The @LadiesofHive Community Contest # 190 for this week questions are:
1️⃣ Changes are inevitable but sometimes we find it difficult to adapt to them. Was there a circumstance or a sudden change that impacted your life, routine, or lifestyle? How did you deal with it? Did you have a hard time? Please share the story.

2️⃣ Some women cut their own hair not mainly to save money but because they find fun in doing it. Have you ever done it yourself? How did it turn out? Would you do it again?
The first question is very apt for me because I am going through a similar situation right now.
Since the beginning of May my whole life routine has toppled upside down. I am not doing anything regular that I normally do in my day routines. The first half of the month of May I went for the EBC trek and that was a very big change for me. It was not a normal holiday that I would take. It was a difficult trek and everyday there were new challenges to face. Once the trek was completed and I got back home, immediately I had to start working on my new home work.
I had to set up my full home in a month's time, and the place is big. I did not anticipate that it would get difficult because everything was going on track, but the last activity of painting got messed up and then there was fire fighting for me. Since mid may till now all I have been doing is put all my time and energy on the house work. There is nothing else that I have done in this time. And the whole activity leaves me so tired everyday by end of the day that I have no energy to do anything else.
I have not been able to do my yoga, meditation at all. My meals and routines have gone haywire, there are days when I have only one meal a day at the end of the day. It's like as if I am totally cut off from the external world. For 2 weeks, I did not even step out of the home which is very unusual for me. My wake up and sleep time is all disturbed, and I have no complaints. At the end of the day I am happy that my dream home is happening exactly the way I desired.
Finally on Monday we did the house warming with prayer ceremonies and my whole family coming down. It was a very fulfilling day for me and I was feeling so happy and even proud of myself. Every single moment that I spent doing any activity on the home felt all worth it. It was a very hard time, on some days I was feeling lost and did not know what I should do, but during such times, I would try to stay as calm as possible and take a few moments out to relax and breathe, and then again get back to work.
The last one month has just flown out for me like as if few days have passed living a totally upside down life. All this mess happened because of the painting activity going haywire and with that lot of our plans as well. It was an extremely tough month, on some days I was feeling crazy of myself, because I could myself not understand what I was doing. Anyways all is well that ends well. It's not yet over completely but now I am in a better place then the last few day.
For the second question, cutting my own hair. I have never done that and I do not think I will ever do it. I am very particular with my hair and I know I do not possess the hair cutting skills so I will not even want to take a chance. Though these days I see a lot of self hair cutting tricks on Insta reels and they look fun, they also come out very well, but you know the difference between the reel and real :-). For sure I will not try it on myself :-)
