I'm back, but I don't know for how long yet.
Social media is absolutely draining. Not just that but the news...and well everything.
I took off a solid week + from social media/news and I felt ... better. Less pinched, less worried, less angry and more. Now I'm allowing myself to check occasionally but not to doom scroll.
Anyway. We'll see how long it takes for me to chuck it all again. Ha!
Here's a list:
1. Making it to Friday. It was a brutal, brutal week at the day job. Next week is shaping up to be the same, but I'm not thinking about that yet. Brutal doesn't necessarily mean bad though. More like constant, busy, chaotic, challenging. Which is fine. I prefer the chaos to boredom so there's that.
2. Going back to our meal delivery service. It's really nice to not have to run to the store constantly, plan meals, hope ingredients last and all that jazz. Our meals were excellent and we're enjoying falling back into our previous routine of preparing them together and having the kitchen almost entirely clean before we eat.
3. Getting words on the page and figuring out some things for the story I'm working on.
4. Also working on getting Into the Fire up on Amazon. I don't have a timeframe yet but it should be within the next few weeks. I don't know what's going to be next.
5. Making plans. Some are long term. Some are shorter. But it feels good to feel like I've got a handle on some things and action behind them.
6. Prepping for our Memorial Day weekend in the Wilds. Figuring out the grandkid stuff is currently underway. We'll get the camper un-winterized and ready this weekend. I'm looking forward to it.
7. Happy the Old Gal is going to make it to her favorite place. She loves going to camp. I was worried we wouldn't be able to get her there but she's doing okay enough that giving her the joy of being there far outweighs the accommodations we have to make to keep her comfortable.
And that's all I have for now.
Behave!
