over the last week or so I’ve been making sure to have a hot tub each night…

I find that the quiet time in the water clears my mind and makes sleep come easier, last longer, and be more restful…

getting back into a habit is always a bit of a process, lol…

I was so excited when I got a call from my personal shopper (oldest grandson) asking if I still wanted the soap that we’d been looking for since March… I had just started using another brand of foam soap which I was finding had an overpowering smell, lol…

I am a creature of habit and found this particular foaming soap quite a few years ago… it is light and doesn’t really have a scent… which makes it perfect for me…

he picked up three containers so that I will not run out…

hurray…

had a sleepover at the kids…

this morning I took a picture out the living room window of the front of their house… 

 

ignore the bloody footprints, lol… so much brighter with the cedar tree down…  

and now you can see the beautiful birch tree…

this morning we headed out and about to look at tiles and countertops which was great fun… but now I am rather worn out, lol…

this is the front of the house very early on Friday…

  

put out some pass-along boxes, yay… having a box on the dining room counter to pop items in has become a great habit… whenever I get a call from an organization who wants to collect stuff I know immediately if I have enough to pass along, so I’m not running around like a crazy person trying to find stuff… 

this was the front of the house tonight just before I turned out the lights…

  
plastic pumpkins looked cute… didn’t have the energy to put out the usual Halloween decorations… not sure what that was about, although it was much more fun to hand out the goodies with George, lol…

ended up with a total of 17 kids… fair amount of candy left which will need to get out of the house so I am not tempted to eat it…

here’s my final Halloween picture… my youngest grandson admiring the pumpkin his mom had carved with a drill… he was really enjoying the process this year…

 
busy day with lots of fun memories… 

breakfast…

bananas, big girl pants, breakfast, habit, morning, morning routine, shake, strawberries, vitamin D

I don’t really like to eat first thing in the morning… this has been my pattern for most of my adult life…around 9 or so, I would happily have bacon and eggs and toast or potatoes if I had the time…

for quite a while over the last year I was getting up and making a shake for breakfast and drinking it before going to work…

spring came and I fell out of the habit, but was having a breakfast bar or some cheese before leaving home, or else taking it with me to have at the office when I arrived…

then I fell completely off the wagon and wasn’t eating anything in the morning…

for the last few weeks I have renewed the habit… I have been having shakes with bananas and strawberries or just strawberries…

I think I feel better when I remember to prepare and drink the shake and will have to get some more bananas for next week as I am out… I have some lovely frozen whole strawberries which I purchased for the Champagne Bubble Party and they are very nice… although they make the shake into a very cold drink which takes quite a while to get down, lol…

I like to put it in the thermos that I got from Cyndi when I was there in June…

purple thermos from Cyndi...

purple thermos from Cyndi…

I am almost out of the shake mix I was using, which I was getting through a friend who ordered it from the States, so I had to be paying attention to when it was starting to run low… am planning to go to SuperStore as they apparently have a good one which I am going to try…

I do find that a routine in the morning is very helpful, although it is easier when it is light… now when I get up for work I need to turn on a light as it is dark outside… guess it is about time to resume the Vitamin D regime…
