It’s been a couple weeks, but I promise you, I haven’t forgotten about you!
It’s been eventful and not in the all good things way, nor the “I really don’t want to talk about it” bad way either. It was a nice even mix of losing my mind and making progress in life.
For starters, I really did lose my mind for a moment. I tend to be a functioning manic depressive, much the same way I was a functioning alcoholic. Unfortunately, manic depression isn’t something I can quit easily. Brain chemistry management is a lot different from deciding you won’t drink alcohol anymore. For some it might be far more difficult than making a decision, but luckily for me, it was that simple. It helps that no one else in the house drinks either.
In the good news column, I took the time to flesh out 90% of The Feminine Quirk blog, getting it completely ready for linking to podcasts... after we get equipment... after we record... after we learn the art of editing the files. ☺️
Back in the tough to handle column... there was a situation at my father’s house that is ongoing, messy, and emotionally draining. Right up until I managed to decide that the person causing the upset was no longer going to bother me. The person is gone, and once they pick up the rest of their stuff off the front porch, or it goes in the dumpster if they can’t be bothered to make it a priority, I will be free to fix the problems that festered under the surface and finish my father’s remodeling in the space the person vacated. Fresh start. Always feels so good.
And finally, Bullet Journalling has become therapeutic and a nearly daily thing. I’m rarely forgetting things that need done, I’m remembering to record my son’s school hours for his online school, plus help him study, and we’re learning more recipes. There’s even sections for podcast research notes and cleaning schedules. We’re staying on top of things a little better.
So all in all a growing experience. And in down time that I make sure I get every so often, I’m back to playing Wajas and having quite a bit of fun with it.
