JANUARY 2025 W.I.S.H. THREAD, NEW YEAR, NEW BEGINNINGS

[Oneanne]

Well, yesterday two more apartments became available, so this morning I drove back to see exactly where each apartment is. One of my core requirements is an un-obsructed view with sunlight and it looks like the apt on the third floor satisfies that. Plus only one common wall and no one living above. I have a viewing appointment Tuesday afternoon and may be moving as soon as March. I’m kind of panicked, but keep telling myself I moved in 3 weeks last time with no advance planning.

Holy cow!

Happy Saturday!!!!

I hope everyone is having a good day so far! I apologize for my tardiness, I was attending a birthday party for my 4 legged nephew


This was my first pet birthday party and it was so cute!!

For social Saturday-have you ever attended a pet birthday party? Or hosted one yourself??

The dogs had pup cups and even got favor bags full of dog treats!!!!

I know this is not a relaxing photo but it was so cute I had to use it!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!! Do you have a plan for some self care today?

I got my packing almost completely done yesterday which was a surprise that I had the time, but it sets me up for a easier and calmer week not worrying about packing for vacation, so that’s definitely some self care!!


My Eagles are playing at 3 so I have commitments leading up to the game but I will be on my couch at 3pm…Will it be self care…LOL hard to tell depends if we win or not!!!

GO BIRDS!!!!!!

No, I never have, but those pics are adorable!!

I've always had cats, so inviting other cats over was not a good idea - but I have given various furry princesses ice cream and a new toy on their adoption anniversaries. Does that count?

Self care today is that I’m doing what I promised myself I would do… the free pile is set up outside the fence, now the people just need to come and take it away.

Taking a break, then will start organizing the space opened up with the stuff gone. At some point I’ll do a walk, because it is another beautiful day.

Plans for the weekend changed because DD broke up with her BF and she was stuck at his home in New Jersey. Before we could offer to pick her up, her friend was on the road headed for Jersey. This is a rough breakup, so other than church, I'm staying home trying to comfort her.

Catching up after falling victim to the stomach bug.
Last night DH and I went to see MJ (amazing show) and today I went out to lunch with a few friends.
DD had a rough night at their sleepover, don’t think she is feeling yet which translated to her being “a pest” while I was out. She really is kind of a tornado which is why household chores are at a minimum when I am the only adult home. DH doesn’t seem to fully grasp you cannot try to accomplish everything on the to do list when you are the only adult in the house.

Oh no! I am so sorry!!!! I was not expecting this news from your DD!

MONDAY MOTIVATION



What are you motivated to invest in this week?

What are you motivated to invest in this week?

Searching for an exercise video to replace walking on the treadmill for a few days because I jammed my toe.

And better curating my social media feed to avoid stress.

And better curating my social media feed to avoid stress.

I do the Fabulous 50's videos; a lot are gentle stretching. And I can attest that reducing social media is a boon to mental health.

Holy wow... the free pile (mountain) was a great success. If there's anything this town loves, it is free stuff. I took some leftover odds and ends to GW and a few things went back into the shed for the next free pile, but the rest has been successfully rehomed. The spare bedroom now actually looks like a bedroom, not a storage locker.

What I'm investing in this week is finding my new home: one that has the features I'm looking for and has a rental price I am comfortable paying. And part of a new home is to keep getting this home ready for me to move. I'll have a drop off for the women's shelter Tuesday and a run to the dump Wednesday. Inside the house I need to go thru a dresser that has stuff in it, not clothing, sort thru one closet and go thru the crafting stuff one more time, because there is still too much of it.

All of this is really an investment in myself. Moving is one of those things that seems so overwhelming and feels like such an accomplishment when it is successfully executed. Plus, I'm mentally and emotionally ready for this next stage.
