this week i have been trying to get caught up on the house business. i try to keep on top of the records and filing and organization and recycling and laundry and all that sort of business. but this summer we moved and i'm still trying to comfortably ride this horse that started running much too fast for me a few months ago.
it's hard to admit when you feel overwhelmed or behind...
when you have control issues :)
for me though, it's helpful when i check in on things like this, because if i've gotten behind, it's another indicator of how i'm doing overall. and when i see i got behind, i can think, oh no wonder i've been feeling cranky and overwhelmed.
i realize that horse i'm riding has been dragging me along and my foot has been caught in that stirrup. so i pull myself back up and balance the books and make a big pile of recycling rubbish full of needless mail people send to the house, and then do a mountain of laundry, and put things away that piled up on the counter...
and finally that horse doesn't feel like it's running so much anymore.
we can start to mosey :)
and i can finally breathe and take in the view...

Hi,
No wonder you're feeling out of sorts... you've got so much going on! When you have control issues, that just makes everything feel so much more intense. I'm sorry you've been having a rough time...
I'm glad you got the horse back to a mosey :)
Take care,
CG
hi joan~ thanks! i forgot you have a blog. i meant to follow it before. i signed up to follow you too :) hope your return trip is smooth and that you had a wonderful time this semester! hug :)
hi castor~ thanks for your kind words understanding. it actually hasn't been rough exactly. just chaotic. but not depressing, moreso anxiety and guilt provoking :) things are really good overall, and i have so much i'm grateful for. but yes, moseying is far more pleasant, huh?
take good care you too :)
