junk that doesn't really belong in my bedroom: 5c
Ate lunch (leftovers and toast): 5c
Had a shower: 5c
Put my breakfast bowl and lunch bowl in the dishwasher (eventually): 5c
Prepared dinner (I cut the vegetables and supervised Smith cooking): 5c
Put my dinner plate in the dishwasher: 5c
Writing my blog: 5c
And it's past midnight, so I can't go to bed before midnight now ... making a total of 70c.
Time to tally up...
