Holiday spiraling

[SeekingAfrica]

So...there are holidays I celebrate and such I don't care for. Easter is one of those I don't care for, plus I have no family around to honor it for them or something. Which is great in theory, free day to catch up on work and everything else that always is left behind.

But it also sets me off. There's no routine. I don't have class or scheduled work. I don't have planned to do list, just a lot of unfinished unscheduled leftover tasks from old lists. All friends are busy celebrating with family. Stores are closed today and I forgot about that last night, and now I have limited things, which is bad because I'm stressed and craving sweet or hot drink, and stores being closed is super stressing me out, not sure why. Being able to just drop by the store or run down and get what I need is comforting.

So I feel alone and scattered and so not in a mood for todo lists. Things being closed and people being unavailable is setting off this feeling in me that I haven't had since the summer my PTSD began. This unsettling feeling of lack of options and inability to handle things and being all alone without any help. I can almost feel that memory of dead-heat hot summer with no rain and the hot pavement and everything that followed...

Anyone doing deliveries?

Or a one store in town still open, hoping to profit off everyone else closed? Any small shops around?

Limited isnt without options. Lesser, but not lacking.
So what do you have on reach you might make things out of, and who could you ask for supplies? (Kitchen ones run out all of the time. Just happens. Dont think it is that much of an intrusion to privacy to ask people for a half of a bottle of milk or a few eggs and the like. A sweet drink in your case. You have a chance of wishing them a happy holidays, and meeting your needs, they get a chance to help out in a way they are able to help out, and go back to their business soon.)
