Teaching an old dog new tricks.
The dog enjoyed me having some time for him this morning and especially enjoyed playing a few games that involved food.
I, on the other hand, am feeling very stressed about not being stressed. I have a few new tricks to learn too - like taking things a bit slower and not panicking that I won't get everything done. It's a very new situation for me - although I reduced to only one job at the end of September, I covered other people's holidays for the first weeks of October. So, this is Day 1 of one job. Kids and husband are back to school. And it's just me, the dog, the chickens and a pile of dirty clothes and firewood - hardly any deadlines looming and "nothing" to do. Which is all cause for me to panic about just about everything - maybe I'll manage to get my head round it and enjoy it soon.
