Serene September WISH 2025

[Oneanne]

I am thankful for the people I work with on my current project. We can be honest, snarky and inappropriately funny with each other as we navigate the twists and turns.

I am also thankful that my hairdresser is only in town every six weeks or so, because if she was here all the time I would have had her chop my hair off last week. As it is my next appt isn't until November, so I'm still on track with growing it out.

Forrest fire smoke has settled into the area, so the 43% chance of rain this evening is greatly appreciated. No big plans yet for the weekend, I'll have to give that some thought today. Oh, I forgot to mention... on my whale watching cruise last weekend we saw Humpbacks, a Grey Whale (really rare for this time of year) and a small group of Orcas, it was really quite special.

That whale cruise sounds like a success @Oneanne!
Tomorrow the Saturday fall chaos officially begins, haircuts for DH and DS12, soccer reffing, a birthday party. Then work and a bridal shower for me Sunday. Next weekend is similar…lather rinse repeat. At some point I have to break down the garden which was a serious bust this year. Kids are already passing around the first cold of the school year…must be a new record for us in how quick it hit!

Noticed we still have two weeks left to fill for hosts this month and we are kind of short on participants. I can take a second week the of the 22nd if someone else can do the last week

Self care Sunday what’s on your agenda?

Self care Sunday what’s on your agenda?

I did get a good amount of sleep, and I plan to drink enough water today (but it's too early to tell if I will succeed). Exercise will probably be walking in the treadmill, since it's raining out, and for relaxation, I plan to watch a couple more episodes of Wednesday with DH.

Hey ladies, I truly wish that I could contribute this month. I'm barely treading water at school right now. I am up at 5:45AM, leave the house at 7:30AM and don't get home until 7PM. I'm cooking in bulk all weekend in order to feed everyone during the week and package and freeze dinners for myself to eat at school. DD is trying to help, but she is up at 4:30AM in order to be in her store by 7AM. She just got promoted to an executive position running the entire Visual Department at her store, so she is working longer hours too. After my draining day, I soak my feet in epsom salts and ice my back and hips while I scarf down a bowl of cereal for dinner. I go upstairs at 8 PM, shower, read in bed, and fall asleep.

I only have time to check in here once a week right now, so I certainly can't host. I will sign up as soon as things calm down. Thanks for understanding. Piglet, I'm sorry that you have to have a hysterectomy. Follow doctors' orders. Get people to prepare meals for the family. You will need a lot of support and rest. You may private message me if you have any questions. I went through this in my mid 40's.

I'm a 60 year old Mommy, Wife, and Teacher who is seriously reconsidering her life choices.

Being incredibly busy, I have no time to cheat on my diet, and I have doubled my step count since school started. I would like to continue to lose weight, get healthier, and be open-minded to being flexible in what life brings.

P.S. We currently represent each decade from 40-70.

That's cool!

I can do the last week.

Tomorrow I will be surprising DD with these congratulation cookies I made for her yesterday and today.
