My second niece, Eden, turns 2 today; I can barely handle Skye being 5 and at school -- I cannot believe Eden is 2. Luckily Jessie is 6 months, which does not seem as bad: though I know she'll be in school before I know it.
My sister and her family, with some people from her church, are off to the nearby regional park; I'll drop by for a while. My social anxiety seems to have reached a peak, which in a sense is a good thing as I know it should level out or reduce -- and at least knowing what it is gives me some comfort. The flip side is I did not, again, go to my church: I drove on towards the city where I indulged in a breakfast [corn fritters and a cappuccino] before heading off to a Catholic church where I stayed until after the sermon as I started getting nervous and drove back home. Not really looking forward to work tomorrow, but avoidance can make things worse -- so it is probably better to face it head on. If only I did the same for church.
Anyway...that is tomorrow. Now, I'll make a prawn sandwich and pack some fruit, and head off to give Eden her presents: two books and a dress.
