It is Blue Monday. How are y’all handling it?
I’m cold and it feels like -16C outside but when the temperature goes low, I go high!
Literally: Yesterday, on the drive home from the ski hill, I saw a plug for these mittens in a magazine and I think I am going to order a pair. I my mom and I have (self-diagnosed) Raynauds and this winter has been especially miserable. Most mornings I can barely unlock the door when I come home from a walk and I was in tears at the gas pump a few weeks ago when I couldn’t get my hands to work. It is not a fun way to live so instead of feeling down about the situation, I am going to invest in feeling sensation in my fingers again.
Mentally: I am taking stock. Inspired by people online: (here and here) I thought it’d be fun to fill in the blanks:
January Twenty Seventeen
Admiring
My sister and all the women marching in Washington on January 21.
Watching
Movies. I need to watch more movies. The Oscar nominees will be announced in 8 days and I already know I am wayyyyy behind. I did see La La Land and loved it!
Reading
Follow me on Goodreads – it’s where all the cool kids hang
Thinking about
The idea of shifting my work schedule next school year to accommodate after school with David.
Listening to
Podcasts. I really enjoyed CBC’s Missing & Murdered: Who Killed Alberta Williams
Dreaming of
Summer and family holidays.
Eating
I had ladkas this weekend – amazing! I need to get into cooking as I am feeling uninspired right now.
Drinking
Tea is my favourite thing right now. Not red wine, I keep getting headaches.
Buying
A lot less (it’s January so we’re working on purging over buying)
Wondering if
A running coach is worth it (thoughts?)
Cringing
Dealing with my iPhone problems. The damn thing is broken and I need to get it fixed but I have no desire to do so.
Smelling
Scented candles. At what point did I become the age when you burn scented candles all of the time?
Wearing
Socks. I got 11 pairs of socks for Christmas.
Embracing
Henry.
Disliking
Facebook. I have stopped clicking on links.
Loving
Morning walks to school with David and Henry.
Wanting
In celebration of BLUE MONDAY, I will take this star print shirt please!
How about you? Do you stop and take stock of life lately?
