Haven't Worked Out All Week. I Did Write A Short Story. Didn't Write My Report. Kinda Lost.

ᏍᎩᎦᏚᏏᏁ ᎠᏅᏱ - Sgigadusine Anvyi - March 15th

ᎫᏩᏯ/ᎧᏩᏯ - Kuwaya/Kawaya - blueberry, huckleberry. 🫐🫐🫐

ᏣᎳᎩ ᏔᎷᏣ - Tsalagi Taluj - Cherokee basket

Cherokee double wall basket purse, braided cotton cord strap, commercial shell flowers, bear stone button. Worked on and off on this for about a week.

I got the idea from the strawberry baskets I have seen various weavers make, I may try one of those next. The woven flower was difficult but I enjoyed it at the same time, stems are getting easier to sculpt. I don't really like challenges, I've had enough and I'd like my life to be easy so this is a nice way for me to work on that intolerance. Blueberry and Huckleberry are the same word in our language, you may find a dialect difference.

Was given a note from my partner today. I'm not sure how I'm feeling after reading it. I know what is being expressed but my knee jerk reaction wasn't to their desire. My reaction was self centered. I haven't spoken or seen them since reading it. I'll read it again at lunch and before I go home. Really need to consider what to do with this information and decide how/if I should respond.

Today: 1/7/2025

Walked at lunch. It was cold. Step goal complete. One load of dishes complete and put away. One load of laundry complete and put away. Assignment started, discussion post complete. Still need to do responses to two other discussion posts.

Reflection:

House seeing benefit of three day consistency. Encouraged to try to add more tasks. More tasks are needed. Worried about barriers popping up and derailing routine before it's built habit. Worried about taking too many tasks on in a day and burning out. Getting really really cold. Worried I won't feel like working out tomorrow. Need to maintain trigger of coming home, changing clothes, going to the garage and doing something. Doesn't matter what it is as long as it's physically moving my body for 20 minutes. With this new term worried that school is going to derail other priorities. Three days in, have maintained consistency so far. I'm worried that I won't maintain it. I need to keep these small steps going until they're habit. Before adding additional habit steps. A little bit everyday.

Plan for tomorrow:

Won't have opportunity to walk at work. Going to be facilitating training session during lunch hour. Attempt to do A thousand steps before work tomorrow. Need to complete one additional paragraph tomorrow on assignment. Do one load of dishes and put away. Do one load of laundry and put away. 20 minutes of physical activity after work. Ask for help for additional cleaning tasks.

Ok. Long time since I've posted.

I had some great weeks working out three times a week. Awesome!

Not so great with house work and even got behind in school work. But, I'm caught back up and trying to maintain again.

Let's see how this week goes.

“A look back to the 1964 Navajo Nation Fair ❤ The Navajo Nation Fair was initially started in 1937 as an opportunity for our Diné people to unite and gather for a couple of days to socialize, race horses, compare each other’s harvest, have something positive and enjoyable to do rather than just dealing with the Depression, stock reduction, unemployment and having their children hauled off to boarding school. Be proud to be Diné!”, Southern Navajo Nation Fair
