Thanksgiving

Image result for thanksgiving


As I said, today was a busy day for my family. Everyone was running around getting ready, going from one food festivity to the next. I babysat my nephews which meant playing light saber battle, video games, tag, chase, watching TV, and more. And yet, amongst all this busyness, I couldn't shake this feeling of being sad. Sad to the point of wanting to burst into to tears throughout the whole day. I couldn't begin to tell you why either.

We eventually got to my aunt's house where the majority of my large family gathers to give thanks, eat delicious food, and catch up with each other. As always, this was the highlight of the day. There are so many blessings that we have a family so it is always nice to see everyone and share stories.

I did dress up and did my makeup and was generally awesome. However, I took no pictures of this on my own technology so I have to wait until other people share the pictures with me. I also did alright with food but crumbled at dessert. Friday will be a gym day.

I hope you, whoever you are, had a wonderful thanksgiving. If you didn't, try not to let it ruin your holiday season. Try focusing on what you can be grateful for admist a sad or angering time and focus on that.

In the beginning...

I started a project. It came to me one day while I was looking over all the things I needed to accomplish. Go to the gym. Eat better. Organize. Look at the car.  The list was becoming endless. I thought back to some other times when I felt like I had to juggle a ton of things and writing as something that was there to help.  I turn 25 this year. Apparently this is a big deal? Something about a quarter of a century? Becoming mature? It's going to happen; going to happen very soon actually (like as I post this). So let me introduce you, whoever that might be, to Twenty Five for Twenty Six.  Here I'm going to attempt to complete 25 goals by the time I turn 26. I have a year. One full year; 365 days to complete a set of tasks. Have I completely decide what those twenty five things are? No. I'm going to give myself a little time to figure those out. I know I need to work on losing 25 pounds but the rest of the goals are kind of up in the air!  I also want ...

These Are Not Joanna Eggs!

If you don't know who Joanna is, please see above. She's a Goanna (reptilian creature who crawls on all fours and eat eggs and things) who is a minor character in "The Rescuers Down Under."  The reason she is featured in today's post is because the theme song for that Disney movie has been playing all day at work as part of the fountain show. I heard it mid afternoon and immediately recognized it. I even said to myself "Well now I have to watch The Rescuers Down Under." And here I am doing just that as we wind down for the night.  Water intake was good today and food was decent. So far breakfast has been the low calorie density meal and based on the scale, I have lost three more pounds. But we shall see. Tomorrow is supposed to be a WellDressedWednesday.

Goosebumps

I am all over the place for sure today (the last few days really). Between worrying about things that I have no business worrying about, trying to complete my goals, work, and general adult skills I feel defeated. I’m struggling to find inspiration and motivation to be consistent. I don’t want to go to work tomorrow. I find myself exhausted the moment I get home (because my Job is exhausting and so is being at home). I look around my apartment and it’s a disaster (even for me it’s bad) and yet I have no energy to fix it. I can’t focus on anything for very long, I’m getting headaches and joint pain again (I was like this all through out high school). And yet I don’t feel nearly as stressed as I did as a teenager. I don’t understand it at all.  I’m sure that people who see me in person and then read here may be confused. I’m seemingly fine  most days. I’m good at masks. I feel the most authentic at work with my clients. Useful, mostly happy, and capable. I’m good at my job. Why ...
