  • This check-in is for November 10th – 16th.
  • I’m sick AGAIN, but this time it seems to be a stomach bug. Whatever it is, I need to be over it well before Thanksgiving because I’m not sticking to the BRAT diet during the holidays.

  • This check-in is for November 3rd – 9th.
  • I was out of town this weekend and couldn’t post anything (the hotel’s wi-fi wasn’t good at all). I had a blast at the Ironton Wizard Festival and then went to the Moth Man Museum in Point Pleasant, WV before finally returning home yesterday afternoon. It was a fantastic and fun trip, but I was exhausted when I got home.
  • I’ve passed the 700-mile marker for the Charity Challenge! While I won’t be reaching 1k miles this year, I’ll still be able to hit my goal of 850 miles with a bit of work.

  • This check-in is for October 20th – 26th.
  • I mostly read yesterday since it was Dewey’s 24-Hour #Readathon, but I also went with my boyfriend and a friend who is visiting on a night-time cemetery tour. I went on the same tour by myself last year and loved it, and it was just as good this year.
  • I got the results of my labs, and while some of the numbers weren’t great, they were better than last year, so I’m taking that as a win.

  • This check-in is for October 13th – 19th.
  • I did nothing but read yesterday since the #FrightFall readathon started at 10 a.m. and ended at 10 a.m. this morning. I made it until a little after midnight and then finished the readathon by reading for a couple of hours after I woke up.
  • I made apple butter during the readathon. It made the whole house smell amazing while it simmered in the crockpot. It tastes as amazing as it smells. I’m going to make it again next year if we go apple-picking.
  • I had my annual checkup this week. I’m still waiting on the results of my labs, but I hope the numbers look considerably better than last year.

  • This check-in is for October 6th – 12th.
  • My boyfriend and I went to a Halloween market and then to lunch yesterday. Everything was close to a parking garage near where I work, so we parked there and walked everywhere instead of trying to find street parking closer to the market and then the restaurant. We did a lot of walking, but not too much, and the weather was perfect.
  • I also got the rest of the Halloween decorations up yesterday while we waited for it to get dark so we could watch a couple of Horror movies. We watched two of my favorites, “The Lost Boys” and “Jeepers Creepers” while eating popcorn and a couple of the apples we picked at the orchard. Though I had wanted to go to an all-night Horror movie marathon, I’m glad I didn’t. There’s no way I would have had the energy to be in a movie theater all night.

  • This check-in is for September 29th – October 5th.
  • My boyfriend and I went apple-picking early on Saturday and this morning I sliced up a couple of the apples, coated them in melted butter and cinnamon, and put them in the air fryer for a few minutes while I cooked up some oatmeal. It was the perfect breakfast for a cool Autumn morning.
  • My plan today is to get the Halloween decorations up. I don’t know if I’ll have enough energy to finish everything, but I’m trying not to think about it too much and do what I can.

  • This check-in is for September 15th – 21st.
  • I’ve been a little more active this week thanks to a clothes decluttering and organizing project I couldn’t put off any longer. I’ve lost enough weight that many of the clothes in my closet were a little too big, so I had the Boyfriend pull out the three large plastic tubs of clothes I’ve been keeping in the hopes that I could wear them again someday. I went through everything in the tubs and my closet and put everything too big for me aside for donation. I put everything that fits back in my closet, and the stuff that is still a little too small back into the tubs. I was able to fit everything into two of the tubs, leaving a tub empty for storing something else if need be.
  • The great thing about managing to summon the energy for this project is that I now don’t have to come up with the energy to go shopping. I have more than enough clothes that fit, which also means I’m saving a significant amount of money, especially on clothes for work. That’s a big deal since I’ll be leaving my full-time job within the next six months or so and I won’t need all those business casual clothes anymore.

  • This check-in is for September 8th – 14th.
  • My Boyfriend thinks I’m dealing with burnout and am probably depressed. I think he’s right, despite how much I’ve been reading lately (which is usually one of the first things to go when I’m depressed). Because I’ve been reading so much, I didn’t recognize the signs. I don’t have the energy, either physically or mentally to do much, and I’m struggling with doing basic daily necessities.
  • We did go to see “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” yesterday, which was good, but I’m not handling stress well, and driving to the movie theater ramped my anxiety up and sapped my energy to the point where there was a large part of me that wanted to go back home.
  • The worst part of all this is that there is so much I want to do, especially as we head into spooky season. However, I’m finding more and more that I don’t have the spoons to do any of it. Just thinking about what it would take to do something makes me feel tired. My world is narrowing down again and I never have any idea of when it will open back up.
