Vacation + Anxiety

We are back from the Cabin/Disney trip. I wish I could say I feel relaxed and recharged.  Quite the opposite. I did have an amazing time over Labor Day weekend. We ate amazing food.  Romantic dinner reservations. Rode rollercoasters and had the pleasure of my Mothers company.  She watched Maverick for us a few times.  Over all, an amazing trip.   But my anxiety got in the way.  Just the little things.   Traffic going to Orlando was horrible.  I hate the highway and truckers speeding close by.  We get to the Cabin and found the area surrounding us was filled with other dog owners. Since Maverick is reactive, I had to really watch for any triggers and walk him where we were alone.  We finally made it back home safely yesterday.   But I feel completely drained. After unpacking, doing laundry and getting into the bed, I was exhausted.  The anxiety feeling, plus I’m an introvert, it takes up all my energy.  We crammed so much into 4 days.  My body and mind are tired.

I am back in the office today and it’s a very gloomy day.  That part I am enjoying.  The thunder and darkness.  I am grateful I didn’t have a lot of work to catch up this morning.

I just need to unwind a little and enjoy the quiet.
