Ooh look, it's my favorite sassy pants, clicking over to see if the Mr and I have been up to shenanigans! I hope you're ready for a good Friday and have your weekend vibes rarin' to go. You know we've been up to no good all week trying to get this friggin' house in some kind of order but it continues to fight me at every turn. I've got my work cut out for me with the bottom rail and have to repeat the whole process I've been doing since last Saturday. That's right, 6 full days (well, five because my body broke Wednesday) but my Etsy production partner crapped the bed so it's not like I got a break. I really wish there was a house fairy that was free that would finish everything to your liking because this DIY or pay some schmuck who will probably eff it up and charge you for the privilege crap is for the birds.
Sending out big hugs to my bestie who unfortunately had to send her pup to the Rainbow Bridge. My heart aches for her and her hubby. It's been a physically and emotionally exhausting week and a few hours ago I was snotting in bed until I couldn't breathe repeating "I want my Mommy" until my eyes swelled shut so that should about sum things up all around. 👍
Now let's sum up:
30 Moves to Make the Most of Your At-Home Workout (Lotsa good ones here if you want to do a whole routine or throw in some exercise snacks during a binge watch)
I’m from Japan, home to some of the world’s longest living people: 8 foods I eat every day (Hmm, I could maybe do half but have no idea how they would mesh together without tasting like butt)
4 Ways to Add 10 Grams of Protein to Your Breakfast—Without Protein Powder (If you add cottage cheese to egg whites and bake it up, you've got a heck of a protein bomb!)
15 Reasons Why Your Feet Are Absolutely Killing You (Yep, still going through this BS 8 months later but I'm getting better about using my slant board lately so there's that?)
Do You Live with Anxiety? Here Are 13 Ways to Cope (Some good tips)
The Experiences of U.S. Adults Who Don’t Have Children (I mean... have you seen it out there?! No thanks)
I Felt Pressured To Go Through Menopause In Secret. Here's What My Friend And I Are Doing Instead (Yeah, y'all know I do everything loud. Just wait till we throw that shizz in the mix one day!)
Paulina Porizkova, 59, Opens Up About Older Women Feeling ‘Endless Freaking Shame’ (People under 30 act like getting old isn't the goal and we should all be dead by 49 so they can have our houses. I've literally seen that written many times)
The longtime LA home of the late Paul Reubens has sold for $3.8M (I really hope whoever bought it will keep that gorgeous mid century vibe. I mean, look at it!)

I'm so sorry you had such a painful night, wishing your mom was there. That breaks my heart and I totally, completely understand it. The loss was smothering you right then and I know those gut-wrenching sobs. I'm so very, very sorry. I can imagine how much worse your head had to feel because it's like an anvil to the side of your head from the pressure. I hope you were able to go into a deep slumber somehow, but I know those are pipe dreams more often than not. I haven't slept in several weeks because I was taking care of our sweet pup during the night, and last night it was so still and quiet in the house I was wide awake. I didn't know what to do with myself with not being on high alert. I hate it.
ReplyDeleteNo weekend plans other than taking care of some hard stuff, working a bit tomorrow, and probably doing mindless, detached grief cleaning in that weird robotic way. I hope you guys can get through the stairs project relatively unscathed and you don't have the same aggravations as this whole week has been. DIY fairy indeed...wouldn't that be great! Come take all my junk, paint the walls, put in new flooring and countertops, and we're good to go. That's not asking too much (oh, and the big light fixtures I've had sitting in the kitchen for two years...that's be swell, too). =o)
Yeah it's been a week and I'm really sorry to hear about our friend going through that pain of losing a pet family member. Prayers go out to them for sure! Try to have a good weekend everyone.
ReplyDeleteHome renovation is a nightmare. Been through it recently. Finally completed the work on the upstairs. Some interesting reading. As one who had no children I am often asked why not? Is something wrong with you? Unreal in this day and age! Maybe if those under 49 want our homes some kindness would help. After all it isn't like we have anyone to leave it to.😃 . Hope your weekend improves.
