I need a good soak and honestly, writing this out is making me consider setting time aside tomorrow evening once we’ve cleaned the aftermath of lunch to take a nice epsom bath.

My breaks haven’t felt much like breaks lately, but instead have been chalk full of people coming in and out of the house (triggering the dogs, who overstimulate the shit out of me so bad I want to jump out of my skin). That being said, I haven’t done any of the “much-needed relaxing” I said I would do over break. The holidays are so overwhelming and having housework done at the same time is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

BUT enough of that because in hindsight I’m excited to be hosting our first Christmas here, albeit short notice. I’m also excited to share this new chapter (finally) with my closest friends for my birthday.

Slowly but surely, as the year falls to a close, I’m full of gratitude for the lessons I learned this year. While the challenges were brutal, they were things I needed to experience in order to fully lean into this next big chapter in my life.

In doing so, I woke up mid witch-dream! I had a dream that I was using jade pieces on a set of nails that I was making and applying on myself, except in the dream the nails were all wonky and practically lifting from my real nail (so they weren’t very well-applied to say the least).

Plus, this is the second dream and the second night in a row that was based around this middle/high school setting. I don’t know why, but it is literally my middle school. Like, from what I remember those years ago, it truly looked just like that and the other areas I see must be reminders of college or something (it quite literally looks like a middle school and college mashup, but looks nowhere near what my high school once looked like).

;-; I was up until 4:30am and I haven’t felt well-rested all damn day so obviously I’m going to bed but man :/
