Goal For The Day

One of my goals today was Go to Painting Class.

Get in the car and realize the gas light is on. Not a big deal, because I am not going far. But my anxiety kicks up a little. I drive there, and when I get into the parking lot, it is FILLED with cars. More anxiety about finding a spot, not hitting a person or another car and then once I get in the parking spot will I be able to get out? Anxiety.

I go into the the painting class. Anxiety. Filled with people. Anxiety.People everywhere. Anxiety up. Talking, laughing, loud noises. Anxiety up. I sit down. And sit there...listening to other people, listening to the chatter. It reminds me of a cafeteria at a school. Anxiety up.

I couldn't take it. I made my excuses to the teacher and I ran. Ran home to my shocked husband.

I failed my goal miserably.
 
I finished another goal. I took a shower!:)
The only one I am pushing to tomorrow is playing games with my boys. I still feel so sick. I am hoping tomorrow that I will feel better and enjoy it more.

Nice imagery. :tup: I got the mental image of myself going to school lunch my first day of High School, and barely peeking in the doorway. The noise level was way too high for me. No way was I going to eat lunch in there!

Sorry to hear about your Painting class today, Ayesha. I hope you feel better soon. (Minor set back, right?) Take care! ;)
 
It's almost night here, but I still have a birthday party to attend. Although he's one of my best friends I'd much rather stay home. Of course, I'll go and hope to survive.

Or thinking positively you could say.

I made it to class. It was very crowded and it would have been stressful for me so I CHOSE to go home.

Please try and be kind to yourself. You tried and maybe next time you will stay longer.

(((HUGS)))

Dusted the liviing room and the stairs.
