If you're feeling like an overfilled balloon that's about to pop, you're not alone!
This week has not been easy here at Chez Sikorski. A bunch of seemingly little things that in the before times would have been nothing, but in the current state of things, have turned into big stresses: families fighting over holiday health protocols; worrying about screwing up my at-home ballot and making sure it gets delivered; trying to figure out the lowest risk place to get a flu shot; making a plan for Christmas gifts with all the shipping fiascos; wondering who else in the family will have a health scare next; dealing with new grocery store shortages; and on and on an on...
Frankly, everything feels precarious. Brittle. I feel like I'm constantly waiting for the next big drama to take over our lives.
So, in an effort to deflate the balloon a little bit, I'm REALLY latching on to every small moment of joy I can get my hands on. Such as:
A beautiful zombie walk in the park.
The most adorable Ratatouille cosplay I've ever seen.
Learning you get a $5 gift card with your free flu shot, as a treat.
Ridiculous boots I need in my life for no reason other than their beauty.
A very simple request in order to prepare for my day.
A :60 second ballet break.
Here are few other things that have helped me get through this week.
I hope they do the same for you, wherever and however you may be.
