October Ramblings

October Ramblings

Oct. 10, 2019

I haven’t been creating much lately. My workspace has become one big clutter mess and I was struggling with a sore back. After prayers at Moms group, that night, I was stretching and my back seemed to readjust back into place. Now feeling a lot better and Super Grandma Dianne is here to help with driving and some of the dishes, laundry, and vacuuming (she can’t sit still unless she’s on Facebook 😂 love ya mom).... so.... I got my small desk cleaned off and now I’m trying to clear off the counter so I can use it for recording art videos and the other half to organize part of my couponing stockpile. 

My son’s football season is coming to a close. Tonight we’re driving to Aitkin for a chilly game. He has a few games left. You win some, you lose some, but at least he’s having fun. 

The weather is changing for the worse here.  There is actually the S-word in the forecast. 

This is the time of year my depression can  gear up and wipe me out. My body goes into hibernation/survival mode. I am trying to stay active and keep my interest in my hobbies up. Of course there are days I just need to nap or veg out on the recliner when the kids are at school. As a caregiver wife & mom, those self-care moments are very important and I need to ignore that inner voice calling me names. 

I am slowly working on getting my online reselling business up & running. Life and my tiredness (hypothyroidism) always seems to set me back. But I am persistent and will not give up on my dreams. I have learned in the past that if you pray and work hard, you can reach your goals with God’s help. 

Our van needs a bit of a tune-up, the snowblower isn’t working yet. I am getting the “before the snow falls” anxiety. 😜 Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.
