Today is technically the end of the school year for Squishy. The start of her summer break, and while things are still closed, and it won't be the extra fun adventure most kids want, but it means no longer worrying about schoolwork for a bit for us both.
And I'm hoping, that with her leaving in a few days, I'll be able to reset my own brain a little from how I've been feeling. That break from how things have been, and the stress she's been creating will hopefully be helpful.
For the last few days, I've been making myself do things that I know are good for me that I've let fall to the wayside. Physical and mental acts of self care that I know I need, but just made excuses that I didn't have the spoons for, because I honestly didn't think I did with everything else going on.
I'm forcing myself to do even simple physical self care again, and it's helping a ton. Focusing on the things that are healthy for me, and while it may not be the easiest thing, and it may be a project sometimes to find the time for it, I'm noticing an effect already.
I need to take back my own mind, and myself for that matter, because I've let it fall too much, and that's not something I can let continue.
