Saturday. One week until Christmas. This pic was taken day before yesterday, I don't look human today. Post booster shot I look like I've been hit by a semi. Yesterday was BAD, today not quite as. If it is even a mild preview of what Covid-19 feels like, I can tell you that is not something I want to mess with.
❤
Amazing things are happening in my family today. I wish the happiest of birthdays to my niece, who turns 30 today. She's grown from an amazing little girl to an inspiring woman. A mother, a wife, daughter, and granddaughter- she's everything I want to be when I grow up.
❤
Her brother, another amazing human, marries the love of his life today. He's now a young man my son looks up to. He is intelligent, kind, and caring, the kind of man I hope my son grows up to be. My health isn't great, so I'm unable to be with them today. But, my heart is with them and filled with joy and pride as they step across these important milestones. My best to all of you today. ❤

It's Thursday and I am exhausted. But tomorrow is BBQ & Frosty Beverage Friday and I'm 100% here for it.

It'll take me 3 days to recover (not a lot of spoons left in the drawer) but staying home is the opposite of what I need to be doing. As introverted as I am, being around the people whose company I enjoy fortifies me. It gives me the strength to bulldoze any challenges I might face in the week ahead. And, there are usually a few of those.

So, cheers y'all. The outgoing introvert is about to spend some spoons to gain some spoons.

SIDE NOTE: For some reason, my brain keeps telling me to refer to the rare and precious event that is me making and keeping plans as "playing musical spoons!'"
HA!

But, I dunno.
I mean is it catchy? Absolutely.
Does it make any actual sense, contextually? No idea, but leaning toward Hells No.

I don't even care. I'm old enough to laugh at my own jokes.
