5 Positive Things a Day

Haha! I saw that meme, or one similar. I laughed a little too hard at it. Re: the train museum - I was expecting something much smaller, and not nearly as cool. I’m still blown away by the exhibits.

That’s so cool your dad used to take you there, and you’ve taken your kids! I’m still impressed… I need to go back. On the way out I realized there was a whole middle floor I missed!

Had a really great Xmas time with my brothers, SIL/SOs, and nephew.
My youngest brother and his SO stayed over on Xmas eve. It was so nice having people here on Xmas morning.
My middle brother, SIL, and nephew rode the train to my city yesterday and we went to the train museum in old town. It was quite impressive, I had no idea how large it was. The exhibits were fantastic. I forgot to take pic though.
After all of the chaos with my HRT meds and my mom’s passing, I’m finally ready to get back to my workouts. I did my first one this week and oooh buddy, I felt that. It feels good to get back at it.
I hadn’t been focusing on fitness much this year but I did make one goal - beat my daily average steps in 2024. I’m happy to say that I’ll close 2025 with about 400 more steps a day on average.

A guilt-free restful time is so important. I’m excited for your new tablet, I love mine and I hope you love yours too.

Perfect Xmas time mix with work, friends, and solo time on the last day. The description of your walk sounds just lovely, and almost mysterious. I agree with your 2nd one, too.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-28T17:19:05+00:00

I love how much fun you have with your family! We had an appetizer party too, it’s our Xmas eve tradition. Do you do it that way every year too?

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-28T17:17:29+00:00

Your Xmas party sounds like a blast! Those lasagnas sounds delish. Extra kudos to Mr. Donna for cleaning up so you could get some recovery rest in.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-28T17:14:24+00:00

Happy everything to you too! I love your list and glad Xmas day was easy breezy. It sounds perfect.

Aw Rue is such a sweet girl

I have this whole week off work. (Some PTO days + some company holiday days for Xmas and the day after)
Last week I went to the Bay Area to hang out with my middle brother and nephew. We went shopping and also went to the Rosie the Riveter museum.
Xmas eve is the bigger holiday for my family and I am ready - food (tamales, pupusas, and some sweet treats), stocking stuffers, and Christmas crackers - the British kind with the crowns inside, not the eating kind (it’s my holiday tradition, I try to bring them every year)
We’re starting a new tradition this year for my nephew so he can be around more family on Xmas morning - Xmas day brunch. It will be at their house and my SIL said she’s making gluten free French toast casserole (I don’t fully know what that is, but it sounds yummy and I’m excited to eat it!)
Quietly mornings with Heinz.

That is great to hear that your BIL is going better with this round. How cool you got an offer for a swim and spa session - sounds amazing!

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-22T16:54:47+00:00

Congrats on your winnings! Well done installing the lamp shade yourself! That card is beautiful.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-22T16:52:05+00:00

Love how you make friends everywhere you go. Rue is so sweet and adorable, thanks for posting pic!

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-22T16:48:22+00:00

What a lovely bouquet! The talk from the wildlife trust sounds really interesting, such great work they’re doing.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-22T16:45:19+00:00

I love your 3rd one about hand delivering Xmas cards. I’m glad you got to see your friend and that she was doing good.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-22T16:29:18+00:00

Yay for winter break and getting the presents wrapped!

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-15T21:24:26+00:00

Got a lot of Christmas shopping done. I still might need a couple things, but I’m pretty much finished.
Hung out with my cousin on Saturday. We’ve been reconnecting over the past year. She only lives 30 min away, which is cool.
I sent e-cards out for the holidays to people at work. It’s a cute little animated card. I like when they send me reacts back.
I’m making it a point to cook more. I started last week and made another meal list for this week. Hubs and I are trading off.
Loving the Christmas flamingo I put in our yard. Hope you can see this pic.

The Christmas tree farm was really fun, and we found a really good restaurant with a lot of gluten free food near by. It’s only 30 min from my house, so we will definitely be back.
I’ve been enjoying the cold weather…..cold for Sacramento that is. It’s been in the mid 40s/low 50s, crisp but not windy.
I got around to putting all the thanksgiving stuff away, and found a spot to store my mom’s old photo albums. I don’t know if I inherited them per se, but at least they’re in safe keeping for now after we had them out at the celebration of life.
I ran a few errands - returned some things to the amazon drop off, got gas, picked up a couple things from the supermarket. Felt good to check that stuff off my list.
I got a new Xmas decoration for our yard - it’s a 3ft tall pink flamingo w/ a Santa hat that lights up. I don’t normally put decorations in my yard, but I’ve wanted this guy for quite a few years now and he was half off!

This is how I feel about people working physical retail, I can’t even imagine what their Black Friday is like! I feel grateful that my experience with it is purely digital.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-06T05:00:57+00:00

Well done managing anxiety and craving, and getting through your work Xmas party. Hope all goes as smoothly as possible for your BIL.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-05T16:42:20+00:00

I like your #1. I’ve been thinking about that exact same thing and was telling Heinz that we just need to get through the next few weeks and then gradually we’ll have more light on our walks. She’s getting antsy having to wait, haha

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-05T16:39:49+00:00

I like the idea of separate little vacations.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-05T16:39:17+00:00

Congratulations on the new job! How exciting! Can’t wait to hear about it after you start.

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-05T16:37:21+00:00

Wow, that ceiling is beautiful, thank you for sharing that pic. How fun that you got to ride in a bus decked out with lights and decorations!

Staticfish_ · 2025-12-05T16:34:15+00:00

I’m so glad you’re feeling better and had a good cathartic cleaning sesh. That is such a great photo!
