Wow, it’s been a while since I last blogged! I’ve decided to use this quarantine time to get back into the habit of journaling and blogging. Writing in the first person not only keeps you entertained but also helps me stay engaged. You might feel like you missed out on a lot of updates, but I’ll catch you up as we go. In the meantime, stay safe and remember to wash your hands!
Lately, I’ve noticed my temper has been pretty short, which isn’t something I’m proud of. Normally, I’m a joy to be around (and yes, that’s a bit of sarcasm), so let’s blame the Coronavirus for my moodiness. I’ve been snapping at my husband over trivial things that won’t matter in a couple of days. Honestly, I don’t even remember what I was upset about two days ago. Shockingly, I’ve even been getting annoyed with my adorable dogs when they misbehave.
Our dogs came from the Guatemalan jungle where they had all the freedom in the world. Now, they’re still adjusting to being on leashes and having neighbors. Kodiak barks at everyone but then turns around and wants to hug them, forgetting he’s a fully grown Great Dane and not a lap dog.
As for my husband, sometimes our 300 square foot space feels a bit cramped. He’s on leave right now, so we should be making the most of this time together.
What really helps me is getting out for some fresh air at the beach, taking the dogs for a walk, or going for a bike ride. I come back feeling refreshed and more like myself.
But there are days when I wake up already in a bad mood, maybe because the dog dropped its food bowl or my other website got hacked (not this one, thankfully, but still a major headache). My attention span has been shorter than usual, making it hard to focus, especially if there’s background music or my husband tries to talk to me. I end up walking away, feeling irritated.
It’s not great, and I’m sure everyone’s mood has been affected lately. It’s important to remember to be kind to those around us. We’re all trying to cope as best we can, and at the end of the day, we’re only human.
