Anyway, we made it there almost on time, but the doc was even more late than us, so she didn't notice! LOL! Lesson learned: always double check your calendar on Sundays!

Busy weekend

Yesterday was absolutely packed, but with so much fun in there that I enjoyed every minute of it.

I got up, exercised (which is something I don't like doing on weekends! Yay for me!), went to Strasbourg grocery shopping, stopped at Ikea to get new boxes, had lunch with my friend Laura, Jaime and their daughters Regan and Riley, came back home, took pix for work, shopped some more for Laura's mom (chocolate mousse she can't find in the US), put away groceries and picked up home, started a load of laundry, took pix of another event for work and had dinner with Laura and her family. It was just a fantastic day and we had a great time together. I will probably never see them again since they're moving back to the US, so I really enjoyed to be with them one last time!

Today is much more quiet, but really enjoyable too. So far I built up the boxes I bought yesterday and organized my office, read and relaxed, unload the laundry and washed another load, pampered myself a little bit, cooked and ate lunch, got caught up on my RSS reader and browsed the internet a bit. Here's what I want to do before tonight:

Goals review

Here were my May goals and my success percentage in each one:

• Personal stuff: happiness project 5%
• Healthy living: 20 minutes workout every day 95% (until my IUI, after it I didn't take the risk) and track food at least 15 days in the month 0%
• Job: create procedures and routines 20%
• Finances: check with banks to see if we can set up a better system (fees, practical side, ...) 50%
• Housework and organisation: reformat computer 100% and practice evening routines 50%

 Well, that's far from great, but as FlyLady says: progress, not perfection!

Here are my goals for June:

• Personal stuff: happiness project let's try this again!
• Healthy living: 20 minutes workout every day (unless I'm post IUI)
• Job: create procedures and routines
• Finances: long term stuff
• Housework and organisation: practice evening routine and digi-decluttering

It's gonna be a busy month at work, but I can do this!
