OK! This morning I woke up and I decided to just snap out of it. I will admit that I am still trying to take it easy. I woke up, made the kids breakfast, checked my email, read to David and took him to the bus. Then I finished a layout I had started last night. Then it was time to exercise.
Once that was done, I went back to work (I’d started work last night just to make sure I wasn’t going to be caught by surprise this morning.) Then it was a little bit of rest with breakfast. And then back to work. Nathaniel napped, giving me some uninterrupted work time.
In the afternoon, Jake showed up early thankfully and got David while I kept working. The push went out and I spent a bit more time with David, reading. He did his other chores. Like writing his journal:
While the little boy played and read books.
Then I spent some time with both kids and hugged them and played. Then it was dinner time. Now the kids are sleeping and I am trying to finish my chores. I got some weird eye migraine earlier in the day so I have a big headache but I am still feeling better. I have some serious catching up to do. I haven’t even made a todo list for over a week. But I feel better. Or at least more comfortable faking it till I fully make it.
My plan is to take it slow. Do the things that really really matter: exercise, work, david reading, hug time, daily diary, gratitudes, and art journaling daily. And squeeze in more journaling. Then I can worry about sketching and the other things I am not doing. For now, I need to rest. And I am ok with that! Feeling happy even! So how about you?
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for a relatively productive day at work.
2. I am grateful for Jake coming home early. Makes it so much smoother not to stress right when the release is happening.
3. I am grateful for my mood improving. Still in pain but it’s all in the mind right? I am choosing to feel better and I am grateful for that.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that i got a comic book from the library {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I got to spend some time with daddy (they’re working on some interesting physics/math stuff)
3. I am grateful that I got to watch mommy play monkey island for a bit
