I got up and walked to the mailbox. My photos arrived, so they were in time for entry into the county fair. I submitted the online registration form. Tomorrow I’ll bring the photos in for check in. I used some old manila folders as backing for the photos so they don’t have to get holes poked in them for hanging. I hope folks enjoy my photos as much as I do.
I did breathing for my Move U movements this morning. I’m feeling the memories coming crashing up throughout the day. Breathing is calming, soothing. Helps me to feel myself in my body and ground me in the present.
My stomach has been rather upset today. I probably should have skipped the coffee, but it’s so yummy. I should go shopping in town tomorrow when I check in the photos at the fair. Get some more breakfast sandwiches and maybe some cream for my coffee. And milk.
I don’t know quite how I got through work today. I made a good dent in my emails from last week. This time I made sure to review them all so I wouldn’t leave anyone hanging. I’ve got tasks this week. Things to do. It’s just hard to focus. Hard not to think about what I was doing this time last year.
I had the last of my spaghetti sauce for dinner. I’m going to have to figure out my meals for the rest of the week.
We had a family zoom tonight. It was good to see my parents and brother, and I even got to see my sister-in-law and nieces briefly. I showed some of the photos from my trip. We agreed to meet on Thursday and Saturday as well as the regular first Sunday of the month. And after we signed off with love, I bawled. All the emotions that I’ve been trying to ignore today came pouring out.
I’m not suppressing exactly, but I can’t work and feel all these things at the same time. And my period is due this weekend, so I’m all off balance.
