When things get too much

Hello. How are you? Did you have a nice weekend? How’s the family? How is work going? Are you drinking enough water? Are you eating well? Are you getting enough exercise? I ask, of course, because I care. I also ask because I didn’t know how to start today’s blog. I think I will just hit you with a few updates and see how that goes. In the headspace I am now, I don’t feel like moaning too much. I know, very off-brand.

Mam is getting back on her feet more and more since her injury nearly a month ago. You love to see it. For me, life is slowly getting back to the way it was. I am still acting as chauffeur for Mam and Dad (when he went out drinking on Saturday night). I am happy to do it. This isn’t a moan. I swear.

Things have been a lot lately. Not just because of Mam’s injury, but other exterior things that have been affecting my interior. One of my meditation apps asks me monthly about any stress I have been having. One of the questions is whether or not my thoughts have been piling up so much that I didn’t think I could overcome them. Truthfully, that has happened quite a bit over the past while. We are all human. I have been having good days and bad days. I hope your days have been less stressful and if they have been, then you’ve been able to overcome them.

On a lighter note, The Hives released a new album on Friday. I think I am going to write a review of it for Friday’s blog. You have that to look forward to. It feels good to share all these thoughts. They seem very minor, and I am holding some things back. However, sometimes it’s best to just be honest: Hi, my name is Fin and I have been struggling mentally lately.

It’s my birthday in exactly one month, by the way. I realized that yesterday. Time flies. Memento Mori. Thank you for reading. That’s enough for one day. Thank you for your time.
