Good morning everyone and welcome to Monday and a brand new week
We are hurtling, I would say, rather than edging, towards Christmas. I’m in awe of how fast it’s all flying by. And I just want to say sorry for disappearing the past couple of days. I’ve been deep in the Christmas chaos, trying to get presents sorted, juggling family life, and doing the usual 500 things that come with December.
And to be honest, I’ve been really enjoying the slightly slower pace of life. I know that might sound strange coming from me because I usually work seven days a week. Whether it’s on the page or behind the scenes, I’m always on the go. But I can feel myself starting to unfurl a bit and it’s actually lovely. So I leaned into it for a couple of days. But I’m back today.
I think I’ve just about finished the Christmas shopping (don’t quote me) though like a lot of you I’m now in the phase of obsessively checking tracking numbers and wondering if my parcels are currently on a boat doing laps of the Bermuda Triangle. There’s always one present you’re mad excited to give that ends up stuck in a warehouse in Lithuania for three weeks. But anyway, onwards we go.
A few updates
I’ll be pulling the winner for the €20 voucher later today so make sure you’re in for that if you haven’t already
We’ll be doing some intuitive readings this week too so keep an eye out
The live is happening, I haven’t forgotten. I’ll pop up the date as soon as I know it. If you miss it don’t worry, you’ll be able to watch it back on the page
The weekend vanished in a blink. The girls were out Saturday night so I got about 17 minutes of sleep and a heart rate of 140. And honestly, I’ve just felt wrecked lately. Not sick exactly, just no energy at all which is weird for me. I usually power through everything even when I shouldn’t. But I’ve been having little nana naps and letting myself rest when I need it. Maybe I need a good tonic. Or maybe I need to ditch the Red Bull and start eating like a grown-up but let’s be real, the tonic sounds easier.
Speaking of being sick, poor Adam is down with a dose. I’m praying it’s not that horrible flu that’s wiped out half the country. His girlfriend had it last week and she was floored. And let’s be honest, if I get it, everything goes to hell. So I might start wrapping a few presents today just in case. Control freak? Me? Absolutely. I want the wrapping done before my immune system clocks off for Christmas.
I’ve also got to brave Tesco at some point. I’ve been slowly building up a little Christmas food stash over the past week but I have a strong suspicion that Mia has been pilfering it by night. Evidence has been found. Chocolate Santas don’t just walk off by themselves.
And on that note I’m honestly just really looking forward to Mia being off school for Christmas. These early mornings have been pure chaos but she’s doing so well at the moment. I was at something in her school on Friday that she helped organise and I was just bursting with pride. Mainstream school didn’t suit her but where she is now, she’s thriving. And after the year she’s had, I’m beyond grateful for that.
So that’s me for now. I’ll be back shortly with what I don’t know yet but Piggy says it’ll be worth it
Whatever you’re doing today, I hope it’s kind to your heart and not too heavy on your soul
Talk soon
