Mood: anxious
Monday is over! It wasn't a bad Monday to be perfectly honest, but I got super anxious tonight. Like, my chest is tight and keeping an even and steady breath actually takes work at the moment. I have no clue where this anxiety came from. Or what could have triggered it. Work was fine. I felt semi-productive today, and Jeff and I went out for Chinese (my go to comfort food!). So this random super anxiety is both unwelcome and unwarranted.
I'm sitting here attempting to calm down, and it's working a bit. Something that is helping me:
That, dear readers, is the little princess that is Zooey Lilland. All 2.5 pounds of her. She got weighed on the cat scale...that's how little she is. Though, comparing her to this:
...she is HUGE! Okay. Perhaps huge isn't the right word, but oh my goodness is she getting big fast! It's so amazing to watch her grow...and I will continue to say she looks huge to me. I can't wait to see who she turns out to be as a dog. I'm hoping she learns the word "no," and that she starts sleeping through the night...but pretty much everything else can stay! And she can continue to get (a little bit) bigger since my awesome sister (and her Pomeranian princess, Maddie) sent some super cute things for Zooey to grow into!
This little fluff ball is a wonderful reminder of the (almost) year that Jeff and I have spent married. In some ways our marriage is an odd parallel to Zooey's growth as a puppy, we had to learn boundaries, saying and hearing "no" included. Granted I didn't ever have to tell Jeff not to chew my shoes, but you get the idea.
Happy Monday everyone! And may you find something that centers you in times of great stress or anxiety as well!
Mood: happy, lazy
Ah Sunday evenings. I hate Sunday evenings.
I pretty much always have. Since 4th grade. I get all anxious and nervous and start feeling depressed. Ugh. Some weeks are better than others. This is not one of them. And perhaps that's part of the reason that I hate tonight so much. It was a fantastic weekend!
Yesterday was so much fun with Jeff. We didn't do anything crazy, or super extravagant but looking at books and watching Batman then heading out to get comics was the perfect Saturday. Or close to the perfect Saturday anyway. Today has been great too. We didn't leave the house, but I really kind of enjoyed that about today. Some days you just need to totally veg out. And we did. Watched some old school Daria (still hilarious), caught up on Teen Mom and The Soup, and did laundry. We took a little nap together...it was just a great day.
Still, the later in the evening it gets the more anxious I feel. Sunday nights get to a point where I just want to go to bed so that the week can start and I can get closer to Friday. Or Saturday.
Friends, my dear husband has gotten me my anniversary present (ALREADY!). So he's a few weeks early...but I suppose that I can forgive that. This Saturday we get to pick her up. Yes. Her.
That's right! I get to cross one more thing of my list of 101 in 1001! We are adding a Pomeranian to the family. I've already named her in fact. Zooey. On Saturday Jeff and Malcolm and I get to bring her home.
So while Sunday night this week still does suck, and I'm still super anxious....at least I have a pretty epic weekend to look forward to. A weekend spent with the boys, and now my new little girl!
I hope you had a great weekend. And that your week starts off well, and if it doesn't....Tuesday is a new day! And it's that much closer to the next weekend!!!
