What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
I'm so sorry you had such a painful night, wishing your mom was there. That breaks my heart and I totally, completely understand it. The loss was smothering you right then and I know those gut-wrenching sobs. I'm so very, very sorry. I can imagine how much worse your head had to feel because it's like an anvil to the side of your head from the pressure. I hope you were able to go into a deep slumber somehow, but I know those are pipe dreams more often than not. I haven't slept in several weeks because I was taking care of our sweet pup during the night, and last night it was so still and quiet in the house I was wide awake. I didn't know what to do with myself with not being on high alert. I hate it.
ReplyDeleteNo weekend plans other than taking care of some hard stuff, working a bit tomorrow, and probably doing mindless, detached grief cleaning in that weird robotic way. I hope you guys can get through the stairs project relatively unscathed and you don't have the same aggravations as this whole week has been. DIY fairy indeed...wouldn't that be great! Come take all my junk, paint the walls, put in new flooring and countertops, and we're good to go. That's not asking too much (oh, and the big light fixtures I've had sitting in the kitchen for two years...that's be swell, too). =o)
Yeah it's been a week and I'm really sorry to hear about our friend going through that pain of losing a pet family member. Prayers go out to them for sure! Try to have a good weekend everyone.
ReplyDeleteHome renovation is a nightmare. Been through it recently. Finally completed the work on the upstairs. Some interesting reading. As one who had no children I am often asked why not? Is something wrong with you? Unreal in this day and age! Maybe if those under 49 want our homes some kindness would help. After all it isn't like we have anyone to leave it to.😃 . Hope your weekend improves.
