1. Today is the last day of my sixth Whole 30, which means now I have to decide what comes next. I'm thinking the same thing I always think: it's so good for my energy and self-discipline (and waistline), and so ridiculously restrictive. Probably I add in legumes and some dairy, while keeping grains to a minimum and added sugar pretty much at zero. Probably.
2. I'm also thinking about work accountability. Time-tracking is a good discipline because it compels me to keep thinking about what I'm doing with my life, hour by hour. There's a Slack channel run by some Ravelry folks that might offer a good level of low-dose accountability. I've been hesitant to participate because they all seem like good pals. But probably "would you like an invitation to our Slack channel?" was not secret code for "just don't participate because that would be annoying." I think I'll give it a whirl.
3. In my ideal world, kid activities would not be more than 10 minutes away from my house. Pete's soccer team practices 15 minutes away, out in the middle of nowhere, and I will be very happy when soccer season is over. Stella is interested in taking gymnastics at a place that's 20 minutes away; I don't think I can do that cheerfully on a weeknight. Over the course of my time-tracking week I spent something like six hours driving, including my trip to visit Joe on Saturday. That's, like, three weeks' worth of driving squashed into one for me. There are so many people in this world who routinely drive six hours a week. Probably any of them reading this post are thinking that this sounds very silly. It's good to know your own limits, right?
