Today is gonna be a GOOD day!
I say it and it will be done.
*knocking on wood over and over again so I don't jinx myself*
(Yes, I am using my knuckles, not my forehead. At least for now. )

I survived yesterday and all was well. Just some mild mood swings after my interesting start to my day. I hate how my heart rate goes from 74 bpm to three million with one phone call. One day, I swear I'll find a way to get my anxiety under control. It won't be in the next few weeks, but I can try to make it a little better. Maybe. Hopefully.
I also have big dreams of getting my life on track, but I have been wishing that for decades. Lowering my stress levels and anxiety might actually be more easily accomplished!
What did I do yesterday? It was another day that felt like I accomplished nothing. I scrubbed and sanitized all of the bird feeders from my friend. Her DH has been concerned about "his" birds, especially hummingbirds. I told her that I have been having a ton more birds at my feeders, including the hummingbirds. As soon as the dew dries this morning, I'll wrap them up and get them ready to store until spring. I did a little weeding and deadheading of the bee balm. Occasionally, I can get a second bloom from them but can't figure out the rhyme or reason why it works or not. Do you have any ideas?
Maybe I am not getting the timing right?
My mom called me to go over stuff for the trip to PA this weekend but she was mentally *all* over the place. I suggested that she take care of what she needed to do and call me back when she felt more settled. Never heard from her so maybe she never got it together. 100% relatable.
I scrapped another prerelease and I swear the kit was made for me. It's about mushrooms. I have an entire (large) folder dedicated and stuffed full of pictures of mushrooms.
Off to pick up my groceries this morning and then clean for my friend this afternoon. I'd like to get some planning done for upcoming programs in September. I got an email that I am officially registered at the ANJEE Conference as a presenter. (!!!! -- There's that anxiety level kickin' in again!)
ANJEE is the Alliance for NJ Environmental Educators and the Autumn Conference is in September. Our workshop topic is Educating for a Changing Climate/Eco-Anxiety. It's a great topic but I am going to have a heart attack by the time it's over.
I chose my topic for the next HS Pod Field trip and want that plan prepped today or tomorrow. At least having the bulk of it written out. The more I can prep now, the less I'll have to do once Sept hits.
deep breaths....
I got this!
And so do all of you
