We’re leaving in a few minutes because Lizze has another doctor’s appointment this afternoon. It’s just a dentist appointment and so it’s nothing major.

I was able to sneak a nap in this morning and that’s helped to recharge my batteries enough to feel better. Gavin’s been doing well today but he’s also been very quiet. Perhaps he’s been going on some new missions and that’s why he’s been holed up in his bedroom.

There are still piles of things weighing on me today and the stress I feel as a result is significant. I’m hoping to find a way to process some of these things more effectively because continuing to carry them with me is simply no longer an option.

I’m experiencing a large amount of anxiety this afternoon and it’s making me feel nauseated.

Everyone in the house is struggling in one way or another but I have to keep everyone’s head above water, despite the fact I’m barely treading it myself.
