Good grief life gets in the way. incoming Thursday Saturday Friday

Thank you for the list idea. I've been having a rough time and keeping myself focused is difficult. But I copied your list making idea and its been working well for a few days.

Apparently this divorce stuff is affecting me in sneaky ways. I thought I was doing ok enough. Ya, stress but not overwhelming. And then I forgot I had two massage appointments yesterday. Totally and completely spaced them. Thankfully my clients know me and were more concerned for my well-being rather than upset with me. But that is not like me at all. That meant it was time for a slight reset. Cleaned up the clutter so my brain would feel less cluttered. Got my planner organized, filled in, and put in a place I will check it every night and morning. I'm also speaking up to people, telling them this is hitting me and asking for help in any and all ways. And I went for a lovely walk after work today; can't waste a beautiful spring day when in New England. We don't get too many of them.

Good thing they are cute! I had a cat that was the master of getting into cabinets for any bread products. Locking the cabinet caused him to constantly paw and fight with the door, and me being woken up in the wee hours by a thump, thump, thump of determination. I miss that goofball. Glad to hear she was only interested in things to play with, not things to eat.

It has been way too long since I last stopped in over here to check in on you. Though not for lack of thinking about you. It sounds like you've been doing a lot of internal awareness, mental, and emotional work. Very impressive

Boo! Someone doesn't want you to have fun. It was so neat. The first thing I noticed very shortly after it started was the temperature seemed to drop. I had been warm enough that I questioned having brought a layer, but I was very happy I had it. I also had no idea what to expect for how light/dim it would be, especially given that much coverage. It was sort of uncomfortable dimmed, and almost a little greenish/yellowish, but not more than 'hey, the sun seems a bit suffused.' Enough that my brain registered this is weird, right? Just another thing to remind me just how powerful the sun is and wear my dang sunscreen, if with that much coverage my eyes still benefited from sunglasses

Eclipse day! I'm roughly in a 95% coverage area. Sounds like a good time to be outside, so I'm planning a good long walk during that time. Bonus, it will be decently warm day too.

Life knocked me down the other night. I think being alone finally allowed all the things to take a swing at me, and every one of them connected. It was a very long night, and a very long next day. The sort of day when you walk in to work and the whole crew takes one look at you and all decide to leave you be until you are ready. I knew it would happen, but I was not prepared for it. It won't be the last either. I'd rather deal with hours of crying alone, instead of what I had before. Divorce is hard. The grief for the death of what I thought I had is pervasive. That's enough journaling for now. Anyway, fighting the urge to eat all the junk is hard. I am forcing myself to cook decent things, like a. big ol' pot of soup, so that it is there and easy to grab. I did have the energy to make so bread to go with the soup. Fingers crossed it's good since it is my first attempt at hand kneading and its on the last rise right now. I solemnly swear I will eat too much bread tonight. A gross nor'easter is moving out as I type this, so the expected running/walking turned into painting and cleaning. Not as much fitness, but a lot of satisfaction and I still got to listen to podcasts. I still have time to maybe do some sort of indoor walking thing, but eh, maybe. I'm working to refocus my energy to be part of the Rebellion again. It feels good to be back here.

congrats on the NSV!
