Some of you know, I’ve had a bit of compounded stress these last few months. My grandma (mom’s mom) passed away in November and then we lost my mom in January.
I’ve been trying to keep busy, but I have a really long to-do list that doesn’t seem to get much crossed off of it. I get distracted by side projects that weren’t actually on my list etc. So, my daughter has me making to-done lists (except we say it “ta-done” so I like to spell it that way) rather than to-do lists so that I’m not discouraged by how much I still need to do and can celebrate the things I did accomplish instead.
This was today’s list. It might not seem like much, but driving home 4.5 hours aftet a 12 hour shift…it’s a big deal. Also, assessing the bathroom is a “small” thing but this bathroom has been closed up and not used since we moved in because of carpet 🤮 on the floors. I’m finally getting around to ripping that out and making it usable. For those of you who have stuck around, I promise it is in my plan to start posting again soon. 😬
