SELF CARE SUNDAY

Today's self-care reminders are just what I needed, especially this one! -

MOTIVATION MONDAY
I’m really leaning into Christmas vacation mode. I keep forgetting what day it is. I have watched way too many Netflix Christmas movies, eaten too many cookies, and have been drinking more than my share of cocoa. I have accomplished very little, and I am okay with that.

Good Morning! I got 17/20 on the quiz. The ones I missed I have never seen. We watch a ton of Christmas movies but typically not the older ones. I have never see Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life.

Last night was a rough night. I really didn't sleep much at all. My back and hips are killing me. I have had issues with my hips for a few years but they got worse after the 5.5 hour drive to and from Kentucky. Sitting in the car that long just made it worse. Right now with the pressure dropping outside it is making it worse as well as my back. We have now dropped to below freezing and the wind is howling and it is starting to snow. I have no plans to leave this warm house today.

Happy belated Christmas everyone!

I had a wonderful holiday, starting with the trip up to Victoria. I had thought that there might be a special Christmas menu for afternoon tea, but hadn't thought about the town being decorated, so when we walked out of the hotel to go to dinner the first night and the lights on the boats and the state house where all lit up it took my breath away. We had great food and wonderful service the entire time we were there.



The cabin time was also wonderfully lowkey and relaxing. The cabin we stay in is behind the big tree to the right of the lodge, so nice and convenient to wander over for breakfast and dinner.



As for motivation for this week... we had such major astrological things happen between the Solstice and Christmas and now is the rest period. No planning or manifesting is to be done yet, so I'm just chilling. Thinking but not doing, except for a ritual I started on the Solstice where you write down 13 wishes on slips of paper, one for each month and an extra. You pull one each day and release it to the Universe by burning it, then on New Year's Day the one that is left is yours to handle. Also on New Year's Day I'm going to listen to the recording of the card reading I had and write down notes, since the theme I had asked about was the coming year.

Quotes for the end of the year:
Are there any quotes that you can relate to or that makes you think or feel something?

Here’s some that I connected with.

Y'all are being so inspirational, my "inspiration" lately has been pretty snarky:



OK... a couple that are a little more inspirational:

The ones about a bad year and having a good new year, spoke to me and put tears in my eyes. This was such a rough year , really a year and a half, and I look back thinking how did I make it without completely breaking down. I am willing a good year and will be doing all of the superstitions to make this happen.

 

[Summer2018]

I’m enjoying everyone’s quotes. Hopefully I will feel lighter in 2026 and be able to post silly quotes like Oneanne. 2025 (and half of 2024 since my brother died) has felt very heavy to me…at home and at school. I am ready to say, “Goodbye” to these last 18 months.

Thanks for the lightheartedness. I need more laughter and less worry…more faith and less fear.

We just dropped my daughter off at the Amtrak station. She is headed to Boston to fly to London to see her boyfriend for a week. Last night and this morning was very stressful leading up to her departure. I feel much better now that she’s on the train. She’s in God’s hands now.

I know I’ve posted this one before but it really has been my mantra the last few years

WOO HOO WEDNESDAY
WOO HOO!!! 2025 is coming to an end!!!!’

 

[Summer2018]

Woo Hoo! DD made it safely to London! At 3AM, I woke up and saw that she had arrived and texted her. She called me from Paddington Station, and we talked for an hour while she took the train. She loved flying out of Boston Logan airport instead of New York’s JFK. It was much calmer than she is used to. Speaking with her was a gift because she will be very busy with her Love and his family to do more than text for the next week. After we got off the phone, I fell back to sleep .

Now I can relax and enjoy the rest of my time off.

Woohoo... 2025, year of the Snake and a lot of shedding and path clearing, is drawing to a close. It is also the end of a 9-year astrological cycle, so a big transition. 2026 is year of the Horse, which will carry us forward... looking forward to it.

Woohoo... yesterday I watched a live stream from Magic Kingdom's New Years Eve Eve and tonight it'll be a live stream from EPCOT's New Years Eve, which was a lot of fun last year. I'll start taking down Christmas and resetting the living room.

Woohoo... I'm working from home today which always feels a bit like a day off because I can sleep two hours later and the workday is done at 4p, instead of 6p, when I get home for an in-office day.

 

[ShannyMcB]

Busy few days with appointments but Woowhoo for progress. DS13 has an appointment for wisdom teeth removal next month and DD is starting developmental screening so we will have an official diagnosis on the outside chance we ever run into an issue with her iep
