Crowded Calendar

mlerulesJust a few days ago I said something 'bout putting something on the calendar for every few days instead of multiple things scheduled for each day. Well, pretty quickly - as in later that same day - I filled up my calendar with items (usually just one per day, although tomorrow has several errands on't, including a Costco run) for each day through Friday. Saturday's GooCal now has "PLAN NOTHING BIG FOR TODAY" on it.
I hadn't planned to go out into the backyard and stroll around and do some gardening yesterday, but I did. And it felt SO good, both doing it and being able to do it on nothing more than a whim! Greenergy is healing.
Okay, stating here in hopes that it helps me remember and abide by this rule. I need to make sure I don't overload my schedule. It's okay if'n I do more than intended, but I don't want to COMMIT to too much, as who knows when exhaustion'll hit. I bowed out of something that started at 8pm last night. Yay for feeling up for it earlier in the week, but OMG what was I thinking?! At least it was an online thing and I let folks know I wouldn't be joining in, and my presence wasn't needed.
Thankfully, the weather's still mostly chilly and wet, so I don't feel like I'm missing TOO much by not getting out and about more often. The lovely iconic Portland Japanese Garden cherry tree's still a few weeks away from blooming. THAT - and the downtown cherries when they bloom 'tween Burnside & Steele Bridges - will likely get me across the river for the first time this year!
