Both my undergrad and grad programs had a lot of adult/ returning students. I was one. I found the dynamics and learning in age-diverse classrooms to be much better than the few undergrad classes I took that were all very young adults.
H called me out on something I was scared of doing for my business. So I sucked it up and did the thing. Eleanor Roosevelt would be proud.
My in laws visited and it went well.
I’m home after visiting family and now I get allll week to just spend with Greyman with almost no obligations or responsibilities.
I removed stuff from my to do list that isn’t urgent and now I have a relaxing week ahead of me.
My bf’s sister’s dog is sleeping on me as I read a book. Hats for bf’s family are knitted. No work for 2 weeks. Life is good.
We found Ewok’s two missing hats - both at daycare. Now he has multiple hats again!
Good from bad- because I was on triple feeds because Latte struggled to regain weight, and then hated bottles and doesn’t take nearly as much as I pump, I have a large freezer stash of milk now. It’s getting so large that I’ll soon be able to donate to a milk bank that supplies local NICUs and sells to families once they go home.
At least one of my cards reached it’s recipient before solstice/hannukah/mid winter/Christmas/New year’s Eve/her birthday.
I got decent sleep last night and therefore have dismantled and fixed my vacuum, vaccumed v thoroughly, changed the cat litter, and wiped down the bathroom. Future me who has an intensive work day ahead is going to be less impressed with these life choices. But long term me who doesn’t have to live in filth is cool with it.
9.5 hours of sleep! Actually fell back asleep after getting up to pee!
I’m on a bus that is going to an airplane that is going to a place where friends are.
Mother in law sent me a CHEESECAKE
It’s the best time of the year! THE FIRST SEED CATALOG CAME!
Once cookies are done, the only thing on my to do list is changing my Netflix password, writing it down, and wrapping it. I might even shower for funsies
I’m driving to a Christmas Eve celebration today and THE RAIN HAS STOPPED. Yay!
I’m in Vancouver. There is no snow.
My toddler loved the strawberries that DH gave me for Christmas
Due to this being the Christmas holiday, the roads are very empty and it should be very easy for me to get to all of my appointments today.
Additionally, due to implementing holiday pricing this year, I am working about 3/4 of the hours that I did last year on this date but I’m making about 10% more.
This is very rough math that I just kind of eyeballed this morning before I left for my appointments, but I’m still feeling pretty good about it
I made it through Christmas without anxiety taking over. Yay!
