I almost forgot because I have so little motivation just now. Hm. Exercising so I can be fitter than federal agents. Engaging in restorative self care like tackling my TBR. Setting goals because I have to believe there's a future.

I know, it feels like too much. I'm going to the Beets tonight to talk through some options so I don't just hide in a blanket fort. Maybe I'll update with specifics later.

Strategizing to keep some rest space in the new year. I can't fight if I'm asleep on my feet.

Ignoring the push to send my spouse back to work the day after an accident that crumpled our car. Being cozy. Making champurrado. Spending time with my people.

I'm tying up loose ends and then resting. Actively reaching out to reconnect with community, since I've been depression holing a lot. Giving myself permission to have a less intensive Christmas so I don't push myself too hard.

This week is focused on community and rest, I think.

Putting up the last of the garden produce. Resting wherever I can. Being unapologetically myself. And moving my body so it can keep up with my values.

I'm refusing to let this hellscape ruin my cozy holiday home. Gonna spend time with people I love, decorate my house, get a tree. Maybe lecture a few randos on the colonialist underpinnings of our culture.

Around work projects, I'm doing some planning for the bigger scope next year: balance, priorities, projects to leave behind. And I'm gonna make some art this week.

I took today for self-care, did a bunch of things I've been putting off. Rest of the week is going to be about rest and Beets planning.

I don't like to be the boss of you, but I sincerely hope voting is part of your answer.

Regardless of how things turn out tomorrow, I'm setting out this week to cultivate some hope. I need a recharge in the worst way.

Voting! and researching to get it right.

Resting between bouts of musical resistance. Reading. Finishing up the canning and food storage from the last of the garden.
