📅 Daily Check-in - June 25, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Where on earth do I begin? After a hectic trip yesterday to Auckland and back (approx 6 hours of driving) in horrible wind and rain, I caught up with my cousin (haven't seen her in 12 years) as she flew up to see Mum and Dad given their health decline recently. I then picked up an email from my youngest's school giving me a heads up that the Ministry of Education are sending us a letter regarding the lack of attendance. I started to spin at this point and fired a quick email back saying that we are trying. They now need medical certificates every time he's away - what the hell? First up - I've got to try and get a doctor's appt - that's hard in itself but I'm also dealing with all these differing opinions about how to treat him - none of which are helping with school. I raised it on Tuesday with a GP and the response was he couldn't help with that. Why do I feel as though I'm the bad person in all of this? I'm so frustrated with our education system and our health care system. Words completely fail me!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: ⚡ Energy: 5/10 🎯 Focus: 5/10 😌 Calmness: 4/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 4/10 ⭐ Average: 4.5/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🍬 No Added Sugar ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 💚 Gratitude Practice 🌅 Focused Morning

Just wrote my Commitment Letter and finally saw the pattern underneath everything: my two goals - swimming regularly and sending my coaching school application - are really one goal in disguise. Both are proof that I can keep a promise to myself without a boss forcing me. After 25 years waiting for approval that never came, I realized I have to become my own source of it. Retiring "Calimero." Keeping the spark lit. Not giving up.

Is there any place that we can see what we have earned in credits? Like I got $125 off for doing a video....

Anyone think late nights seem to go into some parallel time zone where the hours just seem to fly by? From the moment it’s already getting ‘kinda’ late and you tell yourself “bed by such and such a time” or some vague connotation of “will stay up for a bit at least”…and then BEFORE YOU KNOW IT…it’s crazy late? Like, really late. Like waaaaaay later than you ever anticipated it would be. Yet…you still don’t want to 😬

Just got partway through this assessment and realized the voice calling me "a disappointment" was never actually mine - I inherited it. The proof? I'm the same person who showed up every single week for a grandchild everyone else gave up on. Turns out I can follow through. I just do it for everyone but myself.
