It’s Friday! Focusing is not in the bag today. My mind is already halfway across the world, consumed by thoughts of an upcoming trip. I even checked the weather in Europe and noticed there’s a thunderstorm at the moment. However, it looks like the skies will clear by the time we arrive. For now, though, my head is definitely in the clouds, even as I sit at my desk.
I’ve organized my planner in advance so that while I’m on my trip, I can simply fill it out without having to set it up from scratch. I prefer to jot down my daily activities in bullet points to help me remember what happened when I reflect in my journal. However, I’m concerned that I might be too busy during the day to write in my planner. I might consider using my phone to jot things down instead.
Tomorrow, we’ll be packing, and we also need to make a trip to Costco. I need to buy wax traps for my hearing aids, ensuring I have plenty on hand in case I need them. They typically last me about a week. I should probably change the wax traps in my hearing aids now, but I plan to do that this weekend.
Kel picked up some Sonic drinks for the kids, and they’re back home now. Earlier, Kel and Alex visited her dad’s house. I’m still struggling to focus on coding, but I’m managing. I need to complete the forms to renew my health insurance. Didn’t I just do this? Regardless, I have to mail them before my trip, so I plan to tackle that tonight. I think I’ll make myself some hot tea since it’s quite cold in the office. I’m wrapped in a blanket for warmth.
Regarding the health insurance renewal, I completed it fairly quickly—it took me about ten minutes to fill out the forms. Most of the information remained the same; they just inquired if anything had changed. Now I need to find an envelope and mail it. It would have been nice if they had included one. Fortunately, we have some blank envelopes at home.
I’ve been letting my nails grow out since I have an appointment to get them done on Sunday. My nails are quite sharp, which I’ve noticed when I accidentally scratch myself. I’m really trying to resist the urge to scratch my eczema. I suspect the stress I’m experiencing might be contributing to my flare-ups. Although my eczema is relatively mild, it’s still quite bothersome.
I plan to make myself some tea and dedicate some time to working on my coding. I’ll try to maintain my focus for a bit longer.
