December 2025 wrap-up

Only rest and relax.

That’s what I said I’d do for December. But I think I’ve failed at even that. If there’s anyone in the world who can fail at rest, it’s me.

December ended up being exhausting.

I forgot how travel can be exhausting.
I forgot how the two weeks before and after travel is exhausting because I got to grind back the lost hours of freelance work.
I forgot how prepping for my driving test can be exhausting.
I forgot how lack of routine can be exhausting.
I forgot how school holidays can be exhausting.

Do I regret failing at this goal? Nope.

It is what it is.
Such is my life stage.
Such is family life.
Such is reality for now.

I suspect December won’t be for rest and relax anymore, in the near future.

I accept it, even though my body is protesting now - down with flu, sprained my back carrying the little one.

Things will get better once school starts and routine returns.

Onwards.
