November Wrap-Up: Small Chaos, Big Realizations
Hello again!
It’s Sunday, November 30, and… wow. December is already here.
Every year, around this time, I find myself wondering where the hell the year went.
This year has been a reconnection with myself.
I’ve been learning to love myself a little more as I get closer to my 50s. Sometimes it’s hard to accept that I’m not “young” or “pretty” anymore (yes, I know, that’s a mindset thing), but I’m trying to look at myself with more compassion and less judgment.
One of the highlights of the year has been my new job. Every day I’m learning and relearning things. I’m still figuring out how to handle my own challenges, but the hardest part has been separating work from home. Before I got married and had my daughter, I could work 12 hours straight and then crash on Saturdays because my body finally demanded rest.
Now I can’t — and honestly, I don’t want to.
These days, I have to remind myself constantly that work is just work, and that far more important things exist: my family, my home, and my mental health.
Weekly Self Check-In Summary (Nov 24–30, 2025)
This week was a mix of low-energy dips (emotional crash, lack of sleep, post-therapy tiredness) and really clear, high-energy moments, especially when I slept well, made progress at home, and had productive days.
Main influences this week were:
a bit of stress, work overload, hormones, alcohol, and then a big sleep recovery that boosted me at the end.
I also had a short streak of really functional days, plus another mini streak thanks to therapy + deep rest.
Overall vibe: small chaos + good recovery.
What affected my energy the most: alcohol (terrible) and therapy (very positive).
What I want to watch next week: my sleep, my routines, and avoiding things that knock me out for a full day.
A Little Real-Life Update
I’m finishing a work project that’s been dragging for over four months, and tomorrow we finally have a big team day to wrap it up 🙏🏼. It stressed me out a bit this week, but I’m so relieved to be at the finish line.
Everything is good with my daughter. I’m still home alone with her while my husband is away, and one of my wins this week was finally getting the new dining room light installed — the one that was giving me headaches for weeks.
My dining room is officially refreshed: little upgrades here and there, but enough to make me really happy. I’m so proud of how everything is coming together.
With love,
Fabi
