What I'm Reading This Week #19
Hello hello, mah peeps! I hope you had a good week. A quick birthday shout out to my FIL. I'm sure he's whipping up quite a party up there and DJing like he used to back in the day. It's very hard to not think that today was supposed to be our first full day walking Ogunquit Beach in Maine after finding a place we could finally afford there. I'm also failing at knowing we should still be gone for another week. and we're especially bitter given what a complete disaster our attempt at a smaller getaway was when we stayed at the worst place we've ever rented a few days ago. When I say there was nowhere comfortable to sit/sleep, I mean NOWHERE. The Mr is crippled and we spent our anniversary hoping he didn't end up on a telehealth call for strong pain meds. I had borderline migraines daily and by the end was also limping with my SI joint joining the hobble party. It rained torrentially every single day which we're fine with n...
I tend to overthink all the time. Even when people are talking I sometimes get so into my thinking that I can barely focus and listen. I have been better at it as I've gotten older and can notice myself doing it and ease out of it but it really hindered my ability to focus in school as a kid for sure.
ReplyDeleteI care too much about people and situations where it is not reciprocated as strongly. I find myself sacrificing to help and put my own needs on the back burner. This results in me building up resentments.
ReplyDeleteGah, there's a lot. But one that causes me a lot of angst is my complete lack of organization on the personal front. On the job, I'm aces and super organized. At home? Nada. Case in point, this morning. I needed to find an mailing envelope ship something. Do you think I could find the envelopes that I KNOW I have? No, I could not. Are they with all the other shipping boxes, bags, etc? Nope. Because I know my brain said to put them in a *fail-safe* place that will be easy to access and you'll always have them at the ready. That, it turns out, was a big fat lie. And here's the sad thing... it happens every time! I have some kind of mental block when it comes to finding a proper home for things and then I spend the day berating myself for being so dumb. ARGH!!! Lack of organization causes me no end to issues and yet, I'm still a slug. Pfft.
