I revealed my word of the year, wait, yesterday. Today I thought I’ll just share a few things I’m waiting on in my life right now.
Simple Things:
My Christmas cactus to finally bloom. Oh, it’s giving me more exercise in patience than I can stand.
The washer cycle to complete. I’m washing all my “hang to dry” delicate cycle sweaters and such this morning
The dryer cycle to finish. It’s air drying the new comforter I picked up for our bed using my Kohl’s cash.
Online church service to start. (Probably will start before I finish this post so I’ll be coming back to this).
My hair to dry. Didn’t feel like making much effort once I got out of the shower.
My order from Bath and Body Works to arrive. Going to be a bit as I just ordered yesterday using up coupons, one for a “free” birthday gift that expired today.
Slightly More Complicated Things:
J’s school schedule to get straightened out and his last semester of high school to finally (Please, dear God) go smoothly. Suffice it to say it’s been a rough start. Perhaps I’ll share more about it later in the week. Proud of him for not giving up because I’m not proud to say I was ready to over the weekend.
My Mom’s Night Out on Thursday. Normally, this wouldn’t be considered slightly complicated. However, I need to discuss something with a friend. Saying No to a friend is always hard. And while I want to support any endeavors of my friends, of course, I cannot do so at a cost of my home mental health. Not right now.
Speaking of mental health, my turn in line to have a breakdown. Ha.
Happy Things/Events:
My Mom’s Night Out on Thursday. Haven’t seen these friends in what feels like a long time since I bowed out in December, not wanting to get anyone sick.
The next set of upcoming birthdays, holidays. However, I’m making sure to take space to breathe between them all.
Using my birthday/Christmas gift cards. I’m going to Target tonight so planning to look for a new game for a different friend group to play perhaps. Or maybe I’ll save them for a bit later in the year.
Stopping here so I can get on with my day. What are some things you are waiting on today?
*****************
day 8/365
I hope your son’s schedule gets figured out. I know it has been a huge struggle for you guys. And I hope your conversation with your friend goes well.
As for me, I am waiting for my timer to go off to switch laundry. I am waiting for my sons to be quiet. LOL I am waiting for my bedtime. LOL
School schedules have been so rushed since pandemic. Here, some students were burning schools last year. That is the extreme. I think both kids and teachers were feeling burnt out.
Priority number 1 should be your mental health, it is OK to say no. I think your friend will understand 🙂
Have a lovely time in your upcoming mom’s night out event.
Wow, that is extreme. The pandemic really messed up the mental health of so many including my son. He’s doing so much better than he was even just in the fall. And teachers here (especially at the public schools) are super burned out to the point there is a shortage in many areas. It feels as though things are slowly (very slowly it feels) shifting back into the normal we had prior to the pandemic. I think the high school is just going to be a mess for a while. Hoping my friend understands. She has kind of a strong personality which makes it harder to say no but I’m going to have to do it. Thank you!
Sounds like a LOT to wait on. I hope they all play out in good time the way you need them to. My pink Christmas Cacti have ALL bloomed multiple times. My white one is being super stubborn!
I’m waiting till I get back from my mom’s today to dive into some things I really want to get done. I’m waiting for a sunny day to be able to take some pics for the blog, and for my Etsy shop. Actually it looks like it will be quite sunny today! So I guess that gets added to the ‘waiting till I get back from my mom’s’ thing. lol
Sunny days are the best! Hope you got all your pictures done 🙂
school schedules can be a headache for sure. It sounds as though your son has patience though. I am currently waiting on my daughter to get here so we can go to the grocery store. I am patiently waiting and working on catching up my reading here.
He is pretty patient. Probably more than me. Hope the grocery store was enjoyable for you (personally, I love grocery shopping which is kind of odd, I suppose).
Sounds like that word is already coming into play. Hope it all sorts itself out…and no breakdowns lady. hahaha
I think it really is and not in a bad way. Ha, maybe just a mini one here and there??
Hello, my friend. I always have a hard time saying no, but I am with you! You and your mental health come first. Prayers for the school situation to work itself out. I am always waiting for the laundry cycles, it seems! Have a cozy evening.
Thank you. It seems the school situation is working itself out so thank you for the prayers. Might make it through it all yet. Hope your Tuesday is off to a wonderful start!
