What I'm Reading This Week #19
Hello hello, mah peeps! I hope you had a good week. A quick birthday shout out to my FIL. I'm sure he's whipping up quite a party up there and DJing like he used to back in the day. It's very hard to not think that today was supposed to be our first full day walking Ogunquit Beach in Maine after finding a place we could finally afford there. I'm also failing at knowing we should still be gone for another week. and we're especially bitter given what a complete disaster our attempt at a smaller getaway was when we stayed at the worst place we've ever rented a few days ago. When I say there was nowhere comfortable to sit/sleep, I mean NOWHERE. The Mr is crippled and we spent our anniversary hoping he didn't end up on a telehealth call for strong pain meds. I had borderline migraines daily and by the end was also limping with my SI joint joining the hobble party. It rained torrentially every single day which we're fine with n...
That is so frustrating. But unfortunately the only one who can change anything is the person themselves, no matter how badly we want it. I mean some of this stuff is so preventable that I see happening to people around me and they just chose not to care. It's too hard they say. Yeah but I would rather go through the hard and LIVE instead of being lazy and die. I know I have a lot more left to give this world, I'm not ready to go anywhere yet :) Keep up the good fight momma!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your grandfather. Let's add to this list a sharp knife-like pain in your back and achy legs. My husband ignored these and he has been in the hospital since Tuesday with blood clots in his legs and lungs. Definitely an eye-opener for him!
ReplyDeleteSending prayers for you and your grandfather. Take care of yourself, too.
I don't know how much is sheer stubbornness and how much is because (as we all know) making those changes is damn hard. Even with the not so subtle messages the body sends out. You and yours are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteFood addiction can be an evil thing. I watched my dad die at 56 from complications of diabetes because he didn't take care of himself. Partly, it was money issues (they couldn't always afford his medications), but he definitely, definitely could have done better with the money/resources he did have (even if he had simply watched his portions). But, again, food addictions are evil. My dad is the reason that I became a dietitian. I wish I could say that I was strong and taking excellent care of myself. I wish I could say that I learned from his mistakes and had not followed in his footsteps. Unfortunately, he passed his food addiction on down to me. As much as I HATE being a hypocrite, that's exactly what I am. I'm a dietitian that struggles with overeating. I'm desperately trying to change that.
