Well, the start of 2025 has been a blur, and not in a good way. My anxiety is at an all-time high and I’m sure I don’t have to explain why.
I thought I’d just pop in today to show that I am still here. I’m turning the big FIVE O today. Do I feel fifty? The good news is NOPE, I don’t, unless I look in the mirror in the morning or unless I try to participate in certain workouts LOL.
Skiing has been great this winter so far and we have been taking advantage of that, especially my husband who goes several times a week. Once a week is enough for me since I still work up there twice a week too and all I want is to go home after I’m done.
I’m not having a party. All I wanted was to go away for my birthday with my family. We are going to the Dominican Republic a little bit later when the kids have time. It is booked! We have never gone to an all-inclusive resort because all we ever did was go home to Germany. It will be a completely new experience for us all and I’m looking forward to that because I have a feeling it will be the last time we ever have this type of vacation together just the 4 of us. Our son is graduating from college and our daughter is graduating from high school and heading to college.
I am the type of person who gets stressed out and anxious about planning a party or get-together, and I’m not even sure why, but it’s definitely not my thing. I would never be a party planner. I’m lucky to have friends meeting me out for happy hour though where I didn’t have to plan anything.
Another new mirror

I’ve been on a new mirror kick and purchased another new mirror for the other side of the living room above the fireplace. The star burst I had there before didn’t refect any light and having another mirror here solves that problem.
I ended up hanging the same starburst over that mirror for now.
As a reminder, the other new mirror on the opposite side of the living room.
The Kitties
And have to share some kitty photos too. Just look at our chunky monkey Frank!
What I am working on…
I made some more artwork a while ago and never got around to sharing that. Hopefully, I’ll have a blog post next week.
Tschüß,
