Good day today as a whole, but it was very rough for me at several points. I didn’t sleep well last night, despite having given myself a decent amount of time to sleep. And we had to wait around for various reasons, extending our day by, possibly, a couple hours, which was almost doubling our time spent out. So, today was very difficult for me emotionally and in terms of overstimulation. I hit limits a few times. I gave up and I left my mom behind and I cried. And I felt better after crying, especially.
But also, if someone who has OCD is washing a child’s hands, please do not hand that child pieces of catfish to try while the person is actively washing the child’s hands. Seriously. Seriously(!). Haha. It didn’t help that it was near the end of the day and I was also very hot and ready to sit down and just be done with managing (and carrying) my daughter around public spaces for the day.
Anyway, the first sunflower seeds have sprouted through the surface! When we got home this evening, I discovered Day One’s seeds bursting through the surface of the soil. So, I guess it’ll be about four days for each of them, then. We shall see what tomorrow brings!
Thank you, God. Please, keep my husband and my baby and me safe and well and together. Bless this trip and our family’s future. Thank you for our home. In your name, I pray. Amen.
