What a great Sunday so far. Did a strength workout at home. Took the boys to the gym. Got some smoothies. Went to the store. Came home to Amazon Prime subscribe and Save package. Now I'm going to make some chocolate chip banana bread. And then go to vegan Mongolian buffet with my parents!

Snapshots. Pretty pleased with my sleep this season. As you can see, I consistently get over 8 hours a night even when working. When on Christmas break, I average close to 11! Hot my steps goal 3 days in a row.

Memorable Mondays

One of my friends says she does a thing called Memorable Mondays, where every week she writes down all the good stuff that’s happened. My last week has just been hellish in some ridiculous and preposterous ways - just to prove that the thing you worry about are never the things that will actually get you in the end!!

Consequently I've spent a lot of time this weekend focussing on the awesome stuff that's been going on and reminding myself that lame stuff is allowed to happen and it's doesn't mean it's a bad life, just a bad week. 

I have three pretty major highlights this year - our five week trip to the States was pretty freaking spectacular in so many ways - from helicoptering over the Grand Canyon, to swimming with dolphins, to getting so lost and stumbling upon a gorgeous park in San Fran where little old ladies were doing their tai chi and teenagers were sunbathing and dogs were running around going crazy. To spend five weeks with the Boyfie and to only have our schedule to work to was just, amazing. I'm so lucky to have him by my side as my partner in crime and personal heater. 

Second major win was the running group - having them all there to cheer with them and commiserate with them and to help carry each other through the shitty runs and the injuries and the frustrations, and the elation at the finish line and all the goodness - they have been game changing. The unbridled support and having a space where you are allowed to be proud of yourself for your achievements and how things are going has been huge and instrumental in all the other changes I’ve made in my life this year. I highly doubt I would be where I am today without signing up for all of that - good impulse purchasing Catherine!!! 

Our new car was also a pretty major win - getting to teach Dave how to drive is fun, having a car we know nothing will go wrong with is freaking AWESOME and just being able to pack up and leave whenever we want to is so so SO good for mental health. I swear. I love it. Good old little blue. I’m pretty excited that the car  I teach my future husband to drive in will (hopefully) be the same car I get to teach my kids how to drive in. 

Also pretty happy that Boyfie has suggested that next year will be a good time to buy a house - that’s kinda crazy to think about if you ask me, and all kind of scary and adulting, but SO MANY KINDS OF AWESOME. I can’t even explain.
