3 Day ReflectionsteemCreated with Sketch.

It's been a couple of days since my last reflection and it's probably been exactly how my life has felt for the past few months.

✅ Family
✅ Physical Environment


✅ Family

Most of what I do is about family. Friday was another day at the park, Saturday driving them home and then looking after them again today. It's nothing short of exhausting. The occasional thanks doesn't ever cover the feeling that I suspect they want even more from me. I always feel frustrated. Do something that I consider to be nice like baking shortbread with them today and instantly they demand more. I think I've gotten so used to is now that I'm not even sure I feel anything any more!

The thoughts around meal times that I had a few days ago are proving to be successful. I'm not sure how its happened but it feels like things improved overnight and there's very little wandering around at meal times now. Which is simply great.


✅ Physical Environment

I'm back home now and I managed to get out into the garden today to do some weeding. The inside of the house is a mess and will remain so until I get the 3 rooms back that are being renovated... one of which (the bathroom) will hopefully get finished this week. Unfortunately, the weather looks bad and most of the work needs to happen outside so I don't know what's going to happen there. Time will tell. I feel pretty relaxed about it.

I need to phone a couple of people tomorrow to ensure that things keep moving.


Summary

A picture's certainly starting to form now around where my time is being spent. Since Thursday, it's just been family and a bit of physical environment. Maybe I could argue friends since I've been in touch with a couple but since I've not mentioned it, it's obviously an afterthought. I probably need to look at balancing my life out a bit this week.
