Not Rushed

 

Hello Everyone:

A quiet end to a quiet weekend. One of the good things about not having mum around is I don’t feel so rushed to get everything done. I can take my time with things like the laundry and the housework. It gets done but without the manic panic. Fridays have become less rushed because I don’t have mum breathing done my neck to finish everything I need to do in 15 minutes. She actually stopped doing that when the caregivers started coming and kept her occupied.  Speaking of which, one the carers sent a nice sympathy card. I’ll send her a thank you note. Saturday lunch at sis’s house is a regular thing. I’m kind of grateful for it because it gets me out of the house for a few hours instead of spending the day eating junk food. I plan on contributing something to the meal at a certain point, maybe dessert. First I really need to go through the pantry and see what we have and get rid of a few things I know I won’t use. The Brit BF and I had a nice video chat today. There’s a well known athletic apparel company, with an office in Europe, that’s interested in his soccer project. That’s incredibly huge. I hope it works out. We both commiserating over life in a holding pattern thanks to this virus. I can say with complete certainty that life and everything about it feels like it’s on hold but it hasn’t stopped me from taking the steps I need to take to move forward. I had a good conversation with another job coach on Thursday about focusing my search. I do what I need to do to get what I want, one step at a time.
