What a week. Not going to lie, hasn't been my most favorite week for sure. I have been in a mood, a not a good one.
Not much happened out of the usual. We got a nice snow at the very beginning of the week but then it all melted and I think that was when I started to feel blah. The mr and I did a nice hike in that snow though and it was really freaking great. I did a bit work in my studio, cleaned the inside of my oven, (I must note here that it took my 15 minutes tops. No meat means no grease) put up some Christmas decorations (helped lift the mood a bit) and walked around a lot. We didn't have a normal Thanksgivings, no big family gathering at our house, no sibling fighting, no dance party so there was little to have tp plan or do. It was a little sad but very much necessary. And honestly miss everyone but it was kind of nice not to have ta clean turkey gravy or mashed potatoes off my couch.
Thanksgiving day I went for a little hike with Megan, Justin, and kids and then the mr and I just went to my moms. I helped cook, the mr and Barb did some deep cleaning around the house and the boys came out of there rooms long enough to eat. (Paul helped clean before he crawled back into he dark hole) And that was that.
And all through everything I have been cranky Maybe it is pandemic fatigue, maybe it is that it is so freaking warm out and I just want it to be cold and snowy, or maybe it is that I have opened and started 3 different books this week and none of them are sticking. I feel bookless and lost. If I can’t get into a book soon I am going to freak out! It’s probably all of the above and then some but I am okay with being not great. Just going to lean into it, feel my feelings and so on and so forth. (I sound so healthy and smart. HA!)
I am hoping today brings some shift in my demeanor. The mr and I are going to go get our Christmas tree!!! We are going a week earlier then usually but whatever, I want it and need some happy. So as per tradition, we are heading out into the Green Mountain National Forest to hike in, find our tree, cut it down, and drag it out. This my friends it the most bestest part of Christmas. A real live tree, covered in light, right in my living room.
Alright, feeling better already.
