It’s been a week since I stated working on some of my goals regularly. So far it’s going pretty well. I spent alot of time this week beating the house into shape. Doing the deeper cleaning required to bring it to regular maintenance level. I’m happy to say, I am now able to dust and vacuum only and keep it looking good.

I also started regularly using my Clinique 3 step program regularly. At least twice per day. Sometimes I miss one, but I’m seeing results. Those silly bumps (not pimples, just bumps) are diminishing noticeably, my skin tone is evened out alot.

Yesterday, I got some baking supplies, and started baking goodies to send to Hubby and his squad. For the first time using less mixes and more fresh baked. I made almost three dozen chocolate chip with walnut cookies last night. Really liking having a stand mixer. It makes the dough so much easier to mix.  Also in the plan are brownies, Peanut Butter Blossoms, and sugar cookies cut in Turkey shapes since I can’t send him a turkey on Thanksgiving. I also found a recipe for no bakes that doesn’t use oatmeal, so I’m going to mix up some of those too.

Every day I stay busy is another day that doesn’t drag on endlessly, and another day closer to him coming home. I’m not watching the news, just checking my “official” email. A Day with no emails is another day I know he’s ok. Taking the good where I can find it, and pushing through the rest. I’m not gonna wallow, I’m not going to sit here feeling sorry for myself, I’m going to do what I do best. Support the man I Love.
