Friday Free for All- Morning Quiet

      No theme of the day as it's a free for all. DS arrived yesterday late afternoon. We had a good night catching up. It's early and everyone's asleep, even pup. He's feeling a bit under the weather again. A little anxious with people comings and goings. He's not used to DD1 not being here, after enjoying her for much of the summer. Now he'll bond with my son, but then he'll go home. One more of his kids leaving him on Wednesday. He was living his best life though when my son came with for his walk. 

     I'm taking each day as they come. I'm not sure why, but I've had a lot of anxiousness this week. I guess I'm like pup; my brain isn't handling all the changes, even though they're happy things, this week. I suppose I'm letting work get to me too, even though I'm not there. I've had a couple bouts of sleeplessness wondering what might be going wrong. I'm finding activity helps when the anxiousness peaks. I cleaned a drawer out that wasn't on my list Monday but happy to have it done. After my daughter left for work Wednesday, I took pup to the park by the water falls. Walking and hearing both the mill and the water was a good distraction. We were there late enough that the sun was starting to go down. It's so early now.

     I wish we truly had switches to turn on and off parts of the brain. DH has tomorrow off. He'll struggle to turn off that part completely but I hope he can. These days are too precious to let the insignificance of other people's priorities creep in on our well earned time off. For many in the US it's an extra day weekend. It's time for me to shake these cobwebs, strange dreams, and robbing thoughts. Enjoy your Friday and the rest of the weekend.
