reflection

so a superpower of creating something out of nothing.  or anything.  something amazing out of anything.

that's a good thing.  The down side would be the fabrication of something out of nothing.  A story of a slight, a mountain of a molehill, a relationship out of a glance, a something bad where there was nothing.

Reflection on yesterday.

What went well?  ( I was about to start with lambasting myself for all sorts of things! habits! but let me focus on what went well instead.  Because there is stuff there!)

It was  lovely day.  I was primary childcare person yesterday.  Bub and I went to the cinema to see a (meh) film called Boss Baby, we had  a yummy lunch at Wai Kika Moo Kau.

I remembered to buy vegetables for our roast and pop into Archers  on the way up the hill.

The weather was good.

I took Bub and his friend B to the park, and they had an excellent time.  I enjoyed sitting in the sun and thinking about stuff.  I figured out that the very next step for the back room  / House Beautiful project is to measure for the carpet and google local places that might do off cuts.  Its a teeny room so I am hoping that somewhere will have a better carpet than I might otherwise want to spend money on in the form of an offcut.  Then I need to find a carpet fitter and book that in.  Before the carpet fitter comes, I need to have had the room painted.  I have put some time in my calendar to prep the room and get the paint I need.  I need to google the chap who goes to Ikea for you and get 2 sets of Billy shelves.  Desk and shelving need to be aquired and built in. And a chair.  This is going to be a Hub den and spare room, so am thinking that a more comfy Hub chair might be a good idea.  And maybe a tartan blind, rather than curtains.  Hmm.  Another thing to fix.

Had a nice chat with B's mum and then after dinner we all went to the Hanover Pub with them for a few drinks.  Had a meaty chat about the election and the state of education in this country and came home and watched 2 episodes of Catastrophe.

I did do 20 mins meditation.  I wrote my reflection and I read some stuff.  (am reading a book about education / how to be a good parent by Michael Rosen) I walked  - i reckon - at least 10,000 steps.

I read a really useful blog piece by Ebonie Allard about the 4 stages of business.  It was a link on FB so I need to find that and link to it here.  

Could do with some work.....

I am no longer doing the MM and I feel pretty shitty about it.  I am also still feeling ill.  Which is my excuse on that whole thing.  I did do some of it.  So.  the improvement action is to slowly get back to the whole thing. Am writing, reading and meditating.  Pick up with the exercise and the visualisation.  Also timing.  Am lax on that, which makes me feel sprawling and disorganised.  So if I time things, I can achieve stuff in less time and feel better about it.

I need to charge my fitbit so I can tell how many steps I did.

today if I do nothing else, then I do need to do some marketing for my Wild Art Journaling - now I have times, but I don't have clients yet!  More of that needed.

I want to get a folder for my learnings on business together so I can keep track of it all.
