Depression (Black = really bad/Grey = not great/Blue = okay/Yellow = sunny day): Blue.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 5.
Tears: Every time that Captain Tom is on the news - Bless the lovely man.
Overall day: Good start.
As Hormonal Hannah lay in bed fretting last night, Clever Bird remembered something that her doctor said to her a while back, "Sometimes it's easy to go to your anxiety, because it's what you know," - or words to that effect. And that's true, Hannah is so used to feeling consciously anxious, that sometimes she almost doesn't feel herself if she's not worried and stressed. Point made Clever Bird, so each time Hannah starts (inevitably under the current climate), to become anxious, Clever Bird is trying to get another member of the gang to distract her.
Yesterday, as it was a stunningly beautiful day, it was Gloria Gardener's turn to distract Hannah. Creative Clara forgot to do proper before photos (as per currently usual), but she did a part of the way through one (above). Her job - to clean the wonky garden steps of their debris...
... whilst Furry Mama threw a ball for Pepper Pooch at the same time. Just as well Baggy is a master at multi-tasking.
It took a while! But Gloria was happy with her results.
She does have a whole other set of steps to do, but that will be for another warm day! As it was so warm yesterday, and as Baggy and number one furry were rather tired, they didn't get out for an early-morning walk yesterday, so they made up for it this morning.
They set off at 5.15am for a 4 1/2 mile walk.
Hormonal Hannah was delighted that they met not one other person on the entire walk and they were safely back home again before the sun was even fully up. Furry Mama gave the pooch a shower to get the filthy pond water off him, then The Domestic Goddess rustled up Baggy's favourite new healthy breakfast, Blueberry Oat Pancakes.
And yes Baggees, in spite of everything, Baggy is carrying on with her new healthy lifestyle plan. The Domestic Goddess is thoroughly enjoying cooking delicious food, and Baggy has regained her enjoyment of eating!
Creative Clara is also helping Hannah stay calm by blogging; she will also be making some more jars for The Domestic Goddess's nuts and seeds later today. Baggy continues to learn to meditate, and when she can actually get into her bed, is sleeping well...
Finding things to do during this lockdown is definitely keeping the gang on track...
Note to readers: For the avoidance of any doubt, every character in this blog is Baggy! No Baggy was harmed in its writing, although some of them get pretty confused!
