weekend coping

Who would have thought the weekends would become so long and stressful? It's hard to get answers and get things done after business hours so Josh and I end up sitting around, twiddling our thumbs, waiting for the week to start again. So in order to counteract my mind-at-rest going completely crazy, here's a list of the coping strategies I've used this weekend:

• sitting on the porch and puppy cuddles
• reading (although I always find it harder to focus when I'm stressed)
• lots of kitty cuddles

• making dinner with my love (one of our favorites: carne asada with homemade guacamole)
• listening to music
• .....which also means singing
• watching movies (one of my favorites is "Something's Gotta Give" but I only watch it every year or two, when I'm really desperate for a good laugh)
• fidget spinner (sent to me from some dear friends)

                                          

• puzzles (until the cat gets jealous...)
• cheering on my nephew Ryan from afar, while he competes (and wins!) for a spot at the National Jr. Olympics in track (so proud of him!)

• coloring
• painting my nails
• messing up my nails and painting them again
• making lists

Not pictured: the disastrous state of my home which I have no motivation to clean. 

So here's to a productive and problem-solving week!
