Ugh, I know this is a first world problem but I ate entirely too much stuff the last few days. I love the holidays and hanging out with family. I don't really mind cooking the food, but then we eat it, for days. I always make too many desserts, and because we live so close to both mine and my husband's family we have two dinners to go to. I feel gross.
Any way it's been a busy week. I was accepted into the Shebeest Ambassador program, so I was thrilled. But the fun of that didn't last. Like I said in my last post, this isn't a focused blog, so I am going to talk a bit about my family. I am the second oldest of four and my older brother is autistic/aspergers. I and my younger brother are his legal guardians. In the last few months my older brother, Mike has been getting very aggressive and violent. He is also 6'2" so that makes it worse. Well last week I had to make the decision to have him committed to a mental health hospital to have his meds adjusted. I knew he wouldn't be happy, but it was getting bad. We had wanted to wait until after thanksgiving to have him go in but he had another incident and had to be placed early. It really is for the best but it makes me sad.
On a side note, because I am now a representative of Shebeest, I will be trying to promote bicycling in my local area. This will be interesting, and I will be leaning heavily on my friends who know about such things. It has also cause a little bit of anxiety. My goal is to ride BAK this next summer, and it's such a large goal that it's causing a slight panic. Plus the truck my husband wanted to use to tow the camper is being difficult. Which means hello crowded gyms and communal showers....eeewwww. My brain isn't being nice about the athletic part of this challenge, so the 'what if's' are on overdrive.
Going to focus on taking each day at a time. Breath, and everything will be okay.
