How do you de-stress?

Definitely hiking/geocaching. Either with the kids or without. I do definitely need that time alone though, even if it’s just a walk through the neighborhood or whatever. Just silence and being able to think without being pulled in a million different directions.

It’s hard to believe it’s almost Thanksgiving. My sister and niece will be headed this way Wednesday after she gets off work. I’m hoping they let her go a little early so she doesn’t get here in the middle of the night, but we’ll see.

We’ve been texting a lot back and forth the past week or so and she actually said she was really excited about coming, Thanksgiving, and shopping. So it’s nice. I do look forward to her coming as well. Sister time is nice every once and awhile.

The weather looks like it’s going to be amazing as well. We have highs in the 70s for Friday and then high 60s for Saturday. I told her we may go for a nice hike on Saturday if the weather stays nice and sunny.

The big tree lighting in town is Friday evening, so it’s good to know we won’t freeze this year. Last year it was pretty nippy if I remember right.

I have almost marked off my whole To-Do list. I tore apart my living room and got it all swept and mopped. Sawyer and Juliet took all the cushions off the couch and vacuumed it all out and washed down the walls.

The only thing really left is to just clean up the kitchen again probably Tuesday or Wednesday.

No gymnastics today, so we are just staying home which is nice.

I called and made myself a dentist appointment for next week. Not only do I really need a cleaning, but I have been grinding my teeth at night for a good week now. It used to happen sporadically but recently I wake up every single morning with a super tight jaw and a headache so bad I have to take Excedrin. I REALLY don’t want to have to wear a mouthguard to bed, but I also don’t want to grind my teeth down either. So it’s definitely time to do something about it.

We got our Christmast lights put up yesterday! It wasn’t super cold and we had nothing else to do so I figured we might as well. It looks great! We need to get a few more cords because I ran out of outlets, so I’ll pick some up tomorrow.

I am waiting for a few more gift cards to clear, then I can order everything in my Amazon cart! Not bad to get over $150 stuff for just doing some surveys and scanning receipts.

Okay, I’m off to do dishes and get some stuff ready for dinner.
