You may have noticed I've not really been around the last couple months. I apologize, but the end of this year has not been great. I'm still trying to get back into a normal routine, but early last month, my mom unexpectedly died, so I had to make a very short, exhausting trip back to Burbank to deal with her cremation details, make sure my uncle was okay and got home from the hospital alright, and try not to have a nervous breakdown.
I spent a lot of time at the hospital, time sorting through my mom's belongings that she took with her, and gave myself a half day off to go to Universal, because if I was going to be sad, I might as well do it on a roller coaster. My mom and I had talked about going to Universal on our previous trip in October, but we never got to go, so I hope she was with me in spirit.
Once home, I spent much of my free time clearing out her house and also planning for Yule Ball with my nonprofit. 3 of the 5 of us had disastrous year ends. One's grandma got pneumonia and passed away and the other bought a house and got laid off the next day. I'm pretty sure this year has not been great for many of you, so I'm sorry if that's the case. If not, I'm happy for you. Either way, I hope your holidays were relaxing and this new year is a restart and refresh you need.
So, while there were some really good times in 2025, I will not be sad to see it go. I'm going to hang on to those good memories and try to wrap up what I need to as quickly as possible, so I can go fresh into 2026 by the end of January. that means you may not see regularly scheduled posts from me again until February, but I'll do my best now that they holidays are over and I have more time to dedicate to things I need to do outside of travel blogging. Thanks for understanding.
I'll be back with my look ahead of what 2026 might look like. One of those things will be to find a trusted petsitter for when we travel, but we also might be traveling more with our dog when she is able to go. Remember, you can always follow things I'm doing on Instagram, because it takes a lot less effort for me to post a reel or story while I'm out and about.
Have a great end of year celebration, if you're into that sort of thing, and let me know in the comments what you loved most (or least) about 2025 and what you are looking forward to in 2026.
Let's go to some fun places this year!
