...and breathe. Welcome to the flip side. Happy post tofurky day! I was so busy this past week even the girlfriend was getting annoyed with me for not texting her. I hope this reassures you, my FS family that I was not intentionally neglecting you. Today is the first day I've sat on my couch with my cat. She says hi.
My Uncle died last Thursday. I think I'm supposed to be sad here, but I'm not. It just was. Even though we lived in the same town I hadn't really spent any time with him since 1993 at best guess. I was sad for his wife, I think. They were married 4 months short of 70 years (my grandparents were married 72 years, my parents have been married 52, my sisters are all pushing 30, I'm a family treasure). I can't say as he was necessarily good to his family, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY without being disrespectful of the dead, I didn't see anybody crying. It was a nice time to reconnect with family I hadn't seen in decades (because I'm old enough to remember in decades). It made me long for the days when I was a kid and we went to family reunions. It's weird being the middle generation.
My mom told me she didn't like how at Thanksgiving dinner the women went off to one corner to read ads and the men watched football. She said that wasn't Thanksgiving. I asked her what she wanted to do, and she said Thanksgiving. Oh,Ok that clears that up...so I had her and Dad bring over all the pictures they could find. They have boxes and boxes of pictures that aren't marked. "who is this baby?" "I have no idea" "Who is this?" "MOM THAT'S ME!!!YOU KNOW, YOUR DAUGHTER???" "Oh" "who is this?" "MOM THAT'S YOU!!!!" "Oh I don't look like that anymore" "Mom that picture is 40 years old" It was magical.
My body is being so strange. I wake up and I weigh 174. I eat something and I weigh 179. I don't understand what it is doing. I'd like to reach the 160's, but my body has other plans. Hopefully someday soon it lets me know what that plan is. I've never seen such giant fluctuations in a day. I feel my body is being dishonest.
Got my hair trimmed. I didn't lose 5 lbs like last time. Boo! My hairdresser did use some curly hair shtuff on my hair and I actually went from looking like Medusa in an electrical storm to a woolly haired sheep. Trust me it's an improvement. I think.
