I'm fighting #Depression tonight

We had a pretty good day. I didn't make it to the park to go walking, but it's okay because I needed to rest instead. I use Biostrap to track my vitals, and it tracks tons of valuable information. It also lets you know when you've recovered from the previous day's workout, and when you need to rest.

Friday I had a great day, but after a night of terrible sleep Friday night, Saturday wasn't so great.

Frankly, my sleep wasn't the best on Friday either, but overall, I was in a much better place both physically and emotionally. ☺

Anyway, the whole point is that I didn't mind taking the day off from walking.

Lizze wasn't doing so well and wasn't able to keep up with the boys. It certainly wasn't her fault, and I took care of some things around the house instead.

As the day went on, Lizze was in a better place, and I was able to visit my Grandma for a little while. I'm really grateful for that. It was a great visit, and she was in high spirits. It's so good to see her having a good day. ☺ 

As the day came to a close, the boys and I played in our Minecraft Realm together. Gavin refuses to play Minecraft anymore, so he did his own thing.

Elliott and Emmett are still struggling a little bit as a result of trying to cope with what's happening to Grandma. That lead to some fighting. They took it out on each other inside our Minecraft world. Emmett poured lava on Elliott's house, burning it to the ground. Elliott was pissed and responded by blowing Emmett up.

My kids are so well-adjusted. 

We eventually pulled the plug and got them off to bed. They are sleeping, so we're farther ahead than we were yesterday at this time.

I spent some time fixing all the damage they did to our realm during their little spat. Lizze and I watched some ID Channel and are now going to bed. I'm hoping for a good night's sleep because I need to go walking in the morning.

We have yard work and laundry that needs to be done. I have a project for work that needs to be finished, and another one started. I also want to get to the nursing home to spend some time with my Grandma as well.

I'm so overwhelmed by life right now, but I'm trying very hard to maintain my composure, move forward, and not get sucked into a deeper depression.

It's not easy.
