Good morning and welcome back!
I am so tired this morning and actually wondering what happened to the weekend. And why is it already the end of October? I've often said that time is flying by but this is getting ridiculous, I've quite perplexed at how fast the days are moving. This year practically just started and we are but a few weeks from Thanksgiving. What is going on?
Anyway, I need to go back and publish posts for the days I missed, it's been a busy busy week. That's another thing I'm over at the minute. I am over the busyness of life, of always feeling like I'm being stretched thin, overwhelmed, needing to be places. I'm just a bundle of joy this morning aren't I? hahahah
Let's just get on with the post before I ramble even more.
Have a blessed week my friends.
*** The Weather ***
It's been really nice. Cool mornings and then warm afternoons, well warm as in high 70s or very low 80s which I happen to enjoy. I think we are getting some more rain this week, so yay for that.
Tuesday - Partly cloudy, 79
Wednesday - Mostly sunny, 84
Thursday - PM showers, 81
Friday - Rain, 67
Saturday - Showers, 73
Sunday - Cloudy, 80
*** Right now I am ***
Actually sitting on my bed with my laptop. I am too tired and too stressed and too all over the place. I'm listening to a book video on YouTube, the babies are asleep on the bed next to me and the roosters are crowing out back.
*** Thinking and pondering ***
Life and the upcoming holidays.
*** How I am feeling ***
I have been struggling a lot lately with anxiety and doom and gloom thoughts. I have never dealt with anxiety before but it's been so bad lately, it's driving me up the wall. My doctor says it's related to hormones and upcoming menopause, which I am very close to according to her. I don't know how any one deals with this because it's making life a bit hard for me at the moment. Everything sets me off. The pets not feeling 100% gets me going, a family member going through a hard time gets me going, the crazy world around us sets me off. It's exhausting and I am just over it. If you have any tips please send them my way.
Also, allergies have been at their highest this past week too. Good grief!
