What's going on?


Hey Besties,

Welcome!

I have been sharing lots of helpful tips in the blogs, but I also want this to be a space where you get a little sneak peek at what's going on in my world too. Why? Well, I feel that sharing things that go on with me, will connect with someone else that will realize you're not alone. Good or bad. 

So, what's going on currently? Well, this weekend, not much of anything! We have been running and gunning for a few weeks and just kind of laid low this weekend. We did a few things and got some things for the house, but not much this week. I'm listening to Spotify and have it on Energetic Happy Mix.

Yep. Guess what. I too have to work on my mindset, mood, generate happiness from a good tune and run with it. Nope. I do not have it all together. I just have honed some skills to help you as well, but let me tell you, it's a daily task. I have one of those brains that will betray me. I will run down a rabbit hole of bull shit if I don't watch it. 

There's times too that my brain is just takes a deep dive and it is just super frustrating! 

For instance. Last weekend I was trying to help my mom, it was her birthday weekend. She loves to gamble, and I do not. So we were going to drop her off and head to do something else. She needs a walker to get around and sometimes gets super tired. So she sat on the walker and I was going to pull her. Well. My flip flop got stuck under her wheel. I was pulling her behind me and the shoe just went right under the wheel. Since I was pulling her behind me, I had no idea it was happening, until it was too late. In the middle of the casino, I am crashing down. The shoe ripped off. Me going down sideways and slamming onto bricks. Why the hell do they have brick on the floor? No idea. So there I am. On the ground. A sweet lady grabs my bag, has her hand out. My husband is saying something. My head is spinning.

I can't understand anything anyone is saying. I just hear noise. I know they're trying to help, but I can't even comprehend anything. All the sudden I yell STOP! Not my finest hour. It felt like it lasted an hour when it was probably over in 10 seconds. Probably less. My brain a fog. I stand up. And I am pissed. Mad that I fell. Mad that it was in the middle of all of these people. Mad that I am at a casino. And I spiral. 

It's literally things so small that send me in a spiral. Anyone else? I have actually met people that say that they don't have things like this happen. Their brains are friendly? You just have this brain the functions to the positive all the time? #jealous  

Luckily my mom had a great time at the casino and won quite a bit of cash. 

So, while my brain told me immediately I was ruining things, I didn't really.

Anyone else? Let me know in the comments! Both ways! If you're one of the lucky people that have friendly brains, I want to know that too! Maybe I can get some tips from you too! 

In you corner and rooting for you~

Your Bestie,

Carri

The ALMOST end to Summer!

 Hey Bestie, Welcome Back!  Yes, antother hiatus taken. Totally unplanned and I vow to get better at showing up here for you!  So what gives this time? So much.  I typically sit down to write to you on the weekends. Well, there has been a lot happening and the weekends ended up being either a blur or a total veg time with literally scrolling aimlessly on socials or just in front the tv. It started with mom. She had a toenail that seemed to be maybe in grown. She tried to cut it out herself. It then got inflammed and then there was a small section that turned black. SO scary.  Well, she's also kind of stubborn. I tried to first get her to go to a podiatrist. She thought that maybe there was a piece still in there that she didn't quite get out. Well, she also has neuropathy and touching her feet is painful. So it went untreated. I then suggested that maybe we just have the people that do her nails try and pull it out. Finally that suggestion seemed a good one. The...

Community and Friendship

  One of the topics I get so many questions on is, friendships in later life.  There's a lot of you that reach out and are not really sure what to do. Some of you have lost friends over time, or had mom friends that you chatted with at drop off and pick up, but maybe it didn't go anywhere. Some of you were just so focused on mom and wife life that the girlfriend life kind of went to the way side.  There's a lot that can happen to us along the way, as life takes on many different shapes. Growth, moving, some of us even just lose ourselves somewhere along the way, and it's a matter of stepping back and getting yourself back. I think I have been every one of these women along my journey.  I thought I'd share a few tips and tricks to help you find your tribe!  1. Start by Revisiting Your Passions Finding friends with shared interests is key. Whether you’re into yoga, knitting, painting, or 80s rock concerts, there’s a community out there! Re-engaging with hobbies is...

September got me feelin' all kinds of ways

Hello, September! Welcoming Fall, Fun, and Feelings 🌻🍁 Can you believe it's already September?  We have a wild and crazy September here at the MacLean house!  For me, it’s not just the start of fall but also the month I turn 50! (Cue the confetti! 🎉) I’m so excited about all the fun things we have planned—pumpkin patches, cozy sweater weather, and warm apple cider. It's that magical time of year when the air gets crisper, and the leaves start to turn those beautiful shades of red and gold. 🍂 We took an adventure to Branson last weekend! That was so much fun! With my 50th upon me later this month, my kiddos surprised me by taking us all to one of our favorite locations! We have not been to Branson as a family for way too long!  We had so much fun!  Back home for now and this next week we will head to California. I’d be lying if I didn’t say this September also feels a little bittersweet. We’re still processing the loss of my father-in-law, and it’s a reminder that...
