Daydreaming while waiting impatiently!

Two naps today. I plan to sleep extra tomorrow. And bump my bedtime an hour earlier.

I restarted using cronometer app to plan and track what I eat. It helps me adjust my supplements. I kept most of my good food habits, so I'm moving to a new step - getting omega-3 up and omega-6 down, without using any foods/supplements that have been heated. (Omega-3 are delicate, prone to oxidation.) I can hide chia seed in my tomato sauce/stew. I'll try hiding whole flax seed in it also.

I got a Polar heart monitor chest strap to measure heat rate variability. It's a measure that's relevant to my heath/fitness needs. Lots of room for improvement...

I've been slacking on 4-H a bit. Gotta up my self-care so I can carry on.

Sounds like you got a good grip on 2023 and are off and winning the race.
I lov what you do with 4-H and at the shelter.

my sleep schedule got kinda screwed up for a few nights but i slept well last night so that will help. good luck with all those projects. i need to take a nap after reading a lot of your posts, you're a lot more active and productive than i've ever been. i ration my physical efforts... and a good friend of mine said i was one nap short of a coma, but what does he know? i'll tell you after i wake up...

I like your friend's sense of humor! Witty!

I think what I heard you say is that you have mastered pacing yourself. Not a small feat!

Good news:
(Pending contingencies), DH is buying a much larger building for a satellite vet clinic. It's 10 miles from the original vet clinic. I'm happy because I'll get indoor space for my dog training business.

Bad news:
MIL was finally diagnosed. She has multiple system atrophy. It's a dysautonomia condition (so it has lots of overlapping symptoms as what I experience). But its more severe, progressive, and life-threatening.

TY. We will visit this weekend. I worry how she is holding up emotionally. It's a devastating diagnosis.
