Navigating November 2025 W.I.S.H. Thread

As I mentioned yesterday, one of the items on my list of top 3 things to manage better was my relationship with a co-worker and I think we had a break thru yesterday, so woohoo for that. And woohoo for a short work week.

Woohoo I finally made it to the grocery store last night. Being out of town over the weekend really threw off my holiday countdown plan and I hadn't done any shopping. I decided to get as much as I could at my local grocery store, so I got off the bus at the store and then walked home. I got everything except for a lemon, so will need to pick that up tonight. And woohoo that I only spent $150 of the $200 I had allocated... having to carry it all home helped me keep things under control.

Woowhoo I am off today and thank goodness because lots to do. DS13 had an eye dr appointment this morning then I’ve been trying to cook and pack for the weekend away. We don’t host Thanksgiving but I do two veggies, sausage bites and made some cookie dough for some fresh baked cookies for dessert. Trying to do this while keeping an eye on DD has not been super productive. At least all our cold weather stuff is in one spot so even if I shove that all in a bag unorganized it will be ok. Worst case our hotel is near a shopping center and they are right outside a ski town so I’m sure I can find anything we might forget even if it’s a bit more expensive than it would have been at home. Every time we travel I say I am going to pack light. Meanwhile I am telling the boys to grab double the underwear they need and I have so many gloves and hot hands it looks like we are heading up Everest
