It hits in waves

I had a hard day today. I've been really busy for the past few days, and haven't had a lot of chances to process all of the stress that's been building up, regarding Dad's health and Mom's lack of sleep, and Brandy and Chad's crazy health situations. When will things let up? When will things get back to normal?

And so I had a bit of a meltdown this morning. I had all these plans for the things that had to get done today, but then I got overwhelmed by it all and got really avoidant and panicky. And so Chris convinced me to let a few things go for the day, and just take care of myself. I ended up doing a bunch of cleaning and unpacking around the house, and even baked corn muffins. That helped, because it felt like I was getting back to normal, somehow.

It's frustrating, but I guess I still need to allow myself space to heal.

You should definitely take some time off...go buy some new clothes, grab a coffee with a friend, or whatever. It sounds like you need a break...I hope things start to look up!
