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 canโt relate to appearing calm during a crisis ๐ 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 โwe feel that respite care is really important because you are the care providers, and if youโre not 100%, then the care youโre giving wonโt be 100%.โ ๐ฎ๐ญ
Iโve never had anyone talk to us this way, and value our (unacknowledged, 24/7) work this way. โค๏ธ
Anyway, I am sure that your work is not going unnoticed โ even if you appear calm. ๐

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!

Glad things have turned the corner ๐

#BloomScrolling@NorcalGma2 more ceanothus, lovely. Also Iโm guessing magnolia and rhody. I havenโt been to the Humboldt botanical garden, but we did go to the one in Fort Bragg a few years ago. Quite lovely. Iโm 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.

Gli americani non avrebbero preso parte all'attacco a South Pars. QED. Uno decide, l'altro va al guinzaglio.
