Sore

My 30 Day Goal is:
Do at least 2 strength workouts each week.

Current Thought:
Unfortunately we didn’t score yesterday’s peal. Not the conductors error, but everyone else’s. I don’t think any of us escaped error free, some more catastrophic than others. We were coming up to the halfway point, when it went irretrievably wrong and was stood up. I had some time to kill then before going on to help judge a striking competition, so the other judge (the peal attempt conductor) and I were invited for coffee round someone’s house. Their house was immaculate. Everything put away, nothing cluttered on surfaces, no papers anywhere. It looked clean, yet homely. The garden was lovely and still had lots of roses blooming. House envy! There were 7 teams to judge, and all went well. We were sat outside and it stayed dryish, only a couple of spots of rain. As a reward I was given a bottle of wine and T was given chocolates, as he doesn’t drink. Home by about 6pm. Spent the rest of the evening reading and relaxing.

Current Emotion
Sore.

Todays Standard:
I am a woman who:
has some admin that has to be done today. More ringing this morning, finish the ironing pile, another peal attempt this afternoon, then food prep for next week.

Todays Sweet Spot:
I think:
The admin should be family straight forward. So should the ringing this afternoon. Chores that neeed doing will get done, then I’ll have some down time.

I feel:
Sore across my shoulders. Probably a combination of DOMS from Friday’s workout, and yesterday’s ringing. Hoping it’ll wear off for this afternoon.

I do:
1) (body) walk into town. Ringing this morning, then another 3hr peal attempt this afternoon.
2) (mind) admin to be done. Keep mind on the method this afternoon.
3) (soul) Find time for some self care and relaxation. Preparing healthy foods for the week ahead.

Future Self Pep Talk:
We are not victims of our situation. We are the architects of it.

Celebrations/Gratitudes:
I had an enjoyable afternoon judging the competition with someone other than C. It was nice to be asked, and not as a sidekick to C.
