Late post tonight! I had a long day at work which finished off with a show an Alessia Cara show at Massey Hall.
Life
Photos: Autumn Stroll
I went hiking with the dog somewhere in Milton last weekend. Here are some photos from my DSLR. I’ll be posting a second set tomorrow with photos from my iPhone 7 Plus so you guys can compare!
Dog Therapy
This week I was having a major anxiety attack and couldn’t focus much on life. I decided to go home (to my parent’s) and spend some quality time with Teddy. Cuddling with a dog really helped calm me down.
Now I’m doing some very necessary blogging and work I was behind on!
Teddichu
Last weekend, I purchased this Pikachu costume from Teddy that is a bit too small..
Here are some hilarious photos of him looking miserable in it. He hates clothes.
Anxiety…
I’m having a weird day where everything is trigger an internal panic attack. Right now, I don’t know if sitting at home is better. I can’t find my mail key and probably won’t stop frantically looking if I stay here. I spilled a trail of coffee down the hallway this morning. A bug scared the hell out of me in my apartment.
Tiny things add up and although sometimes I value the alone time to cry, or relax or whatever, going out has it’s values of forgetting the dumb things that I am currently anxious about.
So off I go to a Simpsons Halloween marathon and a concert!
Saturday Shopping
Despite it being super cold, Nash and I kicked ourselves out of the house to do some shopping. We enjoyed some giant coffee. I bought a new iPhone and a Halloween costume for Teddy. Don’t worry, I’ll blog about them both soon.
I hope your Saturday is spent doing what you want too!
Turning on the light
SADS is hitting hard right now as the days are getting shorter. Mornings are too dark and by the time I get home from work the sun is setting.
I take Vitamin D3 and I have started turning on my Happy Light again. I don’t generally use it in the warmer months because the sun shines longer.
Placebo or not it does work for me if I have it on for 30 minutes. I wish I could have it on my desk at work but I’m scared that it would be too weird so it’s just on my desk at home.
What are your tips for curing SADS?
Let’s Go Toronto
The Blue Jays haven’t been doing well this playoff series against Cleveland but I haven’t given up on them yet. There’s a pride in our city of the team, one that didn’t get revitalized until last year.
As Canadians we are always the underdog (in most other sports too). I love seeing people in blue and white and even the city sign light up in the colours. With Drake and sports it’s a fun time to be from Toronto.
Relaxing is different for everyone…
I don’t know about you but I do not find colouring relaxing. I get too worked up in choosing what types of markers or pencil crayons I should use, the patterns of colours, the right pressure. There’s too many things to think about! It’s never just colouring. I still love it but not my idea of relaxing.
What works for you?
My 3 Fave Dudes
I spent Thanksgiving with my 3 fav dudes. We didn’t really do anything but sit around the whole day, which in the body of somebody who is a big ball of anxiety is like really hard to do. I can’t be not doing anything.
I took a lot of naps, pet the dog a bunch, watched Netflix comedy specials, finished Stranger Things (it was so good). Sometimes it’s good to let your brain turn off (or at least try), for a few days.
