The Daily Hailey

I feel like Tuesdate has made a huge impact on my anxiety. In a good way. By no means am I saying that I’m “all better” but I feel lighter.

We arrived home last night and were greeted by a wild amount of snow. Our driveway was blocked by the general drifts that come from cars driving by. There was no way I was letting Stella (our Mazda, for those that don’t know her name) get stuck, so we commandeered our friends’ driveway for a few minutes so Brady could clear a space for her. We put Dekker to bed pretty quick and then ran a bath and had a snack.

We slept hard, and even got to sleep in, since Brady only really needed to be at work at noon today. Now I’m home, completely relaxed, crocheting my heart out. Dekker has been napping for almost three hours now. He was chatting and fussing a little, but I was on the phone, so I left him to just pout for a few minutes. By the time I was off the phone, he was back to sleep! Can’t complain about that!!! I’ve got another new/scary crochet order completed from start to finish just in the last few hours, which feels amazing! Ok, almost to finish. I need to buy buttons. But then it’ll be officially done. I’ll post a picture once that happens.

I’m feeling quite accomplished so far today 🙂 I will be the first to admit, the accomplishments don’t include dishes, unpacking, or anything that resembles a real priority. But I feel wonderful. Our time away was so amazing, I’m still on a bit of a high from the show and the dinner and the gorgeous new sparkle I’m wearing on my finger. It really was exactly what I needed. Being back home now, I don’t want to lose this feeling! When I decided a while ago to address my anxiety, I decided I needed to keep a bit busier. I’m sure that will eventually turn more into housework and useful things, but for now, it will be crocheting. So coming off of our trip, I’m happy to be back in my messy house, crocheting, relaxed. I feel at peace. I feel restful.

Let’s keep this feeling going!
