I don't really have a confession today. I'm a little out of sorts given the state of the government. And I don't really wanna talk about it. So I guess my confession is that I'm limiting the amount of dread I take in each day (via new outlets, social media, etc) and trying to allow certain chunks of time just for good things like horses, dogs, and delicious snacks. It's called balance. Also, I realize that it's a luxury to be able to afford these chunks of limited dread time, and that is not lost on me.
So this week, I'll open up confession day to you guys. Anything you need to get off your chest? Let's talk about it in the comments! (For real. Send comments. Distractions are not only welcomed, but needed.)
Doing exactly the same. Trying not to look at the news every day (I mean, I know what's going on but for my mental health, I'm not actively consuming it daily).
ReplyDeleteI consumed way too many eagles victory reels over the last 2 days because it was the joy and humor I needed. Now my social media is flooded with all things Go Birds and horse shopping (not for me) and I can safely go on social media because the dread of the world stifled by my recent viewing.
Other confession? I still haven't opened up the quarter sheet. It's sitting in a box on my breezeway because it was too cold when it arrived and now I just keep forgetting. And in the box I don't have to put it anywhere.
I too, have been manipulating my algorithm. I now watch people open unclaimed mail instead of depressing new stories. Much better for the blood pressure.
DeleteLol, I was wondering if it fit! Guess we'll never know... haha! Joking. I'm sure it will!
Don't get me started on the news. It's maddening and terrifying at the same time for a whole host of reasons. ugh.
ReplyDeleteMy confession is that while I plan to half lease the gray mare I rode last year, I am really kind of wishing I could care lease the retired grand prix jumper I lessoned on last weekend. I would be able to ride a lot less often since it is an hour from home and lessons are more expensive, but he is so cool. He only jumps up to 2'6" now, but doing 2'6 and below on a horse that knows infinitely more than I ever will in a less do it myself situation, sounds pretty darn appealing.
These are the decisions that make adulting so much less fun than I ever anticipated.
DeleteMy confession: I am neglecting my horses. Not in terms of feed or mucking out. But it’s so cold I spend zero time in the barn.
ReplyDeleteI do not blame you at all! This cold has been unrelenting this year. On the rare chance we get above freezing here, it's so windy that it doesn't feel any better.
DeleteSame girl, same
ReplyDeleteSolidarity!
