Got some hard news this weekend, I’m making self-care and grace my goals for this week, can’t pour from an empty cup.
Oh no what’s happened?
Unfortunately, it looks like my mother isn’t going to be able to win her battle against MBC. She’s put up a hell of a fight but cancer can be a relentless beast. I’m trying to do my best this week to adjust to this new reality so I can be strong and present for her as she transitions out of this life.
That’s really sad news and I wish things were different for you. Trying to adjust to an awful reality while staying strong for mom is hard, but it’s the right thing. I’m so glad she has you, and remember you have us anytime you need us 💕
Wow, I needed this post so bad right now. Thank you for making it.
I’m going to go for a run at a pace and for a distance that feels good. I just decided this right now, thanks to this post. I fell out of the habit the past few weeks, it seems like I’m falling out of the habit more often than being in it, and it’s so hard to not feel like it’s pointless to try again.
Np we got you. Going running is a really good idea, you’re being sensible about going at a pace that suits you. Habits are easy to fall out of and the first step for getting back to it is deciding to.
Running doesn’t work for me but I like to walk. Do I ever do it? No. Or at least not consistently. I’m gonna take a walk today too. Let’s do it! One day at a time, right?
This is perhaps dumb, but I’m going to a bridal shower for a woman who I used to live next door to and babysat as a little girl in the '90s. She was too young when we moved away to remember me, but she’s grown up hearing all about me, my mom, and my sister, so I guess she wanted to invite us to her shower? It’s surprising but sweet. Other than the bride and her mom, I won’t know anyone there except my own mom (my sister can’t make it). A gathering of strangers is pretty far out of my comfort zone, plus I’ll be wearing a dress (which I normally don’t do), but I’m determined to be charming and not awkward, and to have a nice time. So that’s what I will be doing well this week.
A nice side effect is that it gives me an excuse to have my hair color touched up and get a pedi, so no complaints there!
That’s great! It’s really nice that she invited you the family obviously have lovely memories of you. You’re really going outside of your comfort zone doing this which is great, plus it’s an excuse to treat yourself
I’ve been delaying going to the dentist for months. This week I’m mentally and financially prepared, gonna get an appointment!
Your comment inspired me, I’ve not been for a check up in around 2 years. Been putting it off cos it’s so expensive. Just booked the appointment for July!
proud of you, hope there was nothing to worry about for both of us ^^
Haha thanks mate
Taking better care of my hair.
I had no routine and thanks to my friends and my hairdresser I finally got a routine that makes me so much happier about my scalp and hair.❤️
That and probably being able to bike +40km again now that the weather’s become reasonable again.
That’s great! If your hair is well managed you feel good, and the effort is paying off. 40 km sounds hard mate I’m impressed
I actually went over 40km once and honestly when I say distance I usually mean I’m gonna enjoy the nice weather for the entire day lol😆
- it’s really easy to do long distance biking when I can lose myself and forget my troubles by biking in the 🌳🌲🌳forests🌲🌳🌲 and parks🌳 when the air smells so fresh and everything’s blooming🌸 just being alive feels great💖✨
I’ve been writing a book, just finished the first draft a week or two ago. And now I have ADHD meds and have found myself able to write dramatically more per day and of a higher quality. I’m gonna say writing my second draft is gonna be my big goal for the week. I won’t finish it all in a week, it’s a long book and will take a while to finish, but if I can make really good progress, I’ll be happy with myself.
gonna lose some weight this week!
That’s a really clear goal! How long have you been dieting?
my whoooooole life! so you know i must be pretty good at it by now… 😂😭
Breathing. My answer is breathing. Even if I fuck up the rest, breathing usually works out for me.
