how am i taking care of me of late ?????
Permalink  

Every now and again, I like to post like  "what am i grateful for"  or "what did i do for me of late"  kinda keeps me thinking of positive stuff

OK  what good stuff have i done for me???????

 

got a lawn mower that helps me push it so i am mowing my yard now, and getting new exercise and saving money on a "yard guy"

doing my usual exercises with the addition of my OWN portable elliptical machine and i just LOVE watching my you tube stuff and running 3 miles on my "toy"

got my beach towels and my sun screen b/c the public pool is opening soon and I am ready to swim outside for a change..club pool is indoors and i like to be out in sun, but i do love my swimming

when my boss at one of my jobs refused to raise my rate , i just said "ok" and later on his dad who is equal officer asked me "what happened"  i told him his son refused to raise me, kept it cool, kept the focus on me and that it is what it is, and the dad told me that he was going to tip me $50 per month to make up for his son's lack of good business sense  (keeping a great employee happy)  and i told the dad that he always would have my loyalty, dedication and that i enjoyed working for him.....he hugged me and my "tip" starts next friday

give good energy...get good energy....i was never worried about the above b/c i always end up "ok"  b/c I do what is right....

went to thrift shop and browsed and found some GREAT athletic wear, nearly brand new and perfect for work or play as all my jobs we dress casual.....

bought me two lovely parakeets to add to the two i already had....LOVE their chirping and singing...it is so peaceful and cheery listening to them
