Is That All There Is?

One of the youtubers I watch is a Japanese woman who lives in Canada with her husband and daughter. She posts videos of a week's worth of bento lunches and other meals that she makes. At the start of many of her videos, she'll often write: Let's survive another week. 

There it is: I survived another week.

This week brought a date for my father's memorial service. I won't attend but my brother and I will send flowers. 

On that same day, I have an MRI scheduled.  

An app on my phone informed me that I spent 45 hours in the car in February.  Much of that time was driving without a destination, a long-time habit. But not all of it was that. This past week, I had a two hour round trip to see an oral surgeon for 10 minutes. This is our reality since we moved.

I'm back to not sleeping well. I'm tired all the time. I'm tired of being tired.

Therapy on Thursday. I'm journaling on paper again, in cheap $1 notebooks, a small stack of which I've somehow acquired over the years. My bigger art journal has been pushed aside. Too much pressure. 

My sewing area is a mess. I've been sorting through my clothes there and so they're strewn about. I got rid of some of the worst offenders--worn out things, holey things, too small things-- a whole bags' worth plus a handful of still usable things that were donated. But there is still so much. There is some stuff that I'm working on altering, just to be doing some sewing. Otherwise, my sewing machine would be idle. I haven't been quilting though I have ideas for quilting and lots of projects in progress that I could work on.

I need new eyeglasses. 

That's all for now.
