The Grotto Gazette: 15/10/23

Another normal week has been and gone. Not a whole lot happened this week so this will probably be a short post.

V has decided she wants to be a bat witch for Halloween. At first she couldn't decided between being a bat or a witch, so I suggested she combine them. She liked that idea, so that's what she went with. She is excited to go trick or treating again.

D is at his parents house until the 27th, when he will be coming back home 🥳. D is joining us in our Halloween celebrations and coming trick or treating with us. We will also be going to watch some fireworks on Bonfire night! Our first small holidays together, a time for us to start our own little traditions with him.

D's birthday is next week. Sadly I can't participate in his birthday plans, but I am hoping we will get to celebrate when he gets back home.

I dealt with ~feelings~ again this week. Mostly due to me missing D a whole lot; and with him being quite busy with gaming, friends, and family we haven't had a chance to hang out. I don't mind all that much, since he will be back home soon. It doesn't make missing him much easier though. I think missing out on his birthday celebrations contributed to some of the ~feelings~. Considering it made me feel a little left out.

My brain tried to be mean to me again when I was experiencing these feelings. Thankfully I managed not to spiral and kept them somewhat under control. I dislike it so much when my anxiety and such play up 😮‍💨.

Earlier this week I also drew a little picture. Inspired by a shape I noticed around the house. It looked a bit like a face so I wanted to try and do something cool. It didn't turn out how I pictured, but what I did create is interesting.

Yesterday V decided she wanted to watch a film with us. We watched Alvin and the Chipmunks. M and myself had already seen the film previously but we still enjoyed watching it with her. We snuggled up under a duvet and had a nice little home cinema experience 😅.

This coming week should be fairly easy and normal. V has a parents evening, so M and I will be attending to see how she's been doing at school. That's the only thing that's set in stone this week 😅.

I think I will leave it there for this Gazette! How has your week treated you?
