This is Sheriff Peanut Butter Brickle. How is your new roommate doing? Working overtime, I hear. Yes. We all have to work overtime at some point.
But things are getting a bit crowded in this Big Blue Treat Wagon RV too.

I don’t read the news. I don’t watch the news. In fact, we haven’t had a television for four years. But getting away from the bad news isn’t even possible for us. It’s everywhere. And it’s hard.
For Girl Person, waking up in the middle of the night and all hours of the morning is a routine now. The Anxiety Monster keeps her up. Wakes her up. Makes things pretty difficult.

If I crawl into bed with Girl Person, well, there isn’t much room left for anyone else. Anxiety Monster? Yes. I knocked you off the bed.
When Girl Person is trying to drink her coffee and worried about the news ahead, I step in between and block that Anxiety Monster. Call me extra strength espresso.
You get the picture. This Anxiety Monster follows you to the store and it pops out of the empty shelves.
This Anxiety Monster peeks around the corner when you’re working from home. Put on some pants, by the way.
But as much as the Anxiety Monster is trying to get you to panic, you are stronger than that. Because we are stronger together. We are all in the same boat. And we are going to push that Anxiety Monster overboard.
This won’t be an easy time. But making a resolve now to include in your routine some positive thoughts will lessen the opportunity for the Anxiety Monster to creep in. Us dogs are here. We’ve always been here. And we are way more cuter than an Anxiety Monster.
There will be times when you think you can’t find joy in your day. You’ll think only sadness and doom are in the air. But what I do when I feel like that is get my little tiger. He makes me feel better. Maybe for you it’s a book to read. A flower to smell. A movie to watch. Take care of you.
If you don’t feed the Anxiety Monster with bad thoughts and news, maybe eventually it will leave. But until then…Today, Anxiety Monster is not your day. You. Are. Arrested.
