Disaster Diaries: SAVERS, Schedules, and a Protein Shake Explosion

Welcome back to Disaster Diaries from The High-Functioning Disaster.Today’s entry is peak real life: an 11½-minute all-in-one SAVERS (Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, Scribing), a last-minute caregiving pivot for Mom’s appointment (with brain testing Friday), and a bummer reschedule with guest Noah May (Lethal Venom). On the bright side, the house was quiet (dogs at playschool), which helped Sacha re-record her Bari Story for Life in the Bari Lane 🎉There’s a cozy nap-while-reading moment with The Total Money Makeover (Chapter 3: Debt Myths), a side-quest about credit culture and why pricey things (hi, Tupperware) can be a tricky sell when budgets are tight, plus pure movement joy: yin yoga last night, ongoing Pilates soreness from Monday, and a plan to mix “Paiyo” later this week. Also: tangible decluttering wins (the Kallax top is dusted and styled) and a sweet FaceTime with her brother.Final scene: an Oikos protein shake that wasn’t thawed enough… and detonated all over Sacha, the mic pop filter, and half the desk. We laugh so we don’t cry. Onward. 💪Mentioned in this episodeThe Miracle Morning (SAVERS all-in-one)Caregiving updates; brain testing scheduled FridayNoah May — host of Lethal Venom (interview rescheduled)Life in the Bari Lane — Bari Story re-recordedThe Total Money Makeover (Dave Ramsey) — Chapter 3, Debt MythsYin yoga, Pilates soreness, “Paiyo” planOffice declutter (Kallax win)Oikos protein shake… misfireSupport the showVenmo: venmo.com/sachasmellsScentsy: sachasmells.com (shop, join, or request a personal shopping link)🧭 Key TakeawaysSmall, consistent rituals (SAVERS) can steady chaotic days.Caregiving requires flexible schedules and generous self-grace.Re-recording &gt; ruminating — ship the work you can ship.Debt “tools” deserve scrutiny; simplicity often wins.Movement can be gentle and still count (yin now, “Paiyo” later).Declutter one surface, feel it everywhere.Always thaw the protein shake.
