I'm not sure where the week has gone. I had good intentions posting and I look and haven't done it since Tuesday. Mind you, not a lot has happened between then and now. I've been plodding along with the lists and getting things done.
I did something new this week too. I had joined a small group within my online photography group, and we had our first Zoom meeting together. It may not seem like a big deal, but it was (not an exaggeration) absolutely terrifying for me. I don't know how to describe it otherwise. I get so anxious. I got through it though, managed to even talk! Now that I've met them, I know the next time will be a little easier. I'll still be nervous but nowhere near as terrified as this time. It seems really silly when I think about it, but it's just not something I find easy. I'm glad that I did it though.
It got me thinking about introverts too. There's this man at the Asylum meeting I go to who says he's an introvert and he has no problem getting up and talking in front of people, he's in lots of community groups, he leads certain things. He doesn't seem like an introvert. It got me thinking so I looked it up. There are, apparently, different types of introverts. He must be a social one. I am definitely an anxious one lol.
I also had that Asylum Lake meeting this week. I've definitely reached my limit of social interaction for the week. I was actually glad my friend wasn't walking this morning. I needed a bit of alone time in nature.
I did get the boxes of books to the library on Wednesday. Four boxes! I've already filled another one. It's definitely getting a bit easier with the books. I had plans to do a bit more sorting today, but after I got back home, I ended up sitting down and falling asleep for a bit. Not like me, but I haven't been sleeping too well. Perhaps the not sleeping has changed once again to being tired all the time lol. I did message with sister today, had a good catch-up and a bit later daughter and Baby A did a video call. She is so delightful and growing up far too quickly!
Photos for today - there were so many Red-winged Blackbirds around today singing their hearts out. It was lovely to hear. The day started off chilly, but bright. At the end of the day it was snowing again. Sigh
It's tiring when the weather keeps changing, I think.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is. I struggle to stay warm too. I think it's the up and down in temperatures that my body has trouble following!
DeleteMy job(s) sort of forced me to have to push through public speaking but it's exhausting for me. I'm looking forward to better weather and giving my camera another go.
ReplyDeleteI used to hate talking on the phone too. I still do, but when I worked I would have to answer the phone and it helped with that. I hope the weather improves soon - it looks to be fairly nice this week!
DeleteDid your sister tell you what a lovely sunny week we've had here - a real treat.
ReplyDeleteWell done with passing on all those books - keep on clearing!
Yes she did! There were several times when she went for a walk that she was able to sit and read. She said she had walked every day as the weather was nice. I was so jealous!
DeleteThis week has really flown by, hasn't it? You are doing great with the decluttering and joining Zoom meetings, etc.
ReplyDeleteI was quite pleased
DeleteCongratulations, you should award yourself a bravery medal🏅 and an achievers medal as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It seems such a silly thing, but I was really glad I decided to do it. I have another zoom photography meeting coming up soon for the larger group and, although I have been attending the last couple, I haven't spoken up yet!
DeleteI've found that I can be beautifully chatty and social - then I hit an off switch and need allll the quiet. I didn't realise that could make me an introvert so thank you for sharing that - it's a helpful insight.
