Good Saturday morning! How has this week been treating you?

My work week was insanely busy and left me completely exhausted. Yesterday, David spent the evening at a friend’s and I stayed home, unable to stay awake past 6pm. I didn’t exercise much this week, feeling so tired. I didn’t even walk much. So the plan is to get back on track with both today. And I now have a 3-day weekend to recuperate and I plan to enjoy it.

One good thing that came from this work week is that in conjunction with World Mental Health Day, our company gave all employees free premium access to the Calm app until January 2026. It fits right into my goal to take a moment each day to meditate and breathe. And I won a 25$ gift card for participating in a 21-Day Habit Challenge last month.

What will you be doing today? I know C K B will be busy supporting her son and friends running a 50k mountain trail, and I wish them success. We will have breakfast with David’s parents this morning. They are obsessed with a breakfast place not too far from where we live. Then we’ll go for a ride to look at fall colours. And for our Saturday movie night, David insisted that we watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. And since I’ve never seen the original movie, we’ll watch that beforehand.

So I stumbled upon the concept of “ominous positivity” this week and that’s where the meme above comes from. It’s being positive in an “off” way. Like saying “You will succeed, it’s inevitable”, “Better days are coming, it’s too late now” or “Excitement and wonder lurk around every corner”. I find the whole thing hilarious and I wanted to share.

So you better have a great day, or else 😉🙂
