Easter/my birthday was aggravating af. I’m not sure if it was my negative attitude going in that ended up being a self fulfilling prophecy but overall it was a typical family mess and hopefully the last one because I think my grandmother is totally over it. I think she was hoping for better but it was the same as always with disrespect, displays of passive aggression, and an undercurrent of well-ingrained anger between individuals in a spiderweb of connections.

But it’s ok, I’m on spring break now so I’m able to get a lot of things done around the house. Going to switch my clothes from winter to summer and clean up the dressing room that is still not really unpacked.

I got a home goods gift card so I’m headed there today, along with Trader Joe’s. I do like to check out their seasonal offerings every few months. I do have to get home by 2:45 so I can take my cat to the vet. Need to renew his prescription for his special food, get his shots, and get his runny eye checked out. My other cat is going next week for her shots and I’m going to mention her coughing and wheezing as well. She got extremely sick with pneumonia as a kitten and has had an occasional cough with wheezing ever since, but it seems to be getting more frequent.

I seem to be bypassing my usual hormonal depression this month so that’s good, usually I’m laid out for three days in deep despair.

I think I’ve calmed down from the slight elevation of mood and energy kicked off in early March. I’ve adjusted to the warmer temperatures and lengthened sunlight. I did buy new clothes but I have lost 30lbs since last year so it was a necessity. I won’t need to buy any more until fall, when I’ve hopefully lost more weight and will need to replace some of my work wardrobe. I’ve finally gotten past the stall I was in for the whole of winter.
