Discipline Pays Off

Monday when I made myself sit down and sort out that floss . . it paid off. I found the floss for Love is the Key. I don’t know why I put it in that tub. Floss only goes in there when I’m finished with a project and I was not finished with that project!

I’m still failing miserably at getting to bed at a decent hour. It’s so hard to stop when I’m in the middle of something. I stayed up way too late last night and when I finally was ready to get in bed, I remembered something else I needed to do before going to bed. It’s a struggle but at least I’m trying. My goal is to be in bed before midnight and once I am successful at doing that, I may move it back to 11 p.m. We’ll see. I’ve always been one to stay up half the night and not need a lot of sleep. My parents said I was that way when I was a baby and it never changed.

Monday afternoon I sat down and wrote out the menu plans for the entire month of January. I’m flexible with it though. Some things will change. I may plan to smoke a brisket on a day when it’s supposed to rain so I’ll have to re-arrange things.

I’ve added a journal (of sorts) this year for my meal plans. Anything that needs a recipe, I’m printing it and keeping it with the meal plan. If things work out like I’m hoping, I shouldn’t have to put so much time into meal planning in the future – just grab the journal, see what I want to repeat, add whatever needs to be added and the menu plan will be done. Vince won’t notice that we’re eating the same things in January, 2024 that we ate in January, 2023 . . will he? 🙂
