Mutual respect is absolutely necessary for any successful relationship.
Sometimes letting go is the only answer. Detach from the outcomes and trust.
Rearranging my space / house always feels so nice.
Most people are just projecting their own unlearned issues onto people- stop taking things personally.
Everyone you know is struggling with something in some sort of capacity, it’s better to just be kind always.
Today was such a nice day, despite the weather being windy and cloudy. My husband and I went to a very late breakfast at our usual spot, which was delicious as always! Prior to that I started laundry, took care of the dishes as well as the garbage (these are normally my husband’s chores, but I was feeling motivated this morning LOL) and I picked up the groceries! It was nice to have all of that done early in the morning.
This afternoon I decided to make some juice for the week, which are all f*cking delicious! I love when I have my husband try new juice recipes and seeing how he lights up after trying each one! I’ll post the pictures I put on my snapchat story below!
Overall, today was such a great day! We’re gonna have some dinner soon and I may do some diamond beading after that. I was thinking about finally starting an audiobook I downloaded a while ago, but I also may just listen to a true crime podcast like I usually do. I’m determined to make this week ahead a good week! Sending love and good vibes to everyone!
I accidentally woke up to my husband’s alarm this morning, so I ended up giving my cat her insulin 40 minutes late. Luckily it really doesn’t matter that much, and I’m blessed that my husband still hasn’t turned off that pesky 6:40am Sunday alarm! Now I’m going to try to go back to sleep, however our cat Deacon has the “zoomies” and keeps doing this loud ass meow in our bathroom.
I have now closed the bathroom door to keep him out and he is now doing little half meows by the bedroom door. Mind you, he is in our room, so he can just come over here to the bed and cuddle, but he’d rather do whatever tf this is.
Yesterday I had a great time at my friend’s bridal shower! We had Olive Garden, espresso martini’s and tons of laughs! Her friends are all super easy to talk to and get along with, just like her! It’s gonna be so great going to her wedding and having fun with everyone there!
Today shall be a chill day with my husband. We’re gonna grab some breakfast this morning and possibly rearrange a couple rooms in the house. If not today, we can at least envision it! I would love to make some juice for the week and ideally some egg bites too, so we will see!
For now, I’m gonna put my phone back down and try to get a couple more hours of sleep. Usually if I fall back asleep after being up like this, I end up having some vivid dreams, so we will see what happens! I’m now remembering I had kind of a scary dream that I was able to wake myself up from last night. Weird.
I definitely am not loving how dark it is in the morning now that we just had Daylight Savings, but it will be nice that it will be lighter out later. This weekend was nice and chill, mainly just hung around the house with my husband- he hasn’t been feeling 100% since I was sick, so I’m hoping he wakes up feeling much better today. Let’s make today a great Monday!
I saw this post on Instagram about how the matriarchy is rising, and that some men will be scared of this. Within that post was a reference to how some men think that when women talk about the matriarchy, that they think women want to “rule over men.” This is not the case.
I honestly believe that thought is rooted both in ignorance, and fear. Ignorance makes sense, because none of us have been alive to see the matriarchy rise; we’re all used to this current system, which we can very blatantly see does not protect women or children. The fear, I think, comes from recognizing that almost every woman they know has been harassed or abused by a man in sometime in their life, so some men probably assume women want to seek revenge on men.
That fear is not completely wrong to have, as I’m sure there are tons of women who would love to bring back the witch trials and reverse the roles. I’m not going to lie, if there is evidence of people doing satanic rituals that include raping and eating children, I don’t see why the death penalty wouldn’t at least be on the table. However, most of us know on a soul level that it will not help to continue to burn people, but the constant covering up and protection of these horrific crimes against humanity can no longer continue- this is where the matriarchy comes in.
When I think of the matriarchy, there is no “ruling over” anyone- it’s all about community.
Think back to the caveman days: the women were always in community with each other and the children, while men would go and hunt and gather. Women focused on keeping each other and the children safe, and the men used their skills to bring food and supplies back to their families. This is a balance. The matriarchy needs men as well, and it is in our roots to help one another and work as a team. The matriarchy is about protecting children, recognizing how important it is to raise caring, empathetic humans for this world.
The matriarchy rising is not supposed to be a war between men and women, it’s the reuniting. It’s recognizing that we are meant to be a team. It’s holding each other accountable and taking responsibility for our actions. We as humans are meant to protect, help, and love one another, while also protecting and raising the generations to come. The matriarchy is not rooted in power, it’s rooted in love.
Gratitude always makes me feel more present and grounded, so I want to take a moment to list what is keeping me happy lately:
• my husband (he’s the best) ♡
• diamond dot art
• iced coffee
• morbid podcast
• cute blank cards w/ colorful envelopes
• my comfy bed
• crafting with my gal friends
I am SOOOOOO happy it’s Friday! This week felt like an eternity of chaotic energy and I am just ready to have some fun this weekend! I’m going to run to TJ today to grab a couple more things for my friend’s baby since her baby shower is Sunday! I need to place a grocery order around my busy weekend as well, because tomorrow I’m hanging with my other friend to celebrate her birthday that just passed! Sometimes the weekends can be overwhelming to me when I have more than one day of plans, but I know that we all could use community / good company so I will enjoy that.
I feel like we all need to start re-centering and re-grounding ourselves. We all need to learn how to feel our emotions, instead of shoving them away.
I’m actually pretty sad that I get anxious to go on walks by my house. I cried about it the other day- but to be fair, I’m also on my period. I’ve just had a couple bad experiences, like 1. watching a dog get hit by a car and 2. some guy was going to try to kidnap me. oh.. and 3. a creepy coworker of mine showed up to my house unannounced while I was on a walk. Needless to say, I don’t really feel calm on my walks- I’m typically on high alert.
I selfishly hate that my cat has diabetes. It’s so hard for my husband and I to take vacations because she has to have her insulin twice a day, and she’s did horrible when she had an 8 hour stay at the vet, so she can’t really be put in a kitty hotel for long. I don’t want to fly her anywhere and driving her in a car for hours would also stress her out so it’s just all annoying as shit.
I am tired of patients yelling at me when aim trying to help them. You can’t really yell at me about your insurance policy- you signed up for it, not me. I didn’t write in the frequencies or downgrades or make up any of the stupid rules for your plan, and I also agree with you that they are stupid rules. It’s patients and providers against the insurance companies- don’t yell at me when I’m on your side!
I definitely need to drink more water.
I could really use a technology free day by the ocean. Warm sun, a light breeze, sand in my toes, and the sounds of the ocean… I feel like that would heal me.
I’m annoyed that Tell Me Lies is over.
Well, I forgot to post yesterday so my streak is ruined again LOL! This is my starting again! I just remote started my car because it snowed yesterday and it is currently 10°, but feels like -6° outside, and I’m really not looking forward to cleaning off my car. Tomorrow the high for the day is -4° with a real feel of -40° so I’m praying our office closes tomorrow. I am so over winter it’s disgusting at this point.
It’s 9:44pm and I’m off to sleep. Hoping to get a solid 8 hours before work tomorrow. Regardless of how much sleep I get, and regardless of the fact that mother nature paid her visit today giving me insane cramps, I am determined to make tomorrow a great day. Getting some sleep will help with that for sure, and laying on this heating pad is giving me such relief. I am so grateful that I had such a wonderful weekend with my husband, and I know this will be a great week ahead.
