New Journeys January WISH 2026

[Oneanne]

A couple things that are thankfully coming to an end:

Living in a messy house. When I get home one of my highest priorities is to hire a house cleaner. I'll have them start with a deep clean then come very other week. Plus as mentioned, I'm ready for a deep purge and getting things re-organized... so excited about this.

Having trouble walking. Moving smoothly and freely is so important to me and I am pleased to be getting back to it.

A couple things that are thankfully starting:

Managing working in-office better so that I have the energy to get out and do things after work so I can meet my people.

I'm going to be growing flowers from seeds again! I've gotten my sweet pea and snap dragon seeds and the dahlia farm is packing their seeds up to ship soon. I've been looking at indoor seed starting systems. I learned so much doing it before and I'm excited to see what I can accomplish on my little deck.

I am thankful that I can stay home all weekend. DD has the flu and I was with her the day before she got sick. SHe had a migraine that we are now thinking was the flu but since she gets them a lot we didn't think anything of it. I was up with stomach issues all night so I am working from home today. I feel a bit off but not sick. I am hoping that I don't get it. Then we have the huge cold blast and snow storm starting tomorrow and going through Monday. It is a great weekend to just chill and relax.

I looking to get rid of 2025. It was a rough year all a round. So not one specific thing.

I am also thankful I stayed home today. Just in case I don't have the flu it sounds like a few of my team are now heading home because they don't feel good. I feel like as I get older I want to shelter more during the flu/cold/covid months.

I have a few things I am hoping will come to an end by the start of the Chinese new year
Thankful that I can hunker down during the snow this weekend and I have the flexibility to work at home on Monday if we get as much snow as they are forcasting
Hopeful that DD’s developmental screening next week is the next stage in her progress of being able to better express herself

FRIDAY FREE FOR ALL

How did the week go for you and what is on tap for you over the weekend?

 

[piglet1979]

The was not great. DD has the flu and I have been feeling off but not sick. So just taking it easy. With the storm coming we are not doing much. We are shopping tonight to hold us over until next week. I do have a hair appointment tomorrow but I should be back before the snow starts. But that is it and I can see that getting canceled.

 

[Oneanne]

Hallelujah... heading home in a couple hours, and fingers crossed get to stay home. It has been a good week. Issues are always expected with a project this complex, but nothing came up that hasn't been solvable and we've moved thru them quickly.

We are supposed to have sunshine at home tomorrow, yah for that. I have my hair appointment in the afternoon so will get out for a walk before then, I've been moving around quite a bit while here and want to keep that up. And the great purge starts tomorrow. It has been almost a year since I moved in so the timing is just right.

And the great purge starts tomorrow. It has been almost a year since I moved in so the timing is just right.

It's so hard to believe it's been a year! I feel like time just moves faster and faster.

what is on tap for you over the weekend?

Hopefully a benefit dinner at the lodge tomorrow night. (So far, our snow isn't supposed to start until Sunday.)

It wasn’t a great week…extended family is complicated. If anyone has some extra prayers or good vibes to send this way I’d appreciate it.

Snow is coming Sunday and school is already canceled for Monday…queue image of Chris Pratt holding off the three raptors. Tomorrow I have to brave the sub zero temps for an event at the karate studio which is in the same plaza as a very large stop and shop…that’ll be super fun
