In the uneasy battle of mind over purchasing tickets

to Infected Mushroom or Apocalyptica (same place, 2 days apart!) - Apocalyptica prevailed! You never know when they'll be here again; and during my first pregnancy I missed Rammstein's concert who then got retired   are not even touring US now. Life just got better :)

***And then Dr. Chill Jr. earned an extra generous scoop of grilled chicken on our salad, and I started to remember how mommy-to-be's belly occasionally draws nice random perks and life got even a little bit better.

Of other little steps up this March:

  •  I got at least 1 good remote class option for this Fall; 
  • read 4 new books; 
  • had 3 date nights with Von Zobel. Helga's restaurant is definitely the discovery of the month, a place so great it made us feel nostalgic like hell about Bavaria and try to remember all the Apfelstrudel we ate in Vienna. 
  • Registered as, basically, a volunteer for the practical part of my side projects. Found a handful of good education books. Added up the prices and decided to shuffle them into a wishlist for now. 
  • Did a little improvement of our backyard's feng shui by chopping down all dry and dead grass, shrubs and bushes. Now, at the end of the month feel very happy I did that as the backyard looks green, not desert yellow and grey.
  • As a side effect of the backyard cleaning, Dr. Chill learned to pick up pieces of debris and take them to the trash bags. On his own initiative, yep.And help vacuum and clean the garage. 
  • Did a little improvement of our house's feng shui by getting rid of some old meaningless dust collectors, buying 2 new great blankets and washing the spare guest blankets (could be considered a whole separate project). Now I'm craving a green plant with white flowers in our bedroom :)
  • Created a new schedule for the next few months and surprisingly, was able to keep pretty close to it for the first 3 days. 

If I had to set one time management goal to set for April though, - or one mind set to keep, or to ask Universe to align stars for - it would be to focus on only studies, work and family. Pregnancy workouts, as well as walk, learn and play time with Dr. Chill would fall under "family" here. I'd dare to even throw in enough sleep into "family", as it's definitely something the baby wants :) The bottom line though would be - to spend less time on running errands, doing work around the house, deal with any unexpected problems as they come up or any issues that consume amount of time disproportionate to the value of the result. Dear Universe, what do you say? You do your part, I do mine?
