I am one of those people who manages to seem strong, confident and capable during a crises. Even when I'm scared to death. Now that my husband has turned another corner and is feeling healthier again I'm feeling like I can shed the pretense. I am back to being me.
I realized this morning I might even be a little cranky. Definitely overwhelmed by all of the chores that didn't go away while our focus was diverted.
Time for a reset.
No one wants to be around a cranky grandma.
So I set off to the Humboldt Botanical Garden for some floral therapy.
It worked.
I feel better equipped to be kind to myself because I'm doing the best that I can.
The garden is just starting to feel spring like and my son's memorial dogwood tree is showing buds that promise to bloom a little later.
#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 Thank you, as someone who also appears on top of things in a crisis and also gets cranky, because you have just reminded me that it is OKAY to take time to yourself before tackling the overwhelming backlog of Things.

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 I can’t relate to appearing calm during a crisis 😅 but I can relate to feeling depleted afterward.
We had a meeting today with a new resource that could get us respite care. They said “we feel that respite care is really important because you are the care providers, and if you’re not 100%, then the care you’re giving won’t be 100%.” 😮😭
I’ve never had anyone talk to us this way, and value our (unacknowledged, 24/7) work this way. ❤️
Anyway, I am sure that your work is not going unnoticed — even if you appear calm. 😁

Respite care can be a big help. I hope that works out for you.
Our situation was made more difficult because I scheduled a medical procedure and didn't know my husband had another infection until I got home from the hospital.
I am recovered an things are definitely going better today.
Thank goodness. -
More garden walk photos. There was a brand new rock garden that they are calling a crevice garden.
The circle labyrinth is at the top of the hill.
#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 I hope they have a LOT of help weeding the crevice garden. They are very hard to maintain.

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 Being the one who holds everything together during a crisis is exhausting. I'm so glad you gave yourself the therapy that you needed! Please continue to take care of yourself!

A few more garden photos.
#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 beautiful flowers. I hope your floral therapy rejuvenated you

Beautiful flower
Good on you for practicing self-care!
Glad things have turned the corner 🙂
PS- autocorrect made this sentiment say something quite different 🙄 -

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 more ceanothus, lovely. Also I’m guessing magnolia and rhody. I haven’t been to the Humboldt botanical garden, but we did go to the one in Fort Bragg a few years ago. Quite lovely. I’m glad this recharged your batteries.

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 It's okay to be cranky. No need to apologize or explain. We all understand and love you, no matter what.

@bagigio @kenobit @la_mosca_2 @Donutsaurus @Zambunny dico pure e chiudo che se la risposta ai problemi giganteschi che l'uso capitalistico dell'AI genera è sempre e solo "io non uso una tecnologia che causa licenziamenti o disastri ambientali" oltre ad essere un po' ipocrita (se è così uno dovrebbe essere conseguente e non comprare alcun prodotto industriale) non fa fare alcun passo in avanti alla discussione. serve solo a vantarsi sui social di quanto si sia fichi e intransigenti perchè non si compra da Amazon, non si usa l'AI, ecc ecc. (questo lo dico in generale, do per scontata la buona fede di chi è in questo thread). e si rimane così sempre e solo ad affrontare un problema collettivo ad un livello di scelta individuale, in questo caso di consumo (o boicottaggio) di questo o quel servizio.

@scuola @news @emama
Denuncia che finirà nel nulla cosmico: il fatto non costituisce reato.
Una cosa è certa: è un emerito ignorante in materia scolastica. Il fatto, poi, che l'USR abbia disposto dei controlli è esilarante, un eccesso di zelo per "ossequio" all'ideologia governante. Al più faranno una ramanzina fine a se stessa ai dirigenti scolastici perché non hanno emanato una circolare che *invita* il corpo docente a dedicare un momento di riflessione sul fatto.
