It's all good these days

Alright, so I've had a bit of a rough several weeks, and because of that, blogging took a distant backseat to everything else going on. But I feel like writing again, and this is the best way to do it.
My kid asked me today if I ever get to take a break. Just like not do anything for anyone. What a weird question. As a 13-year-old girl, it's easy enough for her to imagine a day when she doesn't do anything for anyone. But me? Yeah, no, that is not possible. Even the minimal do-for-others includes feeding everyone and making them comfortable and functioning for the day. I don't even know how to do nothing for anyone. The whole idea is whacky.
Having said that, I have been partaking in a crazy amount of self-care lately. Nothing is more important than me getting my sleep, and taking care of myself, and being a complete human being. It was a bizarre fight until I got here, but it's a pretty comfortable place I'm in right now, and hence, the avatar with her fancy spa robe and slippers, and I think a yummy hot tea sitting on a table nearby. She and I will get there, and blogging again is a big help...
