My Week In Review – Emotional Roller Coaster Edition

Once again my week was so hectic, I’m only giving the highlights

Monday, as usual, I cleaned, laundered, changed the sheets, took out the trash, and all that jazz. Then I spent the rest of my day relaxing with my son. We were both exhausted from the day before all we could do was lay on the sofa, order Chinese food, and binge watch the #HBO series BARRY, which, btw, I highly recommend. Seriously.

Tuesday, like always, I had therapy and I had a really rough session. Apparently – as much as I wish I could just GET OVER HIM already, I’m still going through the mourning and grieving stages. When those feelings come up, I have no choice but to deal with them and try to process my way through them. But that can leave me in a very dark place, a very sad place, and a very lonely place. Stupid feelings.

Wednesday, I pulled myself together as best as I could but I felt totally-super-heavy with overwhelming sadness – emotional hangover, from hell. I confirmed several appointments for OCDWITHME clients. And then I paid all of my own bills, with all of my own money. And then I decided I needed to ‘escape’ from reality and I binge-watched an entire season of the new series on #Netflix called SAFE. Which, btw, I also highly recommend.

Thursday, proved to be a much better day. I snapped out of my funk and went back to my first client’s house to pack her kitchen and prep for her big move to North Carolina. She is completely unfiltered and makes me laugh every time she opens her mouth! Working for her isn’t even like a job!

That evening – after my son OFFICIALLY moved back in – a few of his best friends (since grade school) came over. They wanted to check out the new place. I can’t even express how much it meant to see these ‘boys’ whom I’ve known since they were knee-high to a grasshopper, still share such an incredible bond! I had SO MUCH FUN hanging out with these MEN these college grads! Now this condo feels like HOME to my son too.

Friday morning, unfortunately my client had to cancel last minute for personal reasons. Fortunately we immediately rescheduled for next week. And then I used my newly found free time wisely and I submitted three different proposals for three different freelance writing opportunities. I should know whether or not I landed the jobs shortly. Fingers Crossed.

Saturday, I woke up at 4:00AM and spent the day drinking high tea, eating scones, and watching The Royal Wedding. And then I had a nervous breakdown. Which you can read about by clicking HERE.

And once again Sunday turned out to be the best day of my week!

Why?

Because Justin’s College Graduation Party!

Side bar: my son never had a bar-mitzvah, he never had a Sweet 16 or any of that jazz, and he didn’t even get to have a high school graduation party because I was trapped in #fuckingflorida for ten months on a #homestudy. And this graduation party almost didn’t happen either! So, I am beyond grateful for the people in our lives that made this party possible!
