We are having the lowest temperatures North Texas has had in over 15 years. I had to work yesterday, but due to the strain on the power system, the library is closed today. Luckily, the child has been remarkably charming for being locked in the house for the second day in a row. A went out to the grocery store this morning, risking her life to provide my son with raisins. It has been extremely pleasant to be at home today. I emptied the dishwasher, put away some laundry, and changed the sheets on the bed. But mostly, I read books to my kid and watched stupid television. My diet is absolutely blown with the muffins we made and the soup I ate for lunch. Not to mention the complete lack of exercise this week.
What Kind of Life Do You Want: A Midlife Crisis Exercise I want a comfortable life. I want air-conditioning when it's hot and I want hot water in my shower and I want soft pillows on my bed. I want a life of community. I want to volunteer at the food pantry and sing in the church choir and serve on a municipal parks board. I want a life of connection. I want to be a healthy, safe mother to my son and a support to my partner and I want strong relationships with my family of origin. I want a life of wellness. I want to get enough sleep and eat enough vegetables and drink enough water and move my body in ways that feel good. I want a life of growth. I want to learn new things and visit new places and learn new skills.
