I'll have to give month's end a 7 so far...still a week to go. I did some good things at work and my boss was pleased...and had a pretty decent Thanksgiving day...a good meal and some nice things happened too. Found some early black Friday bargains after dinner.

I want this momentum to continue into December. And with some hope, into 2019.

As for my weekend...catching up on my rest is the big plan. But also I hope to get some personal things into a better place. If there's time and energy to do it, I'll call it a success.

Cheers all!

Hello Nest, happy Friday to you!

I am glad to hear things are going well at work too!

Also your me-time moments seem to be great and i agree: rest first then if there is energy to work on things you will be ready to face them! Of course 2019 will not get lower than 7...yes? fingers crossed for you!

Take good care for yourself !

Im planning to walk with my husband to see holiday lights in our city and also going to visit more friends.

The best thing that happened was texting greetings to friends for Thanksgiving—I usually dont do that. Sent love bombs for CupsGiving too!

I havent had much free time, but I know my indoor activity is to continue my app for grad school.

This year was a 9.

Hello all! I just discovered and joined this site as a listener yesterday. That's a good thing that happened to me this week. I'm still in the process of checking it out to discover what is here and how it works. But I have had one conversation as a listener already.

I saw an announcement (don't ask me where - still a newbie, remember?) about a video here at 3:15pm. I have no idea how that works and where to look for it. I will figure it all out eventually.

Thanks

Welcome to 7cups as a listener.

That might have been the discussion in the 50 plus room at 6pm EST yesterday but just guessing. I know what I like to do is put the important web url's in an excel file so I can refer to them later and also bookmark them. I also add calendar items that I want to attend on my calendar. Sometimes us as listeners get a lot of items sent to us and referring back to them later when asked about them helps members and even sometimes listeners learn from those web pages. I know for 35+ and 50 plus I have a list that I have collected for badges the two teams can work on that I have been working on for both teams. It also helps build up the forum activity. I also have a lot of the forms that folks ask about a lot on the list.

I'm just staying in this weekend. I'm hoping to get more shopping done for Christmas this week, but places are too busy this weekend. One of the advantages of not having a typical job :) Speaking of which though, I was sent work yesterday, so I'll probably get that done while I stay in so I don't feel the need to get that done Monday before heading out.

I'm hoping to mostly just rest, but I might try to organize a few things within the house. I found out yesterday my husband is going to be gone this week, not too happy about that. He works out of town often, but he often goes in and out or maybe is gone for a night, it's been a while since he's had to be away multiple nights in a row. A bit of a downer as we're trying to get stuff ready for Christmas and I'm not feeling all that great.

The person I was seeing for Zumba Gold classes is doing new things starting Jan, but cancelling Zumba Gold. She has classes going on around now to check out the new stuff, but I don't think I'm up to that.

@AffyAvo

Hi Affy!

So if husband will be out of the city maybe you need to rest the more you can during weekend, so that the coming week will be less hard to face.

so nice to feel Christmas time in the air! Hope you will organize all you want in time!

Ii know what Zumba dance is about but i am not sure what Zumba gold class mean, hope it is something you are enjoying tho!

Living in Florida, not much chance of seeing such a snow scene here. November is always a busy month for me as I scrape together money to pay our local property tax in order to the a discount for the taxes owed. And then after Thanksgiving watching the parades get ready for the onslaught of email advertisements from everyone I've signed up for during the past year!
