What's in my toolbox?


Open the lid to find:
numerous gel pens
my only roll of washi tape
multipurpose tool from Creative Memories (handy item when gluing small things).  
pencil sharpener
post it note tabs (used for indicating where collections are throughout my journal 
a green highlighter
a yellow highlighter with post it tabs
my worm book mark
a mechanical pencil
Take out the tray and we encounter the rest of the markers and post it notes in my collection:
50 Artist Loft markers
Creative Memories fine and round tip primary color markers
Creative Memories jewel tone markers with round tip
Crayola glitter markers
Micron black markers in various sizes
calligraphy marker in black with 2 tips
scissors
protractor
the other thing that makes circles...name escapes me at this moment
post it notes in various sizes, ruled and unruled in a good combination of colors
glue dots
cricut cutouts I use as stencils

I also have a pencil case that I take on the road with me.  Some of the items mentioned here are not found here because they are in this case. 

The part I find amazing is that I had most of these items already they just weren't organized or together.  I did get more post it notes and some markers since I started my journalling journey.  Luckily for me finding journal supplies in Nicaragua is not nearly as easy as it is in the first world.

I can say this is enough for me.....I have what I need.

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

Read and read again!

Energy Healing: The Essentials of Self Care This one resonated with me. I could hardly put it down and that is unusual for me with a book in this genre. It all started for me on page 10 with a great composite view of different energy anatomies that had been explained in the preceding pages. For me, it really brought together the Chinese medicine, Thai massage, chakras and aura system in relation to each other. The healing stories through opening our connections to the energy fields of the universe were motivating and interesting to read. The first exercise I tried was the first one in the book "toe tapping". It's a pretty simple exercise so following the instructions was easy. I only kept it up for about a week but I believe I did start to feel benefits. I like to meditate and I am always looking for new ideas. This book provided. I still want to try the metta meditation and many of the other meditations that are throughout the book. I still have a numb...

Another Week

Monday Today I spent $5.21 on ingredients for the lunch I am making for my Tuesday lunch date.  A few weeks ago I made roasted cauliflower with brown butter and linguine.  I did not enjoy it at all and would not make it again.....but I turned the left over roasted cauliflower into soup and froze it.  It is absolutely delicious, I had a bowl for lunch today. Tuesday I bought a cup of tea for $1.77.  I made an asparagus goat cheese toss for my lunch date today.....wow yummy.. I found the recipe on the Canadian Living website.   I will definitely make that again and it was so easy to make. Wednesday NO spending day!  What I did do is finish the third book in The Hunger Games trilogy.  That means I read all three books since last Saturday.  It is a great series even for an adult.  I could hardly put it down.  Now I need to find something else to read.  Any suggestions? Thursday I got gas and took out $20 in cash....so $40 tota...
