Morning morning friends!
Sleepy, too early, and cold for you too? Yeah I hear ya- just pop on some women’s Olympic ice hockey and stare blankly with watery eyes and frequent yawns.
Did I just watch a 5 minute segment about the fact that it’s cold at the WINTER olympics? Yikes, we’re really trying to fill those time slots in between live events huh?
I’m expecting today to be a bit of a non-day. I’ve got a touch of client work to be done, and typically I wouldnt worry about it but I want to round out any time I can before the weekly clock closes out on sundays.
It’s been a bit of a strange week for me energy wise. First I’ve been fighting pinched nerves and a little chest cold. I’ve been thinking about Dad who fell at work a few weeks ago, I got word that my 89year old grandma had to have a tooth pulled this week (poor thing) and mom’s fiancée had an accident with his snowblower that ended him up in the emergency room.
I try not to let family stuff (especially things I can’t possibly do a thing about) to get me down but been feeling that energy this week- even from 3000 miles away. The winter can be a harsh and unforgiving time of year I always seem to forget that after Christmas we still have a looong cold haul until things warm up.
I’m not sure what the best strategy is here. Maybe being the oldest of the siblings makes me cursed as always the one feeling responsible. Seems younger siblings have no trouble not getting sucked in. Maybe I’m too sensitive- maybe I’m delving too deep into my place in the universe too early in the morning.
Dad wants to have a chat to say hi and “talk about a few things” later today and I can’t help but brace for more bad news... today’s goal is to try my best to stay positive, no spiraling, easy does it. Stay warm and take the day step by step. Maybe it’s just rainy winter vibes getting me down.
I know I know happy happy joy joy post this morning! I’m sorry but also I’m kind of not- if you’ve been here awhile you know I bring the joy and positivity whenever I have it to give but today I’m feeling a bit... flat. And in the interest of being real and honest with you and the blockchain here I am.
Hiya <3
