I'm home and recovered to start the final Christmas rush. But, I want to remember to slow down and enjoy it. The food doesn't need to be perfect -- nothing does. Family time, fun weekend, tradition, connection. It'll be good enough and I can ENJOY this week too.
That's the intention this week. Remember to have fun. Nothing is as important as my to-do list seems.
This came to mind because I texted my Asheville neighbor to say hello and that we'd be back for Christmas. She immediately responded with invites and she "has a gift" for us. My head went instantly into overwhelm. But there was no need -- I can happily make time and enjoy seeing a friend.
On the drive home, I listened to a few interesting podcasts. It has me excited for 2023 planning and maybe I'll change up some things too. This is an early January project though. I have preliminary thoughts and a big old list, but I want quiet space to finalize it.
I got home before noon yesterday and did a few house chores, painted rocks and started the seed gift bags.
Today is full of to-do's (all week is full) -- not going to sugar coat it. Hair appointment, organizing grocery lists and grocery store run. If my back is okay, I'll start in the kitchen a little too.
UPDATE: Just took care of the dogs and my back spasmed when I bent down. No workout today. Pretty please don't let this be the start of another injury. It's hurting. I might need to modify the entire day. (Universe slowing me down??)
I'm going to go rest my back in a recumbent position. Not how I planned to start today. Later gators.
