I have to tell you: when you work from home and are without a mean of transportation, all you wanna do is get out of there as soon as you can. But once you spend your time working outside, you just want to be home now and then… that is what I am just now realizing. I hate that I think of my job all the time, I dream about it and everything and I really don’t like that I can’t control my thoughts.
Earlier this week, I posted about a struggle I am facing and would love your input if you have a few minutes.

This week, I am thankful for:

Willow (Smith) is releasing a new album today. I’ve loved her for a long time now and can’t wait to be home to listen to it
Days off rock my world even if they feel too short
Riding my bike to work, but the possibility to get a cab if needed (think pouring rain with thunder)
Cooking and meal prep
Books (I just finished Confess by Colleen Hoover and loved it, the art inside is stunning)
We decided to stay in our current home so we are planning medium and long term renovations
Journaling, pouring my heart on paper
Writing snail mail (would you want to write to me? I’d love to bring back the art of writing and receiving real mail…)
My Husband. And my Mom acknowledging he is amazing
Playing in my art journal. I miss it so badly it actually aches inside
The seeds I planted are now beautiful wildflowers: I love it!

Is it Saturday afternoon yet? This week has been filled with plenty of overtime hours at work and it feels like it will never end. But I am proving to my boss that I have potential so, it’s what matters. Gaining confidence to avoid another anxiety attack (which the past three weeks have seen plenty of).
My body decided to shut down and go full on fibromyalgia flare… but it is not a surprise and I manage it as best as I can.

This week, I am thankful for:

The possibility to take a cab to work when the sky is absolutely breaking loose and taking my bike is out of the question
I am improving at work
I made a cute mini art journal (see on my Instagram)
My video for next week is filmed
My butt is shaping up (yay biking to work!) and I am losing weight
I finally start seeing myself doing my job for a longer period of time
Decisions made about our home
Sleep
Epsom cream to put on my shoulder blade

This week’s soundtrack:

This week, a heat wave hit us. My daughters are home alone when I am working, and I have been working odd hours this week. I don’t like the idea of them in our pool without an adult around (even though they are 12 and soon-to-be 14) but they were allowed to sit in the shallow part during the day.
I realize there is a lot I want to share here and need to find the balance, something I did not have to deal with for a decade almost…

This week, I am thankful for:

Making progress in my skills at work
My daughter got her first alone babysitting paid job
I work in a place where the A/C runs all day long
My Husband, he’s amazing
Having spent time in my Studio
Editing videos again, both for me and for people
Honest talks with my Husband
My daughters coming to have lunch for me at my workplace
Riding my bike in the morning
Books
Our swimming pool
This blog, a bit of me in the World
Losing weight

I’m writing this Gratitude Friday from my phone, in the car. We are on our way back from a few days north of Toronto, Ontario. Sunshine, hikes, game boards, rest… I guess the four of us needed this more than we thought.

This week, I am thankful for:

Wizards Unite game, I’m too addicted though
The possibility to take these few days off work
Family time
My girls did not fight *that* much
A car comfy enough for road trips
Hiking
Finally having eaten at Momofuku Noodle bar and having tried some sweets from their Milk Bar
Sleep
