This is a warning that this is a rambling post of whatever comes into my head; if you’d like to read on, please continue; if not, I understand. 

I may have hit peak lazy eating today; it’s been a long day, so I got home after doing a quick run to shoppers, poured myself a bubble bath, had a good soak and decided to redo my hair colour (I tried a light pink but it’s not making much difference with the orange), and made a lazy but protein filled supper of chicken nuggets with chipotle bbq sauce being eaten with chopsticks so I can type without any mess. 

I started today with a caramel iced coffee and ended up drinking a mistake drink (iced coffee) on my lunch after I should have been drinking caffeine and finishing my day with a decaf iced coffee while I eat my chicken nuggets. Im in an over-caffeinated, surprisingly focused and squirrel kinda mood, like the squirrel from Hoodwinked when hes on had coffee and just going all over the place; im not sure where to put the energy. So im creating this post as i dont spam my friends and family, as I want to avoid bothering anyone, but I need to get this out, so this is for you all, my lovely readers. 

This year, I’m determined to make a better change and find some new changes for what I’m not enjoying in my life currently. So I started with a new hair colour; I’m going with pink, not a subtle colour but something bright enough to cover the orange/red tones and not be neon; a darker pink will be perfect. 

I plan to figure out a routine to keep myself on track for yoga and the like, nothing too crazy, maybe three times a week with yoga and two days with a weighted workout and some stretching, im not quite sure yet. Still, I want it to be something I can keep up if I stay overnight somewhere else or add moves to cleaning and the like. Make it fun or more functional workouts so I can do what I need to do while also working on the muscles in my everyday activities.

 

I currently have a sinus issue. im not sure if it’s an infection, a potential cold or allergies (dust kills me and heat in buildings makes me want to itch and sniffle every time I walk into a heated building). It’s rather annoying; I spent all day sniffling, coughing randomly, and chugging water whenever I could cause I was mouth breathing behind a mask, and it was like trying to get moisture in the desert during midday. I had some mints with me to make it more manageable. Still, it got so bad at one point that I had to sit down cause it was so hard for me to breathe, and I think now that im home, I realise part of it was the heat is blasting at a temp we can not change at work no matter the circumstance and I find it harder to breathe when its hotter out. The other thing was that the pressure was getting to me and making it hard to function as the only thing I was thinking about at one point was, “Just let me have a moment to my damn self where I can cool down and breathe”, the best ive breathed today was outside. It was so dang nice; it was nice and smooth considering, and the Vicks I put behind my ears and neck helped relax my muscles and give me some relief from the pulsating on my face. 

I am not the easiest person at times, and I’ve accepted this: we are all human, so there are some days when things could be smoother and more manageable. Today, I feel this, but I also realized that no matter what I do in life, working where I do it helps to build up patience, and I know I can do other things in life by doing what I do and not going wild. Im trying this year to have more patience; im working on growing it; it’s hard. I have moments where I want to just yell at people when they aren’t listening, but I want to treat others the way I’d like to be treated, so in an effort for that, im treating it like a cactus plant. You have to nurture it but also let it grow in its own time; now, I dont have a green thumb; I have killed several aloe and cacti. It’s not something im proud of, and im trying to be better, but I’m good with plastic plants for appearance’s sake. 

 

Earlier today, I asked if I found someone to date (I still need to). im open to dating; however, I want to take more control of things that I can and be more healed if possible. I know it is good to see the behind-the-scenes, but if im going to be with someone, i want them to see/meet me when im in a better place with a more solid foundation. I’d like to know if I will meet my person this year. Still, TikTok and various quizzes keep telling me that im either going to end up married, engaged or pregnant by the end of 2024, so im not sure what the year will bring. Still, I know I’m not ready for kids at all right now. I have yet to learn about the future, but this year will be enjoyable regardless of what comes. Im keeping my options open; im staying strong and letting things go as I see them. 

I just got an alert for a severe snowstorm; it was getting quite windy when leaving work. By the time I got home, it was a good deal colder, and there was a good blanket of snow out there last; I peeked out the window. It looks nice, but it’s not my favourite weather as you never know what will happen, and it’s harder to get around as no one knows what the weather will decide to do. 

 

I don’t know how to end this; I could do more. However, I wonder if anyone will make it this far. If you made it this far, thank you; I dont know how you got here without being confused cause I reread this, and I got a wee bit confused with the paths I took on a whim throughout writing this. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend, and I will see you with a 2023 review soon! 

Till Next Time, 

Meg
