Prepping ceramics for a group of kids to decorate this week. If all goes well, they’ll be auctioned off at an annual school fundraiser. If not, my nervous system is already jacked up because of US politics, so I guess I’ll have a panic attack and collapse into a heap of tears.

Ways I’ve taken care of myself this week:

- Spent time outside every day
- Exercised
- Reminded myself to breathe
