For me
Jan 19,
This weekend I did several things for me. Just for me. And I managed to rest, Vs rushing through life.
On Saturday I woke up late, without an alarm, instead of waking up at 6:00 am and immediately bouncing out of bed. It was rainy outside, but I put on clothes and my rain jacket, and took the dog for a long walk. We were soaking wet by the time we came back, but it was Ok because we had nowhere else to be. I dried her, changed clothes, and went to the gym. I ran over 6 miles because I wanted to, and didn't have to rush back. I even did some weights, and not once looked at what time it was. The girls were still in their rooms when I left, and Lionel was peacefully working on his computer, so I knew nobody was waiting for me.
In the afternoon, when I got tired, I took a nap. When I woke up I stayed in bed just relaxing, until Bella came up. She brought some of the books from when they were little, and we read a few of them cuddling in bed.
Today I woke up and stayed in bed cleaning my personal inbox, catching up on all the school emails from the week. My Sunday morning activity. After Sofia and I went for brunch and a movie I also went to get a massage. And after that I went food shopping with Bella as she needed some ingredients. We then rounded up the weekend with a family dinner.
So yes, I actually had time to live my life the entire weekend. I can't wait until April.

Brunch and a movie
Jan 18,
Today Sofia and I went out for brunch and a movie. We went to the Dilly Deli, and we were actually the first ones there. That was good because we only had one hour before our movie, and it was quiet enough to have a good conversation.

Ottoman Cover
Jan 18,
The ottoman in our room was peeling, and today I finally had time to make a new cover for it. It turned out pretty good if I may say so myself.

Orchidea
Jan 17,
After months, and months, and months, my Orchidea is finally back. It did not like the move to the new house, but I did not give up on it and it is now back.

Breakfast
Jan 16,
This morning Bella sent me to work with my own packed breakfast. I didn't even know she was doing it until we were leaving and I saw it next to my work computer. It was sweet and sad at the same time. It was sweet that she made me breakfast, but it should have been the other way around.

Macarons

Bella tried to make macaroons today. They didn't turn out exactly like the real thing, but with practice I am sure she can get there.

Mami-Fifi Day
Jan 4,
We could not close out the Christmas vacation without our Mami-Fifi day, so we squeezed it in today. We went to the gym together, then went to the Nordstrom Cafe for lunch, did a bit of shopping for Sofia's room, and then moved her furniture around as she wanted.

Exam
Jan 3,
After a lot of studying, and lots of effort, today I finally got to remove this from my todo list. A huge, huge weight off my shoulders.
