Checking in daily to maintain focus #45

This is the number I’ve been waiting for!!

I still remember clearly the 7 months of daily struggles to get 3 consecutive days. One week was huge. Then double digits. Then 90 days ……

One moment at a time :pray::sunglasses:

Day 44. My husband and I were able to have a weekend away without kids. My stepdaughter watched my kids but my daughter is really hard with her “quirks” and my stepdaughter kinda lost it and left Sunday before we got home because it was too much.

These “quirks” were originally diagnosed as Autism when she was 2 but that diagnosis was removed last May when she was 5. Her only current diagnosis is a Speech and Language delay but she still exhibits some Austitic behaviors. Idk. All I know is how stressed out by her I am all the time. And we have a Boston terrier with anxiety issues too. I can’t with both of them. Lol However, it was nice to be with my husband and remember I’m actually not a complete lunatic all of time. It was the most relaxed I have been since I had my daughter. Not being drunk helped a lot too. I think I need to take my daughter back to the doctor. I’m not sure what they can do but I’m losing my mind and have very little patience left. I am tense and anxiety stricken 24/7. I didn’t realize how much so until we went away this weekend.

Thanks for letting me vent. I hope you all have a great day!:sparkles:

Massive congratulations @C_8 So inspiring!

Glad you are feeling a bit better @Tragicfarinelli This heat is horrendous so to cope with covid too must be so hard. Just one more day and then we can dance in the rain (and wear bras again :rofl:)

Sorry it is so tough @Andrea4 I am glad you got a break. My son had severe speech delay and I remember that worry well. I think going back to the Doctor is a good plan. It is so hard when they can’t express themselves.

Good plan @BrianP Tomorrow is another day. Loving your photos of your walks btw.

I am wearing some interesting outfit combinations right now. Strolled into garden earlier before realising I would be giving the neighbours a right eyeful!

Let’s hope so. Our cats are being even more dramatic and pathetic than me right now, flopping around and wailing like Mrs Bennett (Pride and Prejudice)

One of them coming to stay is blind. I’ve found her climbing my TV in the middle of the night before… I don’t think I can add ASBO catitudes to my list of fucked up right now. Give me strength. :joy::joy:

This sounds tough.
Would you be open to letting her know how hard this actually is for you or have you communicated this to her. I avoid the liquor isle while grocery shopping because its hard to walk by at the moment. I’m sure it gets easier but not right now so I can imagine you being the one asked to go get it.
