I'm Fabulous

Werk, werk, werk it out... Have you heard that song? It's on my Morning Bad Bitch playlist and it just really makes me wanna shake my booty all over the house as I get ready for the day. Sometimes you just need a solid beat to move you around.

I'm totally not working out this week by the way. I've done some mild stretching and mobility the last few days, but since my cycle started I've been dog tired in every limb. It's not hard to figure out: my body is demanding I really rest this period. Like real rest, the kind where there are naps involved and I live in my softest clothes and don't actually leave the house except when Yrsa is really crawling into my ear about it.

I have been busy, even in my hermit mode. I've gotten a lot done on this site over the last few days and even though I feel like there's still a million more things to do and the list just keeps getting longer and longer, I'm making great progress. I'm learning all sorts of new things and really pin pointing my style and my vibe as I build the layouts and spiderwebs of information throughout each page.

This time of year always gets me to slow down in a hurry. I want the slow Hobbit Vibe of living peacefully, warm tea in hand, soft knits against my skin, baked goods cooling on the counter. I want to sit around and read while the rain pummels my roof and droplets race down the windows. Snuggling my kids while watching our favorite cozy-day movies, like LOTR or Harry Potter. Something instinctual in me just wants to be part of the slow down. Or it could just be my period.

I have articles to upload today, about mental health and wellness, about the absolute shape shifter energy that comes with motherhood, and how to view your life through rose tinted glasses and romanticize everything so you love it even on those hard days. I have recipes to write for upcoming releases, and a whole slew of posts to organize into new categories.

It really is hard going this alone though, I will say that. Especially when this project started out as a team effort where I had help. I'm totally winging it here. I do have contact with my friend Kyla to help me out, and thankfully I have a team of friends who I can show off my work to and they tell me when or if something looks goofy. That's helpful. Also my husbeard is a YouTube Master, so if I tell him I can't figure something out he's been searching out videos to help me and sends them to me. Love speaks in a lot of voices, ya know? I am surrounded by them lately.

Ataraxia week three can wait for now. I might redo week two just to get my bearings back. A week plus rest right in the middle of Ataraxia doesn't feel like it's conducive to jumping back into one of the hardest weeks of the final month of Valkyrie Squad.

It's unreal to me that I'm that close to finishing it.

So yeah, that's this week's update. I'm resting as much as I can but also still busting my ass with 10 hour days working on making this site as immaculate as possible.

I'm on cycle day 3 though, and that does mean that my energy should be ramping up today. So I'll probably go out and run sword drills at some point this afternoon just to move my body and feel strong and capable again. Less blob vibe, more badassery.

Even the statue is telling me to go run drills.
