Wolf eel bites coke can5/9/2023 The other day I was sharing this with a sister from another mister that this year is the first year that there wasn’t the Santa magic that we’ve had. Putting away all of those ornaments and going through Christmas cards is hard for me. Whether it’s emotional or just the change itself. The holiday clean up is always hard for me. Rivaled Big Jim from the year before and was purchased from the same place. I don’t have regrets, other than it quit sucking up water. Yeah.Īs I clean all of this mess up, trying to remind myself that I always want a fresh, live tree. Now, mind you, our carpet is SO old that there’s only a thin, if any, a layer of the pad on top of horrifying carpet that is also…wait for it…beige. On top of that, due to the tree not taking water, there was about a gallon of water that then promptly went into the carpet and pad. Just.don’t.do.it! I wish I would have gotten photos, but I didn’t. Dear God Almighty, do not let your tree stay around if it dries out. It took like an hour, probably more, to get those pine needles up. Not only was that tree heavy, it left needles everywhere. Honestly, it was way too long…not to mention I was trying to fathom just how fun it would be to clean up the bajillion pine needles that would be everywhere when we took it out of here. I did everything to help it, like spray it daily with water just to keep us safe. The tree had stopped sucking up water and was just not good. Big Bertha, who followed Big Jim from last year, was REALLY crispy. So, for the first time, we put our tree up early and took it down late. I had days off, but it just didn’t seem like enough. The holidays seem to get totally away from us after the big day. Nice and vague, right? Posted in Health Tagged exercise, redhawk, self-care, workout Leave a comment I feel like in general, the universe is speaking to me and it’s a very strange feeling because I don’t truly know what the message is. Redhawk has a good bit of classes if anyone wants to check them out. I feel rushed trying to fit it all in, but it feels good. Cardio Monday, Chiropractor on Tuesday, Massage on Wednesday, TRX today and a workout tomorrow. Also this week, I have taken my “lunch” hour to focus on me. Having her is another bit of self-care for me, as I simply cannot do it all. She’s been so kind to come in and do whatever needs to be done. This week has been particularly good because we have family help from someone we are so happy is back in our lives. Life is super busy with job, home, family, trying to cultivate a business and having a day job. I feel like I finally am practicing some self-care. Something else that came from being open…my dear friend Kenna invited me to run with her at the track the other weekend and I did it! This girl feels super awkward trying to run, but she helped me through trying to breathe and take it as fast as I could take it. More open to asking for help, trying new things. Maybe it’s age or something, but I’m finding I’m more open. Both Diana and Joyce were so encouraging during the class. I met a lady named Joyce at the gym yesterday and she encouraged me to go and said she’d be there. 2x per week focused workouts with her are time well spent. Even though Diana stretches me hard, she is so encouraging. But, I’ve got great support from Chip and others around me. Banged up on the ego and it felt really bad. It’s hard to look at the last year or so of not doing much of anything near exercise. The first couple workouts and sometimes now, I don’t even want to look in that gym mirror. Regardless, exercise has preserved my sanity and emotional state of mind. I’ll be the first to say that I haven’t given up all that I should, so weight loss is slow. Harder with the kiddos home for 3 weeks…truly tested my sanity! They are back in school and I’m back at it. I also added cardio a day or two a week up until the holidays. My workouts with her have been awesome, even though sometimes I feel like I’m going to die. She is gentle, kind, positive, real and tough all at the same time. Diana IS AMAZING and I feel so lucky that she is working with me. About 3 weeks into December I signed up with a trainer at Redhawk.
