Leaky Pipeline Bingo Cards

I'm not sure how many fills I'll be able to get this month, but I was curious enough to make a card. I decide to make a card with the People list, and the Resilience Factors list, then combined them on the same card. I'm going to try to use both prompts in the same work, if I manage to make any fills. I also made a three by three STEMZ card. That one is more for inspiration than anything. I may or may not use those prompts, but it will at least give me a guideline for when I'm trying to come up with fills.

(A Late) Weekly Update

So, I should have posted this Thursday but I didn't feel like writing it up, and I was lazy yesterday too. April has been a funny month, not a lot of motivation, and only about 16 or 17 days where I got all of my daily tasks done. I had a few nights where some unresolved feelings from the past smacked me over the head, but I was able to talk it over with a friend and I think it helped. There's probably still going to be some sadness and heartache, but I think the guilt and the majority of the regret has been dealt with.

It was an average week, most of the dailies done, with the exception of the dishes on Thursday. I also didn't post a recipe this week, because I couldn't decide on one. Instead, I just made some linguine, stir fried chicken, stir fried broccoli, mushrooms, leeks, and peanuts, and a garlic herb white sauce. I also made some Midnight Brownie Cookies, and I may still type up that recipe, since it's from the book my mom got me for Christmas. They were also delicious cookies and well worth making again.

My Emotional Awareness goal for April was to work on relationships, mostly in the form of deciding who I wanted to keep close contact with, and who I was okay with being more distant. I got a schedule set up, but I didn't do great actually following it. I'm going to try to keep to it in May and the coming months, and adjust it if I find it's not working. The goal for May is "taking time to relax" and I already have some days marked down to take for myself, so it's looking promising so far. Now I just need to figure out what "fun and whimsical" thing I want to do this month. XD

I'm working afternoons this week, so food will be chicken wraps, and I'm hoping to get caught up on some housework. There are other things I'd like to get done as well, but that will depend on how much brain power and energy I have. And since this rightly should have been the last update in April, I will put my progress on my New Year's Goals below.
