Self-Care, on a Friday

It's a lot to process, fresh off my Narcan* training yesterday. 

A woman put in a dog crate at a party by her intimate partner, for example. Where it got worse from there. 

A pregnant woman, trafficked, in the back seat of a car.  Every night. 

A senior disabled veteran dumped on a curb outside an out-of-Marin-County homeless shelter by his Marin County daughter. 

So I leave on a Friday, having booked a fleeing mother and her several children into a hotel far, far away, where he can't find them.

On the commute, I Vox with my posse, my Voxer** Mamas (my lifelines), three of whom are therapists, so the rest of us WIN. 

My husband has been assigned a "daily," (new vernacular for us ... which means a story assigned and due the same day), so he will be late. 

Cancel dinner reso. 

Take dog to dog park to exhale, where she is ... herself. #notperfectbutfun 

Ease in, meet other dog owners. 

Migrate to Our Favorite Place, where local creative, interesting people play live music nightly, and I am reminded how deeply. blessed. I. am.
