Cruel Summer

Last year, I was still reeling from my dad's death. In many ways, I still am, honestly. I don't really remember a lot about last summer outside of just staying in my bed most of the time.

This summer I will remember as a stressful hellpit of a summer. I lost my cat. I've had tons of dentist appointments. Lots of tooth drama. And I've had expensive car repairs. On top of that, there have just been a lot of little stressors that have eaten away at me.

The thing is, I've really tried this summer to make my life better. I'm worked hard on my diet and on my level of activity. I've set goals. I've even reached some.

None of it seems like enough though. Not with all of the outside stress.
