     (The bad news:  I didn't eat many servings of fresh fruits and vegetables.  The good news:  (for weight anyway). I didn't eat much of anything.  No fridge.  Lots to do.  Eating sort of lost priority this week.
    
Dressed in Real Clothes:   7 days 

Weekend Observed:   4:30 p.m. Saturday to    10 a.m. on Monday.  

Wins for the Week:
   -Actually got my writing done on Saturday and didn't work again until mid-morning Monday
   -Got all ready to go to Mexico-with cat-with housewares, clothes...
   -It was pretty low-stress as far as packing and traveling.  Maybe this is a trend.  
   -Got a system set up to run a projector on the rooftop for outdoor movies.  (Potentially fun social-distance evening with a few friends.)
   -Got set up in Mexico.
   -Got a fridge, got it installed, including an ice maker.  Something we've never had here because we never had filtered water from the lines before.  Score!
   -Some fun evenings on the rooftop.
   -Lots of progress on the house
         -A plumbing leak was repaired.  
         -Problem found and fixed for outdoor faucets.  
         -Old chimney completely removed from the casita bedroom.  Floor repair done.  
         -Rooftop floor work about a third of the way done.  
         -Walls skimmed on upper rooftop
         -Reasonable quote for woodwork projects from Roberto 
         -Lines repair and toilet put back in the back bedroom. 
         -Picked up our stuff from Ralph's 
         -Got a few groceries by Thursday and cooked at home. 
         -Glass installed in skylights in casita bedroom 
         -Alejandro brought the door to the rooftop storage closet. 
         - Did my first Preply Spanish tutoring session with Jelisa, and she's excellent!
         -Outdoor faucets that weren't working repaired
        -Ordered groceries from La Comer-now can eat at home most of the time. 
 

Could Use Improvement: 

     I feel pretty great about what we accomplished this week (especially now I see it all written out - and I think I've left some things off.).

The main thing is I'm moving forward, even on the most chaotic-feeling weeks.
    
     But I felt super-disorganized and confused this week,
    
     I would like to get back to:
           -Eating better
           -Doing my morning check-ins 
           -doing all my writing challenges
           -taking time to make a plan every day instead of just reacting
