live update from seattle snowpocalyse 2019 ❄️ we have a record breaking amount of snow (our house has 1 foot and counting) and now we’re without power. I have eaten 7 mandarin oranges and drank approx. 13 cups of tea. I have a chest cold and now I think I’m getting bored. how do you keep yourself entertained at night with no power?! we aren’t really into board games. I can’t wait until it’s spring. over and out—brl
snow on the beach! ❄️⛄️ #wasnow #seattlesnow #seattlesnowpocalypse2019 #seattlesnowpocalypse #wawx #k5winter #snowday #seattlelife #seattleblogger #frozenplanet
we’re having a snow storm in seattle right now. as I watch the snow fall and collect on the ground, it reminded me of this picture from Christmas 2017 when we got 3″ of snow. our little family walked to the Westcrest Park in West Seattle to play in the snow. it’s a memory I reflect on often, and now that it’s snowing here, I am thinking about how I would love to play in the snow with Max and Gus tomorrow. #seattlesnow #seattlesnowpocalypse #wasnow I’m really missing my sidekick today. After I started working from home two years ago, Max was *always* by my side. I’m sure that nobody wants to hear about this anymore but I know I want to keep talking him. It’s been 13 days and I honestly can’t believe he’s gone? I keep thinking he’s just at the doggy hotel or that he’ll be back soon… but then I look over and his bed isn’t there and he isn’t either. I’ve been having a hard time being home alone.the house is so quiet without him—there’s no snorts or sniffles or farts or gags. I know this sounds kind of dramatic, but I feel like a part of me is gone. I know with time it’ll feel better, at least that’s what everyone keeps telling me. The week before he died was the worst week—he would collapse and seize multiple times a day. I’d hold his little head and rub his belly, telling him it would be okay. though he died peacefully by the ocean, it was still traumatic for me, so it’s no surprise that some of my PTSD symptoms have been flaring. I keep having nightmares replaying those moments. Max had an incredible life, but that doesn’t take away the incredible loss I feel. I’m grieving. and that’s okay. I am allowing myself to grieve. I am giving myself patience. or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. for most people, the loss of a dog is comparable to the loss of a human loved one. I’ve had friends confide to me that they grieved more over the loss of a dog than over the loss of friends or relatives. but dammit, isn’t it so worth it for all of those year of love and cuddles? in the comments, tell me about your furbabies that have died. what breed were they? what were they like? what’s a memory you still remember from a pet that left this side of paradise?
the first thing we do when shit gets hard is stop taking of ourselves. life gets busy and suddenly that “me time” goes out the window because you aren’t a priority when there are calls to make, meetings to get to, life to live. I do it—and I know you do it too. the unfortunate part is that stress starts to creep in and invade your sanity when you neglect *you*. ————— in the grieving of max, I’ve been neglecting myself. I was doing a lot better than I was this time last year, but facing the trauma and the loss of him has shaken me to my core—I can feel symptoms of ptsd creeping back up on me. then I notice old ghosts following me around, invading my spirit with lies, and taking my motivation with it. I’m staring at the abyss right now. it’s dark in there. and I don’t want to get trapped again. ——————— I made this list on the first page of my paper journal to remind myself of a few easy things I could do to reconnect with myself. it’s easy to make—just start writing down the things that bring you joy and bring *you back to you*. I’m curious to know what’s on your “take care of yourself” list. take care. take care. take care. stay strong, brl
