Happy Monday! I hope you had a terrific weekend. Here’s how mine turned out:
Fun
- Run. Check! Seven miles in total this weekend. I’m off to a good-for-me start.
- Take photos for 30 days of gratitude. Check! And I did lots of thinking about the words. 🙂 Check back for the week 1 post on Thursday.
Done
- In-home organizing appointment. Check! It was a great closet organizing appointment.
- Laundry. Check! Gosh, I did a lot of laundry this weekend. It felt like there was a load in process all day on Sunday!
- Plan meals + grocery shop. No check. Tonight is the night. 🙂
- Make progress on 28 day challenge. A really little check. I put away my very minimal Halloween decorations…which took less than five minutes. 🙂 But hey, every step forward is a step forward.
- Do some paperwork. Check. I spent quite a bit of time doing paperwork and planning the week ahead yesterday afternoon and evening. Nice way to start the week, with the planning already done. Yay!

Maybe this Friday will be better!
well done Aby, especially on the little step for 28 days challenge.
