Today’s entry was a whole journey, starting with a rushed Miracle Morning in the car on the way to get fresh cuts and color. ✂️✨ From there? Straight into errands, exhaustion, and a family misunderstanding that somehow evolved into a full-on silent treatment situation. Love that for us. 😭
My aunt is currently not speaking to me because I mentioned feeling unsupported with my mom’s care — not blaming, just… explaining. Texting is a dangerous sport. Meanwhile, my brother and I synced up twice today for updates, detective work, and emotional damage control.
Protein goals? Hit them. Mostly shakes, but it still counts.
Errands? Costco, Sam’s, pool not closed (again).
Purchases? Two winter coats — one for Mom, one for me.
Temperature? I was FREEZING all day like I suddenly became a Victorian orphan, so I used Brandon as my personal radiator.
Also: two naps. Two.
A win, honestly.
Wrapped the night with weekly planning, job-hunting anxiety, PMP study guilt, and a realistic reminder that adulthood is basically just “choosing which problem to handle first.”
See you tomorrow for the next installment of the Disaster Diaries. 💛
