I'm starting to feel a little better physically. The cold germ seems to be letting loose and should move on shortly. For that I'm thankful. I'm a pretty cranky person when I'm sick! The sinuses seem to be recovering and the post nasal drip is drying. The sore throat is no longer an issue now. Just a dry tickle in the throat from time to time that triggers a bout of coughing.
I do feel very unmotivated right now. I think it's mainly due to the weather we've been having and my seemingly low tolerance to the chill in the air. This is generally my favorite time of year but this year I'm not enjoying it like I used to.
I totally forgot about the anniversary of my mother-in-law passing on Sunday. It wasn't until Tim mentioned it last night that I remembered. No wonder he seemed out of sorts on Sunday. This is a rough time of year for him. He's an only child with both parents gone. Though I've told him time and again he has my family, I know it isn't the same. I used to love Thanksgiving and now I dread it because we always spent that holiday with his mom. I'll be glad when the new years rushed in!
My youngest daughter appears to be angry with me. I guess I said something yesterday about her boyfriend and how he doesn't drive them anywhere and it upset her. She had a flat tire yesterday morning. So her boyfriend was forced to drive them to school. No big deal .... or at least it shouldn't be ... as he has a car that is fine. We were out running errands when she got in from school and they didn't even bother to take the tire off so we could find out if it could be plugged or if she needed to buy a new one. Then her boyfriend called one of my friends and asked her husband to come over and help. By then, it was pouring rain but he came. They plugged the tire and got it back on the car. I commented "What was the rush? Why can't your boyfriend drive this week? Is there a problem with his car?" I thought they were honest questions but I guess Mandi didn't appreciate them. She never came out of her bedroom the rest of the evening and this morning it appears neither of them is talking to me. Gawd, I hate this teenage drama crap!
Ah well ... guess I'll start my round of blogs and move on into the day. It's very chilly here this morning and quite gloomy ... matches my mood. I wish I could just crawl back into bed and snuggle with Tim but he had problems last night and needs the rest. Woke up gasping for breath and choking. This happens sometimes, particularly when he's stressing about something. Don't know what he's worried about right now but it usually has to do with money issues. So I'll let him rest and get this day started without him.
Let the day begin!

Feeling better physically

Hey Karon,
I'm glad you're on the upside. I'm curious as to how your daughter internalized your questions. They seem pretty normal to me. Perhaps she thinks that by you asking, you're implying he's inadequate. Dunno. I was so glad when my daughter hit 20...it gets better :).
I hope you had a great day and that Tim feels better. I think you missing the Sunday anniversary of your M-I-L is quite fitting seeing as you've done so much grieving over the past two weeks. You deserve a break today.
Bless ya!
P.S...you know the motivation will come back as soon as those hormones get back in order. :)
Karon...just wanted you to know I still stop by here to see how you are doing. The 100 off, now that is a big deal!!!! Congrats and applause and cheers. Motivation...I thought I was ready a couple weeks ago but obviously not. Did go to Chicago for a long weekend this past weekend...and pics on msn board are enough to scare me and let me know how bad I look. I waddle thru life and hope I waddle into some motivation.
hugs and feel better...barb
Diane...I think she internalized the questions to be negative because her dad doesn't really like this boy. He feels the boy is taking advantage of our daughter and of us. He lives with us (at least until school is out this year and they graduate) but we didn't say he had to pay a set amount of rent. He didn't have a job when he first moved in. Now he does but instead of telling the boy he has to pay XX amount of dollars per month, we've let him pay just whatever. Most of the time it ends up being $20-40 per week which I think is more than reasonable. He only eats breakfast at home. Anyway ... Tim makes comments like this about the boy and when I asked my questions I think she was feeling betrayed by me. She seems to have gotten over it and was fine by the time she got home from school and this morning.
And yes, the motivation is slowly coming back! Yea!
Paul...Thanks! I have been resting more. I am starting to feel a little better. My eating has been okay but could have been better a time or two. It's going to be okay, though. I want to get out of the 400s soon.
Barb...Thanks for letting me know you are still stopping by. I was just thinking about you the day before yesterday but it was too late to call. Wish I'd known you were in Chicago, I would have tried to make it up to say hello in person. You'll get there eventually. You've had a LOT going on the past few months and it isn't over yet, unfortuantely. Just keep on hanging on sweetie! Big hugs!
