Day 28 - Review - First Grace Day

Today I took a "Grace Day" after a night of insomnia (while my Hubby and Sunny slept loads) and being so emotional and down. Even an enjoyable day of socialising couldn't touch my misery today so a day off to remove guilt on top of all the other tumultous thoughts. Normal activities (and those planned for today) will resume tomorrow, I hope and pray.

Today I:

- woke up the house
- got dressed as soon as I got up
- attended a toddler group with Sunny and my Hungarian friend and her daughter
- had a meltdown in the car on the way home
- was a little revived by Hubby and Sunny's cuddles
- attempted a nap but my Dad was chainsawing right outside my window and even after he graciously stopped, sleep eluded me, as did rest
- entertained my best friend and had a wonderful catch-up and heart-to-heart and a great chat re her upcoming wedding and all the plans and aw so lovely (she stayed so long that Sunny had his dinner while we continued gassing and I didn't have any as my friend was eating later and didn't want any - she was here four-and-a-half hours for "afternoon coffee"). A wonderful lift to my spirits and (I think) I was able to be an encouragement to her as she stresses her way through the wedding plans
- took laundry downstairs and sorted it for washing
- did catechism practice
- attempted a quiet time
- did Swagbucks and Moodscope (3% today, the lowest possible being 2%)
- had lifted out a frozen portion of barley apple cereal yesterday for Sunny and I for dinner (and was very thankful for the no-dinner-prep it provided me)
- ate too many sweets and didn't even enjoy them (at lunch) but did enjoy the many I ate later on :) and the chocolate and the cake, saying that, I still didn't go "mad," by my usual standards anyhow
- laid out tomorrow's clothes
- read the e-book chapter and blog post for the day (thus I am counting my FtP tasks as more or less done)
- made Sunny a podiatry appointment for October
- wore earrings
- tidying time, what's tidying time (more on that tomorrow)
- enjoyed a walk with my best friend as we chatted
- quick-cleaned bathrooms and kitchen
- committed day to God in prayer
- ordered my Hubby's birthday gift
- ordered myself a lovely light pink (a colour!) ladies-cut polo shirt
- had a short prayer time with Sunny after I received a prayer request by text
- wrote this review post and tomorrow's post and
- was generally amazed at what I accomplished despite my depression and emo-ness which has tickled me pink!

Needless to say I did not begin my new task so that will start officially tomorrow!

Nightie-night!
