It has been a week—let me just say that. I don’t know if it was the full moon or just life throwing everything at me at once, but this week has been overwhelming. The chaos at work reached new heights, and I have never been more relieved to see Friday finally arrive. I need a few days to decompress, to step away from the noise, and to just breathe.
Beyond work, my emotions have been all over the place. The frustration hit hard this week, especially when I struggled to hear and understand my students. I try so hard—every single day—to be present for them, to support them, to give them my best. But there are moments when it feels like a lost cause, like I’m fighting an uphill battle with no clear way forward. That feeling is exhausting. It’s disheartening. And honestly, it hurts. I’m holding onto hope that my appointment on Wednesday with my audiologist will bring some much-needed answers and, more importantly, a solution.
Through it all, Bella has been my anchor. Her snuggles, her unwavering love, her presence—they have been my saving grace this week. No matter how hard the day was, coming home to her little face made everything a little lighter, a little softer. Because at the end of the day, love—especially the unconditional kind—has a way of healing even the most exhausted heart.
Here’s to hoping next week is a little kinder.
