Day 22 - 31, 2024 - Avoiding

 I have been avoiding anything that hasn't been an absolute necessity.

I've gone to all of my appointments. 

I even put together an organizing presentation for a church group. (I love talking about organizing - it is my favorite subject).

I've managed to shower almost every day.

I have spent some much-needed one-on-one time with my husband. We usually play video games together.

But...

I shut down everywhere else. 

I had to tell my original therapist that I was seeing a grief counselor along with seeing them. The words from the therapist were positive... but... the feeling I got was that I messed up. 

As a result, I really don't want to blog or do anything else.

I did manage to read a book. 

But that only happened because I started the book at the eye doctor's. My three children and I had back-to-back appointments so I had a few hours of reading that I got in. The book was engaging enough to read non-stop for the next two days.

Almost felt like a teenager again.

Good times. good times.

I see my grief counselor tomorrow. Hopefully, it will help.

I've been mulling over what I presented to the church group on organizing and have realized that... well... I am not practicing what I preached about and what I know helps me keep life running smoothly. Obviously, grief and depression can mess with you like that, but... I've ignored those tips and tricks for a long time. Like I was trying to be someone I am not. Someone who can naturally get things done without some type of reminder system.

I'm setting my tips back up.

I'll keep you posted.

Enjoy the journey!
