I had a solid nap (my first good sleep in three days! Ugh!) and then got a bunch of stuff done. Now I get to eat.

TBD in 4-6 weeks if it swings the other way but for now I am happy that my heart rate has returned to normal and I am no longer fainting

I ignored texts from clients after 8pm and didn’t respond to them until this morning. I did read them, and got anxious about not responding, but I waited. Big for me. Boundaries. Thanks Tony!

At my gym class today we did [a thing] for time, the new-ish people got half the reps. I counted as a new-ish person, but I came in first for time in the class.

I accidentally hit my foot on something and said OW. My older kid apologized.

I have raised a Canadian.

I ate real food for dinner instead of eating donuts for dinner (like I usually do when it’s donutJS night).

A tech fixed an inconvenient, annoying problem I’ve been having at work, and while she did that, she also fixed another inconvenient problem that I’d nearly forgotten was a problem because I got so used to my workaround!

I’ve been slowly losing the use of my hands, and it’s reached a critical point lately where I’ve had to give up activities that I love. I have been grieving and generally struggling with this and some of the other implications of a degenerative disorder. It’s been hard.

But then I remembered that I have choices, so I googled physiotherapy for hands in my city. I called around and found someone who is familiar with my disorder. I see her next week. It’s expensive, but you know what’s valuable? Using my hands.

Also, Duckling was well so I visited my grandma and he played and showed off how cute he is like a champ. She can’t remember his name half the time now but it was wonderful.

Oh I hope this goes well for you! Great job remembering that you have choices, sometimes that’s damn hard when things get in a bad place.
