I am finding winter
hard this year…which is
not really like me.
I mean, don’t get me wrong,
I always hate winter…
I don’t like to be cold,
I don’t wanna shovel…
I work from home so storm days
are nothing to look forward to…

but this year,
I feel more isolated
than I ever have.

I’m not really sure why.

I am trying to push myself
out of my head
by getting back to the little blue desk
(evidenced above by a little holly hobbie-ish geek girl),
doing monthly challenges for myself
(last month was intermittent fasting;
this month is 10000 steps a day),
and most recently
forcing myself to get dressed everyday
in real clothes
and not just stay in the same pjs…

This has been been a good thing
for me to do…
sometimes, when there is
no else to push you
you gotta push yourself.

IN THE BIG ORANGE HOUSE:

WATCHING: Yellowstone; Love Life; Atypical

READING: Becoming - Michelle Obama

LISTENING TO: Trucker Speed - Fred Eaglesmith

EATING: granola bars dipped in cake icing; popcorn

GRATEFUL: not many morning headaches; 22 helping me
with snowblower; sweet & encouraging comments on
social media; the way timmy the cat gently puts his paw
on my cheek when I need it the most; gas station cookies;
bunny slippers; shampoo that makes my hair smell like apples.
