A walk just around the block with Addie is about 40 minutes

She's a lumbering beast and she likes to smell everything. I just let them lead me pretty much cause I think that's fair

Walking them together used to be really frustrating, but I look forward to walks now since it's kind of the time I designate to just not worry about ANYTHING

And ultimately I still do, and still have to pull myself back sometimes. But it helps me so much just to have time to allow myself to calm down and just experience stuff happening directly around me instead of the insanity in my head

Same with standing in line. I love that shit now. I know I don't have to do ANYTHING ELSE but stand there
