Weekly Wrap Up | 1/29/23

Aloha friends!

The weeks are flying by and I wish I got a day off – but single parent life is my gig for 23 more months. So I’m just like my kids, looking forward to every holiday weekend they have got coming. Is it spring break yet? LOL…end of the school year yet? I’m looking forward to those breaks and yet not really because that would mean the year would be half over! 🤦🏻‍♀️ January is almost over and next week will be my kids 100’th day in school. Woohoo!

My daughter has a cold but the vog (volcanic air) has been bad this week – my sinuses have been acting up too. But we are both okay!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Aloha friends!

It was a nice short week and my kids and I had a busy weekend (every weekend seems busy these days). So this week flew by. I can’t quite believe it’s already Sunday! 🙃 I feel like I have no breaks anymore.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

It’s amazing what a week not filled with a hundred tasks can do for my body. Headache/tight muscles went away the moment I could relax and didn’t have to run around like a chicken without it’s head. I got a chance to read and relax and just center myself. Hopefully I can get through more books this week!

Aloha friends!

I hope all of you had a good week! Mine was busy but I had a nice break this week and actually finished reading a few books. Yay!

I’m excited it’s a 3-day weekend and we have tomorrow off. I am trying to plan a trip to visit my husband in Okinawa hopefully in March. Tickets are so pricey – yikes! But our kids miss him a lot. In 3 days it will have been one month he’s been gone! I felt like he just left last week or something. So like I told him — the days are gonna go by fast and sure enough, it is. I can’t say the same for him though – he is finally in an apartment and waiting for us to visit lol. So he’s lonely (he will start work officially this week though) and he calls us on face-time twice a day, even just to hear our dog bark at him through the phone haha. So hopefully we can go in March.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

I really, really want to read but it’s been a long week and I have tight muscle in my neck/shoulder (I’m self assessing myself because I used to be a massage therapist!)…that’s giving me twinges of a headache on the same side of my head of the tight muscle. I just need to get a massage so I can relax. I am reading The Stolen Heir and loving it just haven’t had time to finish. Same with One Dark Window! I hope I finish both books this week…but first I need to get a massage to loosen up the stress in my body.

Aloha friends!

What a week! 🤯

We celebrated my nephew and daughter’s birthday. My kids had a few doctor’s appointments, and they went back to school. My hubby was in Los Angeles for his dad’s funeral and his flight back to Okinawa was riddled with delays, missed flights, etc…he officially HATES flying right now. How did he happen to his every kind of flying drama in the span of 3 weeks? Poor guy, plus his sleep is truly messed up with all the time zones he has traveled. He has a lot to get done this week before he starts his official job so I pray it goes smoothly from here on out.

Yesterday was my daughter’s birthday party so I am exhausted today but I have to take them to Sunday school soon. So no break for me. I’ll finally have a break on Tuesday…just got to take one day at a time! Hopefully I can actually have energy to read this week also.

I hope all of you had a good week!

It’s the first WWW Wednesday of 2023! I hope everyone had a nice New Year celebration. It’s hump day but it’s been a long week for me and it will be a long weekend for me also. So…I might not get much reading done this week – but this is what I’m working on!

Weekly Wrap Up | 1/1/23 | Happy New Year!

Aloha friends!

I was kind of relieved the holiday rush of Christmas was over. We made it through Hanukkah and Christmas without my hubby – the kids survived it and I was glad. We use face-time with him a lot so it’s been really nice for us.

My family (parents and sister and her family) slept over my house on New Year’s Eve because their neighborhood always sounds like a war zone before and after midnight. I feel so bad for their dog and all the pets that get traumatized by fireworks. My neighborhood isn’t as loud and it helps that my house is insulated – so loud bombs/bangs are a bit muffled.

There was some bad news to end 2022. My father-in-law unexpectedly passed away on 12/28/22. He did have neck surgery 2 weeks ago and was dealing with some undiagnosed UTI issues I think but he was unresponsive on Wednesday morning. Thing is my hubby’s step-mom called him frantic because his dad kept trying to go to the bathroom and falling over. He said he was fine and didn’t need to go to a doctor or ER. Clearly he was not fine – that was my hubby’s last time talking to him. So it’s been….quite a week. My hubby flies out to Los Angeles today (Monday Okinawa time) for the funeral. I cannot believe the amount of flying he’s done in the past 6 weeks alone. Poor guy.

Today is my nephew’s 15th birthday. And then my daughter is turning 6 in 2 days. We’re having a party on Saturday and whew am I trying to conjure up energy and positivity!

I’m just trying to hold it all together but I can’t believe this is how 2023 is starting. I pray for patience and peace. I pray for strength and good health. My husband gave me a gift card for a massage so when I get a chance, I’m definitely going to use it!

I hope ALL of you have a Happy New Year!

I think I’ve officially slowed down for the year. I mean there is only a few days left of 2022 and there’s no book I’m pressing to finish before it ends. What I am trying to work on are arcs that are due in January and February. And some pleasure reading from the books I treated myself to, One Dark Window being one of them.

I’ll have more time to read when my kids go back to school next week Thursday (maybe) – I have a birthday party to throw. Maybe after that I’ll have more free time. But I can’t believe 2023 is already starting off so quickly. 😩 I also possibly have a Okinawa trip to plan soon so…I’m a bit overwhelmed lol. Hope you are getting to unwind a bit before the New Year!
