How has it been since JULY that I have written a post? One might say that quarantine, work, and depression has gotten ahold of me. One might be true.
So, first things first, like I always do when I am absent, I am happy to catch you up to speed.
July- Hot, really hot. We went camping with the in-laws AND I tubbed like a boss. Spent all week in a bathing suit with no regrets and lived my best life! It was amazing.
August- Kids went back to school, to which I think I had my final day off dropping Ella off at school forever because well, riding in the bonus bro’s car is much better and more hip). Our local fair was cancelled, and I thought our city was going to erupt. It didn’t, but we did miss out on the socks and slides with cut off sleeves moments and the “cowgirls” with their shorts and cowboys boots. Sadness. Maybe next year.
September- School is in full swing, to which ours are killing it and my little freshmen is finding her way. Forgot that our boiler was not replaced after the flood and don’t call anyone (this is important in the next paragraph). Switched my PCP and had blood drawn which revealed that I am no longer 22 and my body is letting me know that. Chris traded in his Hellboy themed Charger for a truck. You read that right and yes, it was a practical decision.
October– Michigan football came back and I couldn’t be more excited….or not because this is not our best season. But, Maize & Blue runs in the veins so we will chalk it up to the Rona and hope for a better season next year. Had the realization that our boiler needed to be replaced from the flood and now, 4 weeks later, we have heat. There was a few cold days in there. October 31, Halloween, I put up our entry way Christmas tree. It was glorious. Decided to get married to the BEST person in my world. Stay tuned for that.
November- Celebrated 35 years on this earth. Sometimes I wonder how I got this old so fast. Where did the time go? Then I remembered how many lessons I have been given and I’m still grateful. Quit the gym because it was causing me more shame and sadness knowing that I was paying for something that my current relationship with my mind wasn’t ready for. The gym will always be there when I am ready but right now, I’m not. I don’t know when I will be because I have mind work to do. I’m not going to continue to pay for something and feel guilty because I don’t use it then let it drive me into a deeper hole. Ya know? Also, working out with a mask on isn’t for this girl. Also, was formally diagnosed after misdiagnosis with Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis. Say that ten times too fast. School went back on lock down, while restaurants and inside venues did too for three weeks. Thank goodness for resiliency.
And here we are. Quick and sweet. What have you all been up to?!
