I’m finding it difficult to get moving in the mornings these days. I think it’s the cold weather combined with the fact that if I don’t do Duolingo first thing, I’m afraid I’ll forget and break my streak. I am officially a slave to my device.

Somehow the fact that it’s snowing makes me MORE likely to drag my arse out of bed and go for a walk.
Hey, whatever works on this lazy, grey Saturday morning.

Note to self: When you retire and have more time to play with, don’t schedule 3 Zoom appointments in the same morning—because you won’t move enough, you won’t hydrate enough, and you’ll feel as if your day didn’t ever really get started. #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #motionislotion

Our friends’ daughter, whom we’ve known since she was inside her mum, just got engaged. Thank goodness for the happy things among all the crazy in this world.

Richard Osman’s books bring me SO MUCH JOY. I’ve picked up the latest from my to-read pile so I can finish out 2025 and start off 2026 with some humor and heart.

My FIL always had custard creams and bourbon creams in glass jars by his kettle. A couple of these bikkies and a big mug of tea take my mind back to his kitchen in South Lanarkshire, Scotland.
I hope you’re able to remember your departed loved ones with a smile this holiday season.

During my walk, my brother called for a chat. After, I was sunning on the front porch & hubby called w/a story about his day. Then a friend came by & dropped off cookies. Then my neighbor gave me bread (she bought too much). And our local builder drove by & stopped to say hi. Love my life today.

Good morning, world! It amazes me that it took me decades to learn how healing it can be to be outside and look at the sky.

Today I had 3 things on the calendar and canceled 2 of them and gave myself a mental health day. It felt weird and flaky to cancel out on my dear friends tonight, but if I don’t look after myself when I’m exhausted, nobody else is going to.

I expect this is going to be the first of a series of posts about things that make me cry on the way to retirement. 😂 Love my colleagues and collaborators!!

Bundled up and sitting on my front steps. Even in 20F temps, I love my outdoor time. Fresh air and a view of the sky do wonders for one’s mood.

Happy Saturday! My charity donations are in a bag, ready for new homes. My iron pills are waiting to be dropped in the expired medications box at our town’s civic building. And the boxes downstairs are psyched to join their relatives at the recycling station. Decluttering bliss! #lightness #peace

“I Am a Rock” is a bummer of a song, but it holds SO MUCH TRUTH about the human mind and heart. Absolute genius.

Combo of working without pay + facing strong possibility of someone unqualified being put in my position when I retire is making me loathe to get up and face the day. Now’s the time to remind myself how much a walk helps my mood. Esp since staying in bed for 3 months until I retire isn’t an option 😆

Things I’ve learned about myself during the shutdown #3: I don’t multitask well. I feel pulled in multiple directions, needing to work but also aware that there’s dirty laundry & my most recent meal is waiting to be tracked in my app. … Actually, I think I just resent having to work without pay. 😆

My friend is constantly knitting beanies for a local charity, and I help her untangle her yarn. As a thank-you, she dropped off freshly made corn muffins with the latest bag of yarn. I’m in heaven here!

Happy shutdown payday, folks. 🙄 Give me a moment or three to figure out how to look on the bright side of this.

Quite cold here in the DC area, but if it’s not icy, there’s no reason not to go for my morning walk. #healthyequalshappy

May need to take up the habit of leaving the phone in another room overnight. That forces you to get out of bed in the morning…at which point you’re more likely to do other things (get dressed, do stretching exercises, etc) rather than getting sucked into Wordle etc for 40 minutes. #healthyhabits

More good peeps during the shutdown: I’ve now been fed lunch or dinner 8 times, have been given tickets to two events, and have had the cleaner offer to do our house now and get paid later. Humans be awesome.

Just watched the second-to-last episode of “Schitt’s Creek” and cried. I’ve been drawing out the last season for years because I don’t want to be finished with the show.
I’m off to cry some more now. God, that show has HEART.

So amazed at the good people coming out of the woodwork during the shutdown. I’ve been taken to lunch 3 times & on an outing to a museum & our yard guy says he’ll mow our yard for free next time he’s in the neighborhood & my brother has offered to lend us money if we need it.
