It feels like the whole world is falling down around us right now with COVID-19. I'm supposed to be at home in quarantine. I'm also supposed to be at work keeping the BCHS building up and running with technology. My allegiance to both parts of my life are pulling at me. There are other parts of my life that I feel I should be dedicating some time, effort, energy to but after dealing with my kids and work, I don't feel like there is anything left. My cup is empty.
I have been carving out brief bits of time here and there for myself. I have been cleaning. When you are ADHD you feel some control while you organize, sort, clean, simplify. This has been beneficial for my mental health. The other things that I've been ignoring... that's counter productive. I"m going to have to bite the bullet and deal with some of those. That is a discussion for my counselor. She has no idea what she's going to get on Wednesday at 12:15 during my virtual visit.
I spent a big chunk of time cleaning my basement this weekend. This is my she-cave. Where I sew and create. Minor problem. Now I made it too cool and my children want to hang out there. I'm sure the newness of it all will wear off and they'll go back to ignoring me while I'm down there soon. My dog has learned how to climb the steps and he comes down and visits me now. Thats kind of fun. Hopefully we don't have any mice in the near future and he doesn't feel compelled to hunt. Here are some quilt blocks that I've been working on. I've been posting and updating my instagram feed with them. Follow me at @micrist. These are all from Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage. I think they are adorable. that's 10 minutes. See you tomorrow.
