Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

How was the end of the 2010s for you? How has the start of the 2020s gone?
End of the 2010s- I got sick on Boxing Day and pretty much only just recovered.
Start of the 2020s- I transferred my germs to my favorite barre instructor that first saturday- it was her first class back teaching after the break and I went... then on Tuesday, I heard her describing how she felt sick and her symptoms sounded very much like mine. Oops?

What have you been up to lately? Any new year (or decade) resolutions going on?
I calculated and I should make it to 250 classes by Jan 31. I hit 100 in November. I've also read it's better to set intentions than resolutions (not sure what the difference is, honestly ) but I intend to finish those 250 by Jan 31.


How were your holidays? Did you travel? See family? Get any nice gifts?
Holidays- I got sick. No travel. Worked a bunch of hours at the retail job and actually enjoyed it. I requested back-room work while I was coughing, first to quarantine myself, and secondly, because I couldn't actually talk without hacking out a lung soooo
I got a pair of Shashi socks from the room parents of kindergarten class I've been TA-ing/observing in, which was really nice. They're pretty expensive for socks, too, so I was very excited over those.

How has your mental health been lately? Any new therapy, medication, or self-care progress?
Lots of Barre has kept me sane. Mom had an accident with the car I drive in mid-December so it was rough not having a car to do as I please, but we managed, and I'm happy to have the car back now.

Anything new with your writing or other hobbies? What have you been doing on WDC lately?
hobbies- I took up knotting again and it gave me a headache trying to do stuff so I stopped.
WDC- absolutely nothing. Lurking around I guess.
