Overwhelmed Off and On.

Welp, not exactly the way I wanted to spend my Wednesday, but here we are. I had a few different things going on at once, from having to clean my dog’s cage (at no fault of his own) to waiting 42 minutes for my two-minute psych call (unacceptable!), and then I caught myself doomscrolling, plus personal stuff I was worried about, and I was becoming overwhelmed. I wasn’t even sure WHERE I wanted to work, but my older sister suggested the coffee shop.
No, no, she wasn’t trying to get rid of me. I think she just knew getting out for a bit and into my element would help. And it has helped, for the most part.
Right now, I’m working on a writing order while listening to this album of classical music mixed with rain sounds. I needed something to keep me both calm and focused. When I’m finished with this order, I’m heading home for a bit.
Later, my friend, maybe my niece, and I may head to the nearby bar to play some free retro video games before trivia (at the same spot). If my niece doesn’t join us to play video games, she’ll join us for trivia. My friend built and donated the arcade machine, and it has a ton of old-school games on it. I think an evening of video games followed by Trivia Night, and then relaxing at home before bedtime, is just what the doctor ordered.
In the meantime, I need to get this order done while I’m in an okay mindset. I may post once more, but I’m not sure yet. If not, I’ll save it for another day. You all stay safe and take care. :)
