I commented on Futuro's blog yesterday and it got me thinking about how I've changed in the last 3 months. So while this is not a traditional Throwback Thursday, it's a throwback to how things were for me BEFORE the pandemic and I'm wondering if I will be able to easily return to the old Aniki...

PRE-Pandemic vs POST-Pandemic

PRE: I thought nothing of going to the grocery store every week or dropping in to grab something small: a forgotten ingredient, a craving, a treat for DH...

Friday finally! I've hit the ground running every day this week. "Aniki, here's yet another hoop to jump through!"

Eff off to:

Another post got me thinking...

So you had a falling out/knock-down-drag-out with someone years ago. 5, 10, 25, 35 years ago...

Out of the blue, they try to reconnect with you in some way: phone, email, skype, fakebook...

Are you still angry/upset or have you moved past it?

Do you ignore the request to reconnect? Treat it like spam and block? Have a sh!t fit? Fly into a rage and call out your flying monkeys to "Fly, fly, fly!" and request a RO?

Well, it's Monday. Life continues to be crazy.

Yesterday, DH got up at 0430 to go fishing. After he left, I went back to bed for a couple of hours. Got up a little after 7am, poured myself a cuppa, and made the the mistake of sitting down to read the news. And reading. And Reading. And READING...

Before I knew it, it was almost noon. My coffee was ice cold, my stomach was in knots, I had a headache, and the right side of my jaw was a fiery ball of pain. Obviously, my anxiety level was at Defcon 2. Yikes!
