I just covered all my bases in that title haha. Anywho, I wore my green today, but otherwise, it’s business as usual. I’m at the coffee shop right now, but I’ll be heading home soon. My anxiety has been sort of creeping up on me, but I’ve been able to manage it so far. I’m really getting sick of it. It’s probably the caffeine, so I’m going to lower my intake until it regulates. If it’s not the caffeine, I’ll figure it out and address it. Sometimes it’s just my anxiety being… anxiety. Otherwise, I do have a few fun things planned for this week, so that’s always a plus. I’m going out with a friend tomorrow, as we weren’t able to get together around the holidays. Yes, we’re still exchanging Christmas cards, and no, I don’t mind. It was her first holiday season without her Mom, so she can have alllll the cards she wants, even now. We’re gonna have lunch at Mission BBQ, and then maybe we’ll hit up a few stores in the area (like Five Below lol). I’ll get some work done once I get home. Wednesday is Trivia Night at the dive bar up the street. Maybe we’ll actually get there in time this week lmao. My niece invited a friend -and former coffee shop barista- to play since they’ll be in town this week, so it’ll be nice to see them again. We both play trivia and shoot the breeze, so it’s fun to just chill and socialize. Thursday or Friday, I’m getting together with my sisters to do some junk journaling, so I need to get some things together before then. I think we’re waiting to see if our older sister has any plans or appointments before settling on a day and time. I’m not sure what I wanna do because I have two junk journals: the one I started a few weeks ago and my NKOTB one (which I haven’t started yet). I’ll decide the night before and pack accordingly. And that’s all I have planned for now. I may wind up going out with my best friend over the weekend, as usual, but we’ll see. But it’ll be nice to balance work and fun this week, and it’ll be even nicer if the weather is kind. Alrighty, one of the websites I need for work is down, so I guess I’m wrapping up early. You all have a great day/night and take care! :) Photo Credit: Pixabay.

@tammys85 No problem, and that is good to hear. I've been better, but still breathing lol. It's okay, I figured you were just probably busy!

I'm definitely trying. I used to be in "write or die" mode, and I don't recommend it. I need to make money, but I also need to live.

@tammys85 We have bills to pay, but we can't pay them if we make ourselves sick.

I hope that anxiety gets under control. I hate having anxiety. I’m so glad you get to see your friend who lost her mom.

Thank you so much. It's been a bit better today. I'm hoping it'll get better with the longer, warmer days, but we'll see. I have meds I can take as needed -it's like Xanax- along with my daily meds, but I don't take the "as needed" meds unless I really feel the need. And thank you so much. She seems to be doing okay, but I also know that grief comes in waves.
