Drowning?

I didn’t sleep well last night.

The nice adrenaline rush or whatever it is after you do something hard has passed. Now I’m just processing a million things that were said and looks that were communicated. The shock of confronting someone and not having any real recourse.

I’m buried dealing with gifts and cards for clients though it’s been rewarding to create this card from scratch with a natural design.

I guess that means there’s silver linings in everything that’s happening. Today the lining just feels suffocating.

I did meet with a friend this morning that’s started coming to our group. I’m glad I don’t do tons of that kind of coffee shop and lunching time, but I sure enjoyed this one. She’s concerned about how to manage these relationships that are fracturing after they’ve left their church. I can relate but we maintained many of our closest friendships.

I enjoyed it, but I saw a lot of women just whittle away their lives getting together and chatting. They sort of didn’t work or have anything else going on. That doesn’t sound appealing to me. So I’m always a little careful with my schedule and how much I let that stuff fill it up.

It was a nice break in the day that was full of a doctor’s visit with mom as well as the client and office work.
