DECEMBER 2023 WISH dancing through the holidays

Happy Wednesday! So glad to be back on here and all caught up!!

Whooohooo that I made it to Wednesday with a better mindset and hope to stay this way until Christmas and into 2024!

I was embarrassed to come on here and say I was having an emotional Christmas meltdown this week, but it seems like we are all on the same boat so that makes me feel better!

I was also fighting a migraine for 3 days which finally broke yesterday. I absolutely cannot use my phone when I am trying to control a migraine. Naps, water, prescriptions and excedrin migraine for 3 days and I’m finally back in good shape!

I was stressing about making my Awana kids a Christmas goodie and gifts for my fellow teachers (tonight is our last class for the year). I was so worried the migraine would not go away in time for me to make my tags/cards on the computer and print them but I spent about 3 hours on them last night and got them all done! Here’s what I made:

WOO HOO! This week is nearly done. I’m looking forward to this weekend’s agenda…baking and decorating cookies, wrapping, gel manicure and massage then live nativity on Saturday night. Church and more baking and wrapping on Sunday. DD’s BF will be with us this weekend.

WOO HOO! I’m SO excited for our holiday themed week at school…Merry Grinchmas, World Holidays, Frosty the Snowman, Polar Express pajama day, and ugly sweater day.
 
I'm thankful for some milder weather today. It is still overcast but not dripping wet, and I had a break in meetings midday so I went outside and picked up clippings, since tomorrow is yard waste pick up day. There's more to do but it already looks so much better. Plus I got some fresh air in to my body

I've actually been thinking I don't have enough work to do and someone seems to have heard those thoughts because yesterday I was approached about taking up something that's kind of crappy but high impact/high visibility, and I'm going to do it. It's a strategic earning points kind of thing, that I'll cash in to get onto the big project I want to be part of. I never used to think this way about work/career and I'm thankful that I've figured how to do it... before retirement!

samesies! After a period of slow-down a whole bunch of chaos is coming my way once someone agrees to fund all the requests.

Thankful to have been given the OK to work at home the rest of the year.
Thankful for a functioning washing machine and the fact my basement now smells like a basement and not stagnant water.
Thankful for warm, cozy blankets.
 
Sorry I've been absent this week - it's my busiest week of the year at work. All of December and January and super busy, but this is like crunch week lol!

I'm thankful that it's gone well and we've pretty much gotten everything done so I can work on final contracts and close the year this weekend hopefully. My boss is going out of town on Tuesday, so things have to be ready for him to ok on Monday. I'm happy that it's Friday, but I really could use one more day this week lol! I'd like to be able to do something Christmas related and not be stuck at my desk all weekend! I'm hopeful that will happen, but time will tell!

I did help my mom get all of her Christmas ordered last night. She'll be 80 in February and she has always loved Christmas. She likes getting her kids and grandkids lots of gifts, but it's getting harder and harder for her. She called me yesterday and was super stressed because she didn't have much for anyone. We sat down and got stuff ordered for everyone on her list and it should all be delivered by Christmas! She feels much better and will hopefully be able to enjoy wrapping it as it get delivered to her house!

Do not feel embarrassed. I was in a full on freak out mode earlier this week. I got the last of my shopping done and I have let go of the other stressors. Plus Elizabeth is feeling better.
 
I am woohooing that I got my Christmas shopping done.

I am Thankful that I am off for the next 2.5 weeks.

For today -- I am just trying to make it through the day. I have a few things to get done for work and I keep putting them off. I think tomorrow I might start to get some cookies made and then on Sunday I am heading to see my friends daughter in the Nutcracker. So it will be a fun weekend.
 
Yay for Fridays! The garden looks so much better where I picked up all the pruning's that I can't wait to get back out there and do more.

Big plans for the weekend... today I'll get the kitchen all spruced up and ready for cookie making. Early tomorrow I need to make the drive into the neighboring town to do a return and want to get in and out as quickly as possible, so it will be early... because Christmas madness. Then some more yard work and some cookie baking. Sunday we go see Elf at the theatre in the morning and maybe do some lunch. After that, more cookies.
 
Thankful Thursday! Thankful that I have health insurance and access to healthcare when I need it. I noticed a change in a mole the other week and made a dermatologist appointment. Got a call that it is melanoma. It’s stage 0 and I am so thankful that I caught it now. Tuesday I go for the surgery to take the area around it off, which will be sent out to biopsy and the hope is that is clear. Very close monitoring for the next 2 years. I knew it was something, I could tell by the looks of it and I could just feel it in my heart that something was wrong. Just so thankful I can get my health issues addressed when I need to, sometimes we take things like that for granted!

Free for all Friday-I babysat today, took DD to/from work, did some cleaning and laundry. Tomorrow we volunteer at the SPCA in the morning and then my
Mother in law and I are going to lunch in the afternoon and running whatever last minute Christmas errands we both have.

Sunday is a big day for DD-the Christmas choir she is in sings at 930 and 11 service…then they break for lunch together and at 1pm they start a full run through of the Christmas service. She’s been moved to the “adult” choir so the expectations are high -but she handles it so well. I love our worship director-but when I was 15 if an adult expected so much of me I would have crumbled but DD rolls with it and doesn’t say a word about it! Proud of her and excited to see all their hard work come together 🙏🏼
