Stop saying "vacation" when I mean "taxing family and grief-related labor"

| Video

This week's Thursday update is actually a Wednesday update because I'm going to be taking tomorrow and Friday off to deal some of my late grandmother's property.

Here's the run down of how I did on my intentions:

Celebrate - Done. I did have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what I was going to do to celebrate exceeding our earning goals this month, and I had to come back to it several times, but I bought myself some presents and I feel really good about it.

Stop saying "vacation" when I mean "taxing family and grief-related labor" - I have stopped saying vacation, and I did reach out to 3 people about it, but that was not very many people. I'm seeing how I use the excuse of other people being "busy" to justify my tendency to isolate and avoid being vulnerable with those who are close to me.

Gratitude - Yes, very much about gratitude this week.
