@xvz: my dogs are currently hiding from the fireworks. They're not happy. I'm not particularly happy that they're spooked like this, but it is the 4th. Hopefully they what go on for very long.

How are you holding up

@wildfire: aw yeah :-(
wish i could give them a reassuring pat! if i were a dog i would be terrified lol

hmm i feel like i don't mind if i can see them, and i can see a little bit of it from where i am
but in general i hate loud noises lol they make me a little anxious
the area i'm in has been setting off the occasional firework for like days/weeks tho so i feel mentally/emotionally prepped
how are you doing?

@xvz: that sounds like a good idea. Do you have any ideas what to do as a distraction? I too have been quite stressed lately. The fireworks are not helping but they are also not aggravating me as much as I expected. Fortunately

@wildfire: hmm watching something usually helps for me. maybe playing a game?
i try to go for something i can immerse myself in and take a break from the world, headphones sometimes helps with that

for general stress, i'll also do a mental checklist if there's anything else that could make me feel better, and try to address those since they are under my control
so like, if i'm hungry i'll eat or snack, tired/nap, thirsty/drink water, need a shower, need to stretch or rest my eyes, changing into something comfier, etc.
if i feel overwhelmed i'll just lie down for a bit as a break and maybe listen to music

@xvz: distractions- much like you do. Knowing that despite how stressed I feel in a given moment that it's temporary and dictated largely by my own mindset, which I can change (sometimes with more effort than others, but still...)

@wildfire: yeah i feel like stress tries to tell us something -
if i can identify what the source is, i can figure out if it's something i can do anything about or not
if i can i will, if i can't i let it go or find a way to cope

i'm sorry you've been feeling stressed lately tho! do you wanna talk about it or anything?

@Wildfire: Trying to buff up the handmade side of my store, while I wait for the custom printed clothing samples to come in.
@xvz: Then it will be taking stock photos, and BAM! Store open. :3

People make fun of Etsy stores, but it's a lot of work.
