Today, I'm Doing All Right
Mar. 23rd, 2020 09:47 pmI'm participating in Small Things Con 2020 from the Harry Potter Alliance. Tonight's video stream has been so reassuring. I have been watching Queer Eye, and keep thinking "Why are you standing so close together?" or "You just went to a grocery store. Why aren't you sanitizing your hands?" and other such things, and several people on the chat have said the same about shows they've watched. It's weird conditioning, but I feel validated.
I spent 2 hours today going to 4 different grocery stores to find the prescriptions and groceries my elderly parents requested. I was successful, and my parents both insisted I didn't need to do that. But it makes me feel helpful and good to be able to do something for them. I can't hug them or get within 6 feet of them, but at least I can find my dad the water flavor he wanted!
Saturday my HP group hosted a virtual viewing of the first Harry Potter movie. It was lovely hanging out with my friends online and enjoying the magic of the movie again. I also finished watching a show that counted toward finishing one of my 101 Things in 1001 Days.
Sunday I spent the whole day deep cleaning with my new routine. I tried something new with my bathtub, and it looks INCREDIBLE. I'm so proud. I also finished another show that counts toward finishing another of my 101 Things in 1001 Days.
Today I worked for a few hours, but our morning all staff meeting was cancelled. So I decided to finally take one of my three comp days off. I'm pretty burned out and exhausted, so I needed to take one of my days off. I put together the LEGO Doctor Who set I bought years ago and reorganized my entire LEGO display cabinet, which is something I've wanted to do for more than a year now. I'm THRILLED with how it turned out. And it was so much fun to just play for a little while. A good break from anxiety. My church had its first online service yesterday, and the rev's sermon was about the importance of play. So I was glad to get to relax and play a lot today. I watched a lot of another show and only have an episode and a half of it left before I can count it for one of my 101 Things in 1001 Days goals. Woot!
I've stepped up my daily workouts a bit, which I feel good about. They're good stress relievers, and they tire me out so that my anxiety doesn't keep me up late at night. Although the last few nights I've had work dreams (last night in my dream, I redesigned the entire website).
I also bought a brand new blanket. It's a plush buffalo plaid blanket I've wanted for a while, and it was on clearance. It finally got out of my holding area and got washed yesterday. SO soft and cozy. No regrets.
