I have not had the best of weeks. Was not feeling full of rage as I did last week, but was not feeling myself or in a stable state this week because 1) I had a mild but nevertheless annoying bout of stomach flu, and 2) I didn't talk to my husband all week because he was away from computers. I had no motivation to do anything at work most of the week (my cave of an office not helping), but today was a little better. After I woke up that is. I slept through my alarm and awoke to a bad dream that made me feel very unsettled as I rushed to get to work not too far after my normally-late-getting-to-work time...yeah I just gave up trying to be on time because even the days that I am running on schedule there will be a traffic accident, or some other obstacle that still makes me late. I find that I have much less anxiety in the morning when I am not trying to be on time.
Anyways, my Friday turned out to be an ok day and then my hubby came back and was online. It was very late at night for him and he had had a bad day and just really wanted to talk to me (I love that). I was not expecting to hear from him for another day or two, so it was a pleasant surprise even though he was telling me about his rough day. It's the middle of October now which means that we are halfway there to January when he comes home for R&R!
I went to see a movie with my brother tonight, Life as We Know It. I really enjoyed it and it's good thing I wasn't watching it alone or I would have been bawling on numerous occasions. We both thought it would be more of a funny movie, but it turned out to be a great drama/love story too. Recommended.
Well, my mosaic vase is in the oven right now because the glue had still not dried clear after a week. Hopefully I will get a chance to grout it this weekend. I'm excited to get my first project done!
It was a rough week for me too. I suspect that was partly because it is dark going to work & dark so early each evening. Your not having some day light in your office must magnify that! Be sure that you're doing your vitamins especially the B's which helps for stress & some D for the lack of sunshine.
ReplyDeleteI went to see Secretariat last weekend & very much enjoyed it. Of course, when it was actually happening I was a horse crazy 12 year old girl. Oh boy, do I feel old!
I am now FB friends with Clara. A very nice lady. Her son gets the early R&R.
I was thinking it might be fun to sign up for a Christmas cookie making class thru the comm ed with you & your mom either up there or down here. I've done that once & enjoyed it very much. Especially taking home dozens of cookies for sharing. Love you, Cindi
