I did not fall asleep until around 11 last night and my anxious brain followed by the cat woke me up at 4 AM. I'm quite surprised I am not as tired as I thought I would be...often it hits me later. I don't feel normal today anxiety-wise, but I am doing OK holding together. One thing that is hard is I just strongly dislike Wednesdays. I am starting to dread them. I work 8 to 5, go right to Leadership training class, and jump into youth group sometimes not coming home until close to 9. It's a long day. My class will be over after Christmas and that will help. I'll at least get 1 1/2 hour break before youth group. For now it is what it is.
I did make it to Power. I knew I wouldn't fall back asleep and I told Tracy I would be there anyway. Power hurt! It's amazing how far behind you get after missing just one week. It was tough. I was glad I went and it felt great to do strength training again.
My IT band hurts more this afternoon, but I didn't get a chance to roll it until an hour ago. My ankle feels better than yesterday. I have been still been doing yoga consistently and I think it makes a difference physically and mentally.
The cold rainy weather is very normal for November, but it's not been an easy transition for me. I really crave being outside. I am sure I will get used to it as the winter goes on and frankly we need all this rain--but I tend to struggle when it is like this day after day.
