Happy October! I hope everyone is doing well! This week was still fairly rough with sleep struggles and the drain from travel, but it was easier than last week. I was able to take it easy, resting and relaxing more even though I had to get up early to take the boys I babysit/tutor to school. Taking time to have a breather was nice and helped me feel a bit more normal. The fall weather started to creep in this week, although the heat kept striking back with a vengeance. I look forward to the cool fall weather being the norm, as heat and I don't mix well. Things are going to get busy as we approach the holiday season, so I'm trying to rest up and rejuvenate before the chaos hits.

It was a bit tricky trying to get back in the groove of things, and mornings came pretty early with the continued sleep struggles (although not nearly as bad as on the cruise). The boys were happy to see me again, asking about what I did and where I went. They were also excited about the start of "spooky month," discussing different festive inflatables they could put out into their yard if they could have any that they wanted. The pair had a busy week, full of practice, homework, and after school activities, so they were excited when the weekend rolled around, giving them the opportunity to relax. I hope that school doesn't get to be too overwhelming for them.
Tsuki was glad to have us home all week, getting into all sorts of antics and shenanigans. She also enjoyed plenty of cozy cat naps and snuggling. Tsuki could be found in all of her favorite spots, opting to often take it easy. It was a week, and having her in it made it easier to get through. Here's hoping we can enjoy a fairly calm autumn, full of coziness and cool weather.
Artwork for the week included continuing the jumbo diamond art design of Tsuki my boyfriend got me (it takes up like the whole kitchen table):
This week I created more new content for Creativity Chronicles, so feel free to check out the newest content!
New Creativity Chronicles' content included:
No matter what life throws your way, remember that you matter and are important. You're human, so you'll have your bad days, times of struggle, challenges, and weaknesses. Even so, you have your good days, times of triumph, successes, and strengths. You add value to the world, so don't be so harsh on yourself. There are things only you can do, even if you can't always see them or if you aren't aware of them yet. It's okay to be human. It's okay to not have all the answers. It's okay to be yourself. There are people who will love and adore you for it. So, keep moving forward, step by step, no matter how small. It's okay if you end up falling some steps backwards. It's okay if you end up taking detours. If you keep moving forward, you'll reach your destination. Be gentle and kind with yourself, allow yourself to have your own timing, and have time for rest if you need it. You won't be able to help others or fill their cups if your own metaphorical cup is empty. Take care of yourself; you deserve it. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and a fabulous October!
