Good Morning and Happy Labor Day!
Cathy - Happy long weekend, LOL. I love this Habit of the Month, Before Bed Routine has really made a big difference in my life. Clearing dishes off the counter & out of the sink and getting my clothes and such lined up for the next day makes it so much easier to get going in the morning. I update the white board on our refrigerator to show errands, appointments & meds that need doing in the morning.
Monday possibilities:
--walk or workout ✅
--groceries ✅
--practice cello
--decluttering x 15'
--practice tap ✅
--evening routine ✅

I am loving the long weekend and have tomorrow off too. I totally agree with you about the before bed routine. Since our DS lives with us and is 34 years old (haven't been able to get a full time job) he is in charge of dishes and setting up coffee. I fill my rx containers on the weekend and take to work on Monday and I do lay out or look in my closet to know what I am wearing. My goal for this month is to take some time before bed to walk away from the TV and any online stuff and destress with reading or just calm thoughts. I do also make my breakfast and lunch every evening after dinner for the next day. Monday possibilities Learn how to use my Fitbit Groceries pharmacy  Decluttering x 15 (already did 3 dresser drawers) Laundry (my goal is to wash, dry, and hang up the one load all in the same day) Make cards Fill rx containers Evening routine |

Carol: FYI - Starbucks pumpkin scone is 22 points. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!! I need to look up some healthy recipes using pumpkin because I LOVE PUMPKIN (in sweets not savory.) However, I actually haven't tried a lot of savory pumpkin recipes so maybe I should. I went to a grocery store and couldn't find any pumpkin in a can except organic. They said they hadn't gotten any since Covid 19.  Weekend possibilities (going to try and be a little more realistic with my list) 2 hour Zoom Conference Get flu shot Grocery store Buy ink for printer Update budget Put up some Fall decorations Declutter 15x Make card for cousin Evening routine |
