Hi Everyone
Well. ….. I do apologize for taking such a long hiatus. I never thought I would be at that point, but I went so strong for so long and then with my parents wreck (which we were lucky that you know, that they *walked* away from it basically with no real injuries, and just horrible memories- and that David , Marley & I weren’t with them and all that thing) and with COVID (I haven’t really been out and about very much- not that I really ever was out and about that much really LOL- it was better before than it has been!) It has made me a little bit more reserved in some ways and I just haven’t felt like I wanted to write about anything- or have had anything to really write about.
I *did* try to do a gift guide for the year before and this year. The one last year, things kept falling through and this year I probably could have did one off of things that I was pitched for, but I was afraid of getting overwhelmed because of not having done one in a while.
Also, Seasonal depression has got me REALLY good this year- and EARLIER on than last year. I mean, it is always different, don’t get me wrong but- man I felt this coming when we had our first little bout of coolness- and let me tell you we are in the 70’s here in the south and it almost January so it is CRAZY. Last year I nearly made it on through the whole winter and it was awesome. The funniest thing about last year is I bought the cricut and a nintendo switch and all that to try to help. Let me tell you though, when that crap hits- ain’t none of that gonna appeal to you!
I have high hopes for trying to be healthier in the new year as well. I did do sober october and it went really well- I went well into november with it! By saying that though, I am by no means saying i’m an alcoholic or have alcohol issues- it was just something that I wanted to try. I ain’t like some people who want to say “oh Nichole is such an alcoholic and blah blah”- but they sitting around popping pills and drinking out of bottles of alcohol at the same time- so- Yeah. I might write more about how the sober october went down- and I am trying to do Dry January as well. I found a really awesome girl with a really awesome book that is coming out in a few days so- look for that.
I think as I have gotten older I have a lower tolerance for the folks that want to troll me online, and don’t even care anymore. I leave comments off because I don’t need to see the stupid from some people. I know you exist, I know what you think of me and well- just bugger off!
Oh and on that healthy thing? I just went yesterday with my mom and got a crap ton of vitamins and supplements and I am working on getting a few more. I am so darn sick of feeling the way I have been- A lot of it is this dark dreary time change BS (If you like this standard time, I don’t get you lol- You like it dark at 5 p/m?) and a lot of it is hormonal. I have been having a TIME with my skin for the past 2 1/2 years or so- apparently I not only get some random breakouts, but I am getting hormonal breakouts too?
Oh and my hormones have got SO WHACKED- seriously I have cried over the dumbest crap in the last week and its all hormones- it is just mixing together SO crazy! and you know how my sleep likes to be randomly crazy too? Well, let me tell you. I got a halo band as one of my little sober october presents from David (I love incentives lol) and my sleep score the last week or so has been in the freaking 30’s! i was being in the 80’s and doing really well- my newest thing is waking up at sometime between 1-3 and not being able to go back to sleep. I have been doing a thing called a sleep bath though, and it has SUPER helped. I am back in the 70’s and its making me feel less crazy
I actually did get out and about with my mom yesterday for a few minutes- so that was nice. David has been working till like 630 this week so things have been SO odd- with me trying to go to bed early as crap so If I do wake up in the middle of the night, at least I have a little extra sleep and him working late I don’t feel like I have even seen him- last night I stayed up till 930ish and oh that was late for me – he’s actually been putting me to bed and staying up- it is like we have switched roles.
Well… I want to ramble some more but I need to go get some hamburger meat fried so I can make some stuffed shells for dinner (I call it Raviolli, but I guess technically it might not be lol)
SO yes, I am still here and I Hope to make a come back and get back into blogging- especially since David got me a new macbook Air for Christmas. 🙂
Maybe I can write some more after I get a few more things done in the house. I hope to bring you all some good stuff, healthy stuff , recipes and who knows what if I Can just manage to get a few things regulated 🙂
