Hiya, good morning, completely satisfied Friday!
It’s been a a bizarre week round right here. It’s spring break so we haven’t had any of our usually scheduled actions. In a method, that’s been very nice. We had a household film night time, frolicked with mates from our outdated city that stopped by for a bit, the women and I went buying (H received this costume and this shirt and each are so cute on her), and we hit a bucket of balls collectively at a driving vary for the primary time. Our kind left rather a lot to be desired however we had enjoyable!
Then again, I’m undecided if it was our lack of enforced construction, the pollen, or my hormones, however I’ve had some fairly constant mind fog all week lengthy. On the surface I believe (hope) that I appear like I’m functioning as regular however I really feel like I’ve mentally been trudging by way of mud.
I additionally had a kind of moments of actually lacking my dad. It’s one thing I notice I don’t actually ever discuss about- the seemingly unprovoked event of out of the blue wishing deeply that I might simply discuss to him for 5 minutes whereas tears nicely up in my eyes.
I shared that, together with the ball in a field perspective of grief, on Instagram after which proceeded to ugly cry my method by way of the responses that have been a mixture of comradery on this common human expertise of grief and loving responses remembering issues I shared about my dad and the way he used to at all times go away messages on all my weblog posts.
Between the mind fog and the feelings, I, after all, blame hormones. However the enjoyable factor about 42 is that do I blame the place I’m at in my cycle (becoming) or do I blame perimenopause? I simply obtained the copy of The New Menopause that I hope will assist me determine it out. Can I inform you how humbling it’s to purchase a e-book with the phrase menopause in it? Aren’t I nonetheless 20-something years outdated?
I had just a few moments of productiveness. I put collectively my Tween Woman Easter Picks and Teen Woman Easter Picks lists. I actually get pleasure from doing this a lot as a result of I principally knock out that process for my very own Easter Bunny whereas hopefully creating one thing useful. I didn’t get round to creating graphics although (that takes longer than one would possibly assume), however wished to go forward and share them as a result of Easter is simply a pair weeks away (loopy).
I additionally washed sheets, accomplished rooster chores, and ordered pictures for my frames, which took over an hour as a result of I ended up scrolling by way of photos with H of her toddler days. She was so cute. Sniff.
Hormones, is that you just? Time to begin studying my e-book…
I’m wanting ahead to this weekend, which ought to maintain some enjoyable time with mates, loads of sunshine, and naturally some basketball watching!
We’re so into March Insanity. Is that one thing you get pleasure from? All of us stuffed out brackets (mine isn’t doing so nicely in the intervening time) after which had each ChatGPT and Grok fill one out too, only for enjoyable. David has been telling me he’s discovering Grok to be superior in his use, so we determined to place them to the actual check… basketball predictions!
Thanks for stopping by at the moment and I hope you’ve gotten a very fantastic weekend. I’ll be again subsequent week with one thing extra substantial to share than a rambling monologue. See you then! 🙂
