November was a MONTH and seems December is following suit. Headphones and EMDR playlists for anxiety relief are saving me today. As is the sunshine.

Phew. Managed to get tickets for my kids dance recital before it sold out! One less stressful holiday thing to do.

Day 6 of my coffee advent calendar and I think I’m getting the hang of the pour over game. These coffees aren’t always my favourite but I’m consistently making a very good cup of coffee! The scale makes all the difference.

I took myself out for a sunshine filled walk. I’m still tired and in a mood, but that was a good downtown walk. There is still some good in this day!

Today has been a lot. Panic attack at 4 a.m., power out at 5:45, fun drive to the office after taking the kid to school. But still a full day ahead. TGIF.

I’m so over this flash freeze type of weather with the fresh paving on Peggy’s Cove Road that STILL doesn’t have any painted lines. I hate dark night driving in the rain and this makes every drive an adrenaline filled, white knuckle drive. Yay for parent teacher night.

I treated myself to a coffee advent calendar this year. It is whole beans. I also treated myself to a new grinder and pour over dripper. I'm amazed that I have made two very good cups of coffee so far! Following instructions and using my scale for the win!

First two nights of supplements for sleep went well, but last night, nah. Panic attack, terrible sleep. Oh well. I have high hopes that this coffee will fix enough to not only let me function, but enjoy this Monday at the office. So far, so good.

Night two of trying some supplements to help me sleep and my daughter has been awake since before 4. Some day I will sleep, right?

Took a half vacation day today to chaperone my kiddo’s field trip to see the local high school musical. Sitting in the parking lot now waiting and feel so far removed from that high school era!

Making nuggets and fries at 10:30 so my kiddo won’t be hungry when she goes to the movies with friends today. Food allergy and celiac momma, always have to feed them before sending her out without me!

Have any of you perimenopausal women experienced hair loss? I have been experiencing more loss each wash, but tonight noticed a quarter sized bald patch on my head. Google tells me hormonal shifts, stress, plus many other things.

I bought myself a coffee advent calendar back in August with coffees from Canadian roasters thinking future me would be excited. I was right! It should arrive this weekend! Now to master the pour over before December 1.

I’m at 24 kids now. I’m getting cold and my kid isn’t home yet. I hear many more up the road.

The last kid: ‘I definitely didn’t just change costumes!’ Lol. If you’ve got that much dedication to treats, go for it kid!

I’m not a sleeper and neither is my kid. She’s had me up since 4. I’m now drinking coffee in her room while she reads Harry Potter. I have my thoughts on the author, but she’s enjoying the book and I’m enjoying her comments while she reads.

Something in my house started beeping randomly this afternoon. I removed batteries from my first guess. Nope. Now I’ve unplugged two cordless phones that sometimes beep. And I wait… will there be more beeps?

Just changed my profile pic from a painting my kid did when she was 6 to an anime version of me she did recently. Makes me really think about getting bangs and just being an anime version of myself.

My kiddo’s Halloween Derpy hat is finished. The costume was done last week but this was the more important part!

Thought I’d spend the day watching TV. What do adults watch these days? TV is usually on kids shows. Finished ‘Children Ruin Everything’ on Netflix and now no idea. Sitcoms are my fave.

Everyone’s different but my double vaccine hit hard. Headache, chills, tired, feel generally like I had a much more exciting night last night than I did. I went to bed at 9:30 exhausted.
