arthur_p_dentIt's a day later than usual, but here I am with this week's post. I'll be quick this time, since I spent some time making adjustments to my 2026 goals.
The first week of my goals went ok. Not the best score, but I identified a few things that I felt were going to be too restrictive - hard to be successful for one week, let alone the whole year. I'll go over those changes in my monthly goal review.
Work was fine. I shifted my half day to Thursday to be able to enjoy lunch with my good friend without having to rush, and that was a very good time as usual. I also won at curling, although in this case it was more like I managed to not lose. And, my lingering cough finally improved enough that I could get back in the gym. I now have an exercise plan for the next few months that works with both parts of my goals, workouts and the running training plan.
Unfortunately the week wasn't all good things. I posted a couple of comments recently about interpersonal things, and I've been spiraling down those holes again. Feeling like an outsider, feeling deceived, feeling like... well, just feeling like things aren't ok. And not knowing what to do about it - or if I even can do anything about it - is making it hard to get past it.
Well, for better or worse it's time to head back to work. Enjoy your week - hopefully next time I'll be in better spirits. =]

I'm so sorry that you're spiraling into such awful and alienating feelings *hugs* I can understand how not knowing what can be done, if anything can be done, would make those feelings even heavier. I hope this doesn't sound like a platitude but focusing on the things that you do have control over can help provide a sense of grounding, so it's easier to approach the less certain things. Wishing you the best in raising your spirits ♥
