The flat is cleaner than ever, and the dog is finally learning basic obedience. I also get some exercise done.
Although this could seem quite normal, it's mostly done in a state of underlying panic and sadness. The nightmares are there every single night. Despite full knowledge that this will all pass eventually, I still find it overwhelming, with a storm of rationality and irrationality blustering in my headspace.
Oh, and on a lighter note, we're attempting various ways of making bread without yeast. And I'm planning to engage my husband in a few youtube tutorials on basic moves from the the "Mazurca" and "Valtzer" dance styles.
