One breathe at a time

I’ve spent the day catching up on paperwork at the office. Sometimes, I feel very lucky not to be at an agency. Other times, I feel like I’m left to my own devices—sink or swim. Hopefully, that means that I will become a really good swimmer.

The next few weeks will be a whirlwind. I’ve got 5 papers due: a case study write up for Pro-Sem, a presentation for a "live" therapy session and write up for the reflecting team, an epistemology paper, an internship assessment, and a paper on MRI/Strategic family therapy.

Then B.’s parents are coming to visit Easter weekend (which means I need to paint and really clean) and the week after I will have module (by which time I need to asess all of my classmates). I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. One breath at a time. That's what I have to remember. Just take the next best step.

B.’s cousin, who I really like, is flying in tonight and leaving Tuesday, so I don’t think I’ll be able to get much done this weekend. I’m planning on having a lot of fun though and might even go skiing if the weather improves. Nick might come, too depending on the weather. I wonder though, is that too much family?

I got to talk to him today, and it was so good to laugh with him--to have jokes that have a history of a lifetime. Sometimes big brothers are more than a pain in the ass. :) Today, I'm very thankful for mine.
