AM- awake at 7:45am (PST) after a moderately late night. Mostly, I just restarted my white noise when it stopped so I could catch up on some missing sleep😏. It worked, I’m not headachy, and my eyes don’t burn. I do feel pretty anxious, but I have my plant medicine for that🌱🥳😎
Plus, today is my birthday and I have *felt* it for some time now: my body has changed in many ways, this 61st year….

Noonish-
  • Meet up with bro in law for driving range (golf) game✅
PM-chill out with girls

AM- awake at 6ish (PST) to moderate anxiety, but no rain🥳. I’ll need to make a couple calls today in order to stay here one more day. Husb wants me to see his mom one more time later in the week before heading home, so I need to get my car checked. There are two idiot lights on the dash that I’m not sure about….plus I need an additional prescription med filled down here….

AM- awake at 6:45am (PST), following a later night and fair sleep. Wednesdays are *late start* days for granddaughter’s middle school, so the household sleeps in, after going to bed later than all the other weeknights🥴🙄. My preference would be to keep the same schedule until the weekend, at least, but🤷🏼

AM- awake at 5:30am (PST), with plans to travel 1 hour north to see mother-in-law, today. Anxiety level is at a full roar this morning. Could have used another hour+ of sleep, but, maybe I can grab a nap later today when I get back…..

Noonish/PM- travel an hour north and back to see mother in law, help her “find things,” get groceries, clean a little, reassure her. She was pretty lost today😔

AM- awake at 6:30ish after a poor night of sleep. Canoe woke me up in the wee hours, but did not need to go outside, apparently. Just wanted reassurance. But, I was awake and on edge/alert, cuz he kept fussing around his bed. I was worried about possible barfing😵‍💫By the time I got back to sleep, I think an hour had gone by….
Outside there is frozen fog again, 23 (F)degrees feels like 18🥶🤯
Husb left this morning for the 5 hour drive to his mom’s….

Welp, I survived yesterday (10th death-versary of brother’s suicide) and feel pretty good about it. Like being productive again is possible with the right planning and activity. For years, I have struggled, and for months I have anticipated a 10th year. It feels less intense and actually sort of good to survive past it. Yay, me🥳

AM- woke up a couple times in the night by Canoodles pacing around. Husb says he was up with Canoe for 2 hours while doggo went in and out the front and side doors, and pestered about wanting to go out back. We have limited the out back location to when we can see him (daytime), and for last call with his e-collar on. So, when I let him out back this morning, he vomited right away, and is now not interested in doing much even tho it’s nearly 8:30🫢

AM- awake at 7ish to some clouds, wind, 44 (F)degrees feels like 38. There’s been flooding and land sliding all over the west side of our state with the atmospheric river, this week. Our ground is saturated and soggy with standing water. Will be a relief to have some drier days….
