Tuesday Trudging

Hello, possible reader!

I’m not going to lie—I have no motivation or desire to do much of anything right now. But my daughter is taken care of, so at least there’s that.

Yesterday, I didn’t work out, and I kind of feel like a failure because of it. I did manage to do some dishes today and cleaned part of the kitchen, so it’s not a total loss.

I think I’m dehydrated.

I also made two separate lunches for Addi. The first time, she seemed really tired, so I put her down for a nap. When she woke up, I made her grilled cheese instead. She still didn’t want to eat. Teething sucks.

I have so much to do that I can’t get myself to do anything.

Addi has sores on her bottom from sitting too long on the potty seat, so we’re taking a break until they heal. When we start again, we’ll do shorter and fewer stints on the potty. She doesn’t need to be potty trained by two. That was too ambitious, and I don’t think I was consistent enough anyway. Some days I skipped when life felt too overwhelming or when my mental health took a dip—like it is now.

But that’s okay. Some days are like this, and it’s just part of the process. Tomorrow is a new day, and I’ll try again. For now, I’m going to focus on resting, hydrating, and taking it one step at a time.

Take care, and I hope you’re giving yourself grace, too.
