A lot of the time I feel like I'm scrambling at the last minute which causes me undue stress. I've been trying to be more vigilant about doing things in the moment. For example, my mornings tend to be a gong show (don't ask, I don't really know why) and lately I'm halfway out the door before I remember, "Doh! I have to take my medication!" Since Tamoxifen is the primary defense against my cancer, you would think it would be seared into my morning routine. But nope. This morning I took my last pill in the blister pack. Normally I would wait until the morning, then frantically claw through the "odds and sods" bowl where we keep meds and grab another package, all while cursing myself for being behind before the day even started. But tonight while I was heating up dinner I thought, "Hey, why not get a new pack ready to go now?" I still have room for much improvement but I have to say, it feels nice to get things done ahead of time. Case in point, Mother's Day is around the corner and for once mom's gift is sitting and waiting. No last minute shopping! No "crap we need to stop at Shopper's on the way over because I forgot a card". Nope! Not this time pal. I. Am. Ready. Not only that, but I think I've done pretty good this year. I found a very pretty pearl necklace (shown in picture) that I think Mom will really like. It's very nice in person - delicate and not too flashy. I can't wait to give it to her. (I guess that is the down side to being ready ahead of time - some extra anticipation!) |
