Can't guarantee it's going to happen all the time, but definitely enjoyed reaping the rewards. 😂 Quote Sunrunner | LVL 4* 153/195 (78%) “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Asha Phoenix Posted January 10 Author Report Share Posted January 10 Week Two: S M T W Th F Sa 📵 - 🟩🟥⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🍬 - 🟥🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ✏️ - 🟩🟩 ----- Yesterday was a good day. BabyG slept through the night, so we had a much better day, though her mouth is still being a meanie butt.... 😕 My phone time was right on the edge for what I want it to be and I haven't been reading at all, so I need to rethink how I want to go about this. I think I just need to remember to leave my phone in a specific spot instead of carrying it around with me. Sugar intake was good. I think I only had one intentional sweet yesterday, so yay! I finished my artwork yesterday (as can be seen above). I'm happy with how that turned out and looking forward to the next prompt coming on Thursday. 2 Quote Sunrunner | LVL 4* 153/195 (78%) “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Cleaned a bit and hung out with BabyG. Started some more sourdough loafs. Decided to try a different variation of how I made the loaf (in terms of resting/stretching/everything) to see if the bread comes out a little less dense than it has been. 3 Quote Sunrunner | LVL 4* 153/195 (78%) “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Wednesday I baked some sourdough and it turned out the best out of the sourdough so far! Some friends who have just moved back to the area came for a visit. It was nice to see them again. Thursday I did some laundry and some organizing. D and I watched the end of the movie we started on Tuesday. We haven't really been ones to watch a whole lot, but it's been nice to take time for just the two of us, even if that means sitting at the dining room table to watch a movie. 😅 I'm hoping to get to some organizing in my room today/next week. Maybe I'll be able to find the sketchbook I've been looking for. lol 3 Quote Sunrunner | LVL 4* 153/195 (78%) “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Asha Phoenix Posted January 19 Author Report Share Posted January 19 Week Three: S M T W Th F Sa 📵 - 🟩🟥🟥🟥 🍬 - 🟩🟥🟩🟩 ✏️ - 🟩 ----- This week has been okay. Sunday we went to go see a house and put in an offer. They counter-offered and we turned it down. The agent we've been working with talked with the listing agent and told us they said that we "called their bluff" and they lowered the listing price; so now we're trying to decide whether it's worth putting in another offer or not. Monday evening BabyG started not feeling well. So far it seems like it's just a light cold, so that's been nice. Most of the rest of the week so far has been sorting through clothes for BabyG and taking care of her.

Friday night D and I watched a couple movies after going to pick up my parents' vehicle from the shop. Not a whole lot happened on Saturday, except some light cleaning so the house looked nice when mom and dad got home from some time away.

Got some organizing done, so that's been nice. Still more to do, but definitely see an improvement. Haven't been drawing a lot and I'm hoping to get into that a bit more, at least enough to finish the new prompt before next Thursday. D and I had looked at a house and are interested, but what they want is more than we can do right now. We had told them that and they were considering our unofficial offer. This weekend they had 8 showings scheduled and it looks like they've accepted an offer. 😕 Guess the house hunt continues...... 1 Quote Sunrunner | LVL 4* 153/195 (78%) “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Lots of snow overnight and an unplowed road meant we stayed home this morning. BabyG loved watching the service and listening to the music over the livestream. Gonna do my best to make this a good week. Was supposed to hang out with a friend tomorrow, but she's not feeling well, so I might check with a friend who lives closer and hang out with her if I can. I feel like I don't get out and hang with people a lot anymore, which isn't terrible cause I know my season of life is different now cause tiny human, but it's also nice to have interaction with other moms who are in roughly the same season of life. 1 Quote Sunrunner | LVL 4* 153/195 (78%) “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.

Asha Phoenix Posted February 4 Author Report Share Posted February 4 Challenge Wrap Up: 📵 - I'd like to really limit my screen time and focus more on spending time with different hobbies and things. Especially since we're hoping to have a house this year (2023) and I'll have more responsibilities around the house than just taking care of our little space. Things went pretty well with this until I switched over to my new phone and I have no clue how I'm actually doing with screentime, but I'm pretty sure it's more than I want it to be. Planning to find a better way to work on this in the coming weeks. 🍬 - I would also like to limit my sugar intake. It's been really bad, especially with the holidays. Eventually I'd like to work on junk foods in general, but figured I'd start slow. Didn't do terrible with this. Most weeks I only had a couple days where I had more sugar than I had planned for the day. Counting that as a success! ✏️ - This one is more of a "sidequest" type goal, but I'd like to check the Inktober52 prompts whenever they're posted and see if that's something I plan on participating in this year. I had planned on it this past year, but ended up not doing it. If I decide to participate, I'd like to work out a plan for what that will look like. Been keeping up with the prompts so far and I've been posting the pictures of my art over in the Inktober52 thread that a few of us have been using. It's been fun seeing how different everyone's art is depending on how they view the prompt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, I think things went pretty well this challenge. I think my biggest thing I'd still like to work on is having a good spot to set my phone while I'm not using it so I'm not on it as much. 1 Quote Sunrunner | LVL 4* 153/195 (78%) “It was difficult to think about worshiping God when so many things were going wrong.
