Self Quarantine Day 7: Takin Care of Business
I managed to get an uninterrupted day of work in today and it was glorious. My mother-in-law watched the Twins so I could get some work done. I even got to go up to work and rescue my desk plants before they died of neglect. The girls got to play all day. The Hubs workedContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 7: Takin Care of Business”
Self Quarantine Days 5 & 6: Silver Linings & Quarantine Dates
Since I didn’t have work this weekend I tried to pretend that everything was normal. I failed a bit. It’s hard to pretend that everything is normal when you can’t go anywhere other than your in-laws shop, an empty shelved Walmart, and your back yard.

Self Quarantine Log Day 1
We’re wrapping up Day 1 of Corona Daycare here in the Mom Van. So far we’re virus free and still sane (at least as sane as we’ll ever be).

Anxiety Attacks
Here I am, in the middle of an anxiety attack. It’s not the can’t breathe hyperventilating kind. It’s more subtle.

Making Progress
This week is going by in a flash and stretching out over an eternity in nauseating back and forth fashion. I’ve woken up every day this week thinking that it was Thursday.

Confession Time: I’m Not Okay
I started going to a therapist on Friday. It turns out burning the candle at both ends and constantly trying to convince yourself that everything is fine can be mentally and emotionally taxing. Who would’ve thought? It feels a little weird writing about this. I committed to honesty when I started this blog and tellingContinue reading “Confession Time: I’m Not Okay”
