The One Where I Have 6 Sons Now
Companion's Log
Stardate: Oct 12-18, 2020
Okay so. It had been a long week.
I know I say that like every time but this has got to be the longest.
So long and all over the place and also no where.
I've been stressed about things. I have been for quite a while. It makes it hard, on top of everything else, to be motivated to work. I think this has really taken a toll on Sister Wendel. I can tell she was really disappointed that she wasn't transferred this week. I have a recently discovered my tendency to blame myself for things and this time it's true that I am the problem. So more stress there. And it was confusing, and I probably spiraled a bit at times and it was hard. But for some reason on Saturday I felt a lot better and like i can actually do this. So I don't really know what changed and it just kinda makes it confusing to look back but I'm just gonna keep going as I always do. Some other things have happened that relieved more stress so that's good too. And I'm more optimistic about counseling, though I still know it's going to take time.
So we got a new area in our district, so we lost two of our three wards and got a new one. All 4 sets of elders in the district are training so we got a ton of greenies, two of the trainers are still greenies themselves. So since I'm the "oldest" sister in the district I'm their mom, it's a strange feeling but I'm excited. We brought them plates of Nana's cookies to bring Cookie Day to them bc we can't do it for now.
Also did a watercolor class with Nana and her granddaughter, sadly we don't cover her ward anymore but we love her! (Elder Hickok left his name tag at her house so she sent us this:)
Also I'm falling behind on Inktober and it's a little stressful. It's better now but I really lost motivation for it this week and that killed me bc art is supposed to be the thing that makes me happy. But I'm getting back into it now
