This week has been one where my anxiety has raised its head again, and it’s because of the change in my work place. I have never been good with change – even the ones that I chose to implement, and the lead up to it is what messes with my brain. I know that I will be absolutely fine with what is coming, but before I get there I have to do the ‘worst case scenario’ process in my brain. I absolutely frustrate myself with it, but it is what it is!

I managed to have quite a lovely week this week in spite of the anxiety. I was able to get some chores done as well as a bunch of fun things. I had a super lovely family dinner for D’s son’s birthday and it was really nice to get to know both of his kids better. I also had a lovely morning in the city with him and we indulged in a fabulous couples massage and a yummy lunch at the ‘fat noodle’ in the casino.

We had a huge day in my garden over the weekend; weeding, pruning, planting and mulching and it was fabulous! No time to spend in my head, and a good hard work out (with plenty of achy complaining the next day!). The ‘manly’ job of using the mulcher went to D who managed to get through a whole pile of palm fronds, like a kid in a candy shop… the yard looks great, and my brain had a break for a minute.

I finished off the weekend with my kids (minus one who was working) coming for family dinner at home – the best bit of that was having the Squish here. It’s so lovely to see him exploring the world and figuring stuff out. He also has a fabulous appetite and makes the cutest happy noises when he eats!

I’ve had the nicest time with people who fill my cup. I’m ready to face a new week and work and see what is next to come my way. I’m sure the anxiety will hang around for a little while yet (who am I kidding, it will probably be around forever!) but I know that I can get through it!
