The Unseen Burdens
Part 3 of 6 - Mental Load and the Neverending Exhaustion
andreaholmewrites.substack.com
In other news, today I published a Substack post!
I'm still talking about abundance and scarcity, and this time I'm looking at mental load.
Shout out to everyone who carries too much, keeps tight control, and is very tired.

When I say my husky is like a toddler, what I mean is that if I count above the number 3, she yells at me because it seems she thinks all other numbers are fake.
Anyway, happy EIGHTH birthday to this sassy sweetie, she really is a very good girl.

They say we are a melting pot. A blend of all different kinds of people.
They say it but expect everyone to act & behave a certain way. To assimilate.
But the thing about soup is that once you add an ingredient it changes the flavor. It ads depth. It can’t go back.
Maybe we need more spices.

Christmas week at work is fun because some people scheduled the week off in advance, some people are suddenly falling ill, and the rest of us are obsessively watching the email traffic to see if we need to just jump in and handle extra tasks.

From the children's sermon today:
Bishop Ben: when do you feel peaceful?
Child: when my little brothers aren't annoying me
Bp Ben: *repeats for the congregation without laughing*
Congregation: gentle laughter and a few amens 😂😂
A blessed and peaceful Peace Sunday to us all!
