I'm working on the GAL thing. It gets a bit complicated with three little people, but H has been pretty good to help with them so I can go spend some time (about once every two weeks or so) with my friends, including a weekend "girls" trip, as well as another weekend away by myself so I could just read and think.
I've done a fair amount of "retail therapy", and while it feels good, it's time to slow down and pay for a few things ;-)
I started exercising faithfully every morning, 6 days a week, 3 months ago. I am feeling much stronger and better about myself--I wasn't in horrible shape when I started, but have dropped a couple of sizes and that feels very nice.
I have continued my involvement in our church organization, worked on organizing my home, studied up on everything I can think of to help me find the insight and guidance I need.
Unfortunately, right now H is spending every waking moment working on his hobby, so I can't easily take up any new activities that require leaving the kids. I'm thinking I'll plan one big activity to do with them each week leading up to Christmas--just to break the routine and have some fun.
Maybe tonight I'll take a bubblebath.
Anyway, thanks for asking. It was good for me to change my focus to things I am more in control of.
