Not much time for de-stressing or feeding my own soul. After meeting the demands of my job and my children, I tend to have run out of money and my allotted 24 hours.

However, I am trying to change that. Two things I love to do are genealogy and refinishing/repurposing furniture and spaces. I also like to wander through thrift stores. I am hoping that while I am off on medical leave this summer, I can do some more genealogy and can work with my kids to get our house better organized so I have space to do some refinishing of the cool furniture I find sitting out for the curb for garbage pick up. My daughter also wants to be able to do this along with her love to sew (another space I want to set up for her while I am off). Mostly, I will have to be the brains and the pocket book for this program since my activity will be highly limited as I heal so I am dependent on my kids having time to help. The genealogy I can do independently.

Time to myself and rest.

I've also found that multiple trips to the grocery store with a short list each week after work is helpful. It provides a slow, casual walk through the store, a transition from work and home, and fresh food because I buy smaller amounts more frequently.
