Corporate donuts don't cure Monday blues but I'd rather be fed and spiteful, than just spiteful 🤷🏻♀️

Last week my partner sliced their thumb open on the mandolin veggie slicer.Today I cut my index finger slicing veggies.
My toddler has now decreed neither of us can cook.
We are all about equality and brutal honesty in this house.

Trying something new with life for a change. They say if you want something with all your heart, the whole universe conspires to bring it to you. I'm gonna give it a shot. #motivations

Re-entering the job market after working for the same company for 5 years. To say I'm nervous doesn't even begin to cover it lol. The goal is simple: be afraid and do it anyway. Wish me luck!

Merry Christmas and welcome to day 1 of getting my cat to switch from grazing to scheduled meals as a first time cat-mom.
So far we've had 2 successful meals and one very loud tantrum.

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags.

brave(?) decisions I've made so far today
Oreo coke: 7/10 much to my partner's chagrin.All that's missing is some more carbonation.
Gas station cafe moka: 0/10. Would rather gargle gas sold at the same station.
Going to said gas station in a Christmas onesie: 9.5/10 felt like walking inside a hug.

This holiday season, make sure to check in on those loved ones that are away from home. You never know who went from a full table last Christmas, to ordering takeout and staring at it, in tears, while it goes cold.
This holiday season, give someone a reason to believe in a miracle.

Three weeks ago, I quit smoking, cold turkey. And I gotta say, I continue to impress myself with that decision every day since.
Never thought I'd get this far on my first attempt, but now that I've come this far... I kinda wanna see how far I can go.

This gave me goosebumps.
“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.
A man came up to her and started talking to her.
A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”
How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”
We need each other.

"People make mistakes. Potatoes make french fries"
So, don't beat yourself up too much! You're a people, not a potato ;)

Could it be that we got so fixated on trying to guess what the destination looks like, that we forgot to understand the point of the journey?

The challenge of being as kind to myself as I would to someone I call a friend, has been the hardest I've taken on yet.

New beginnings aren't a bad thing. How does that saying go again? Something has to fall apart for something better to fall into place?
Well, it's fallen apart. Now, let's rebuild.
