There is bliss in silence. Without the noise of social media running rampant through my brain I feel so much more settled. Calmer. This past weekend I turned my hw in early and embarked on the longest self-care session ever. I read. I slept( on accident). I helped Ezra design new train grids. And then we closed off our weekend by watching “The Legend of Frosty the Snowman” and some Micky Mouse Christmas movie and then reading some of our new books.
This is our last week home together and I really want it to be chill because I know he’s a little nervous about kindergarten. Tomorrow he wants to rip apart the train tracks we designed today and build a new one with ramps and that’s okay because this is how he works out his nerves. I’m hoping his extra tracks get here soon so we’ll have some more tracks to work with.
I met with my drs last week and they have a plan. I feel much better knowing there’s a plan. It’s different knowing there’s an issue but no plan to fix it but there’s a plan now and I’m calmer about it. I’m thankful my cousins, friends and family have been mad understanding about my mood lately. Even my student advisor at school has been really awesome. She’s always really supportive and encouraging me to keep giving it my best but let’s me know it’s okay to take a break. It just feels like ever since school started it’s been one thing after another but I have a plan and I can’t allow any of this to hinder my progress.
During this social media mini-blackout I’m going to continue ingesting books. It’s amazing how much free time I have now. I might as well use it on something worthwhile like reading.
