Normal Days
Life is slowly returning to normal around here. Well, a new normal around here. After a flurry of high self imposed stress from worrying and my father in law passing away, I'm back to plain old normal days. My gratitude journal is a crazy mix of thankfulness. I'm all over the place with being grateful for good health, having electricity, the working AC and my routine in the mornings of utter silence while I sip my coffee as I plan the day.
My longer commute to work twice a week has been a delight. I listen to a podcast while driving and the time flies by. I am still adjusting to working 5-7 hours a day twice a week. The first three hours are good, but as we approach the lunch time hour - EEP - the terrible two-ness rears it's ugly head. The poor Toddler Girl is feeling all the feels.
I'm trying to be a step ahead, averting a tantrum, being savvy and sly. I take pride that I can do this until there's a tantrum over something I am not anticipating. Anyways…
