20:14 | Mood: Okay

I'm feeling better. I'm not great and some days are harder than others, sometimes the anticipatory grief is all-consuming, sometimes it isn't. I began counselling/therapy a couple of weeks ago. Talking to someone once a week about how I've been and how everything is going has been really nice. An allocated time where I can talk about anything I want, without feeling like I'm a burden or being silly.

I've booked next weekend off work so I can visit home and spend some time with my family. My sister and her boyfriend are coming to visit for dinner too. I think visiting home will do me some good.

Life wise (other than starting therapy) everything has been doing okay. I have been knitting a baby cardigan for an online friend's baby-to-be, I've just recently finished a quilt (although haven't posted the finished thing yet) and have been learning to edit videos. I've been watching Love Island and I've been really invested in it .

ho humm. Maybe I should be thankful that my life isn't too interesting right now. Boring is good. I'm content with boring.
