February 24, 2026 - Tuesday

Today wasn’t bad. It was a little less busy, but I still felt like I was in a rush all day. Maybe I really need to just clear my calendar for a week. Like, just cancel every single thing for a whole week and give myself time to get caught up. Could I do that?? How bad would it be? Definitely something to think about.

So, today. School all morning until noon, then I got dressed, made lunch, and drove over to Jenny’s. We had a good time catching up and it felt like such a relief to tell her everything that’s been going on over here, church-wise. I start to feel guilty, like I’m hiding things, when really we just haven’t had a conversation in a while! But writing the words in here and in texts, and saying them out loud last night and today, all help me to feel more settled and less scared. I’m grateful for all of the little interactions with my friends, and the feeling that I’m not alone in all of this upheaval.

After Jenny’s was grocery pick up and laundry and putting groceries away and checking school work. Finally, I sat down and played my new video game for an hour, which was wonderful. Then we did pizza and a movie night, and I showered, and read to Ruby for a while, and cleaned up from dinner, and some more laundry, then I worked for 45 minutes, and that was it! One thing to the next alllll dayyyyy longgggg. Tomorrow will be jam-packed with stuff, but I’m going to be praying that I can have a better attitude about it. It’s a good life, filled with quality things and people. It’s not all obligation; it’s choice. And these are choices I’ve made! It’s all going to be ok.
