Having a little brain space on vacation, it being a non-vacation vacation, where we just plan by the day and not the week, has me thinking of little things I need to start doing (again, for many of them).

#1, I need to get back on my Synthroid. I was really diligent about it when I was trying get, and trying to stay, pregnant, and even after Ingrid was born, it was really easy to take with one of her night wakings, because it lived on my nightstand with a water bottle, and I would get up and go to her. But, the water bottle is gone, and her wakings are such now that when she does, Dave fetches her and I barely escape sleep to nurse her. Taking a pill doesn’t happen.  And, because of the way you need to take it, on an empty stomach, finding a new window is important, but I think that "right when I get home from work" will be good. I am not one that can put off breakfast, I am a Breakfast Person. I get up, pee, and eat cereal, every day. So, Synthroid. I am definitely feeling the lack of it, I’m tired, bloated, dry, all of the usual….

#2, I need to get more exercise into my life. Bellydancing is one thing, but aside from that, I’m really hesitant to do more scheduled-after-work stuff. That’s when I see Ingrid, you know? I’m going to take some sneakers to work, I think, and try to walk the circle (it’s a mile) at least 3x a week. Small goals, even a little exercise is better than none, right?

#3, I want to start saving more money at ING. I could get much better interest than with our CU, and I just need to get over the "if I’m not putting in $200 with every paycheck, it’s not worth it" mindset that i seem to have. Even $50. or $20. Just sending some that way with every check, so it’s out of sight, out of mind. (Before anyone panics, I already send 10% pretax to my 403b, as does Dave.)

those are the big ones. I’ll have to update in a month or so and see how I did.
