Five Simple Things (October 6)

Hello.

Here are five things this week.

1. This birthday.

We celebrated Skylar's twentieth birthday on September 30. I still can't believe he isn't a teenager anymore. He has grown into such a wonderful person. I am so proud of him.♥

2. This lunch.

We finally gave In N Out another try. We had tried it several years ago when one was built in Medford, Oregon, and we were not fans. It was bland, dry, and if I'm being completely honest, garbage fast food. This time we were pleasantly surprised. Either something changed, or that Medford location failed us. We enjoyed what they had to offer this time. Even though we are not fast food eaters by any means, we will definitely give them another visit when we are in Salem.

3. These boxes.

This week I received this month's Kiwi Eco Box and Kinder Beauty. My favorite product from the Kiwi Eco Box is the charcoal dental floss. Not many people enjoy flossing their teeth and I hated it when I was growing up, but as I've gotten older I have learned to embrace it. Now I find it relaxing and one thing I am doing to stay health. My favorite items in the Kinder Beauty box is the lemon hand lotion. It smells amazing.

4. These maps.

Covering more distance and getting better.

5. This day.

Skylar and I rode the public transit this week trying to determine a good route for us if we need to use it. We want to try and do better with our environmental footprint. While riding the city transit we had a little fun with the lights, as there weren't that many passengers on the buses we rode. We ended up riding the city transits to the mall and had lunch and rode back to the college and Jeff picked us up. It was a full day of figuring out routes we could take, but it was also a lot of fun spending the day with Skylar.

One last thing:

I've been looking into doing short stories lately and this one was one I made to use with our podcast season two, but ended up going with a different one. I like the black and white feel, but it wasn't "horror" enough, so it got kicked out. I still like it, but not quite what we are looking for with our horror and true crime podcast.

Positive affirmations this week:

Good habits and a set routine are a plus when it comes to dealing with mental health issues. This checklist is a good way to start building some habits for yourself. See how many you already do and how many you can add to your routine that will help you stay focused and on task.

You can do this!🌈
