This month seems to be lasting for years. And nearly every single day, some new atrocity pops up; some new bit of barbarity. And through it all, we don't have time to breathe, or grieve, because we're all bracing for the next assault. And we still have to do mundane things, like work and cook, and do laundry, because what else are we going to do? So we find small victories and little pieces of joy where we can. I tend to focus on the joy, because it's far, far to easy to me to obsess and damage my mental health. So instead, I do what I can to bring myself and others happiness.
I started journalling daily because my mental health wasn't great, but I also am one of those people who will slap a bandaid on and never tell someone that they're bleeding. Back in those days, it gave me a place to be honest with myself. And the two years that Dad needed the heavy duty care, it was somewhere to vent. To talk about my frustrations and anger and feelings of being stuck. It helped to be able to pour out those feelings somwhere. And now, it's just something that I do. It's still for my mental health, of course. It's from here that I've noticed that my current ADHD med isn't lasting as long as the old one. I'm wondering if we could consider another dose of Ritalin so that it doesn't wear off quite as early. It's getting me through work, but it seems to peter out while I'm trying to cook dinner, which means I'm getting overstimulated when my sister comes home.
It's snowing here. Looks like about 4 inches so far. We'll see what we end up with. According to the meterologists, we're doing snow, then later, sleet and then freezing rain. Totals still TBD. We'll know on Monday when the front pushes out.
I'm not looking forward to attempting to walk the dog today. He is not a fan in general, and this may be up past his belly.
I worked my four hours yesterday, which was fine. Turned out there was nary a crisis to be had, so I just took calls. We were busy, with people calling to check their appointment and if we're open. Tomorrow is going to be cancellation central. I have to see if I'm going to get in my car to go get prescriptions. I'm really low on my inhaler, and they had to order it for Monday. Which is annoying.
I'm trying to decide what I have energy for this morning. I'd really like to bake something this morning, but I don't know what. I got some fresh yeast, so maybe something that requires a rise.
Aside from that, we're just going to take it easy and relax. Not much else we can do while it's actively snowing or sleeting or freezing rain.
After work yesterday, we had game. My players were in a bit battle, which wrapped up rather quickly. So, I sent them back to Arvandor which was under attack by a beast. (AKA Tarrasque). It was a chaotic battle, during which I completely forgot to use any legendary actions. Which was dumb of me, but it was still a good fight.
Once that was done, we decided to just go grab dinner rather than go to the world of pets expo. We went to the Peppermill, which is a very old-fashioned restaurant. The food was pretty good.
Tomorrow, work for me, probably not. for my sister, though. We'll see.
Okay, time for me to think about baking. Everyone have a warm and safe Sunday!
