Today was a good day at Hope. I really do just find these people and their situations so interesting. The two individual sessions I had today are only coming for monthly check-ins. These are the people who aren’t really wanting solutions or suggestions they are mostly just coming to have someone to process with and be supportive without judging. Judging doesn’t mean you do not tell them what you’re seeing or what is sparking thoughts. It means you don’t think less of them for whatever it is.

I’m still a little lost when I think about how we are already almost a week into May. I like my schedule that allows me to work three days and then have four days off to mostly spend how I want. I am wondering if part of the speed of time has to do with having a more regular routine and schedule. The three days I am working do bleed together and there isn’t much else I’m doing or thinking about on those days. I am so glad I did not spend my past 20 years being away like this every single day.

If that previous section doesn’t make sense it’d because I’m too tired to think straight. Since the boys only have practice most of this week we’ve all been home for supper which has been nice. These evening we even hung out in the living room and talked for a while. It was fun. We had 30 minutes of working downstairs in the boys’ room to continue getting things ready for the summer guests to move back. I packed up a bag of boys’ dress pants and sweaters to pass along to my younger sister.
