I'm going to yoga tonight, which for me is always a big +10. Even when I have to cut nearly everything else out of my schedule, I try to make it to my mat. Plus, it helps me sleep like a baby, so that's another +5.

So far, the week's going well. I don't feel nearly as crazed as I did last week. I took the kitties to the vet last night (have I shared that we have a new kitten?). They're both doing well. I'm in love with the kitten; she is bringing me much joy at the moment. I can't imagine life without pets. They are my calming influence. So, I'm going to take another +5 for them.

DH and I leave on Saturday for a much needed trip vacation. We're spending five nights in Oregon. Two in Cannon Beach and three in Portland (from there we're doing some hikign). I am so excited about seeing the ocean. It's been a long time since I've walked on a beach.

It's been a long year. In some ways, it was one of the best ever. In other ways, it was one of the hardest. I look forward to a chance to reflect on it with DH on our trip.
