Day 416 1356 Calories; Weight 181 (up .4)
A little frosty around the edges here this morning!!
Yesterday I was able to have my temporary crown re-glued onto the root canal tooth. Must remember to chew on other side. Other than that I was busy with phone calls, emails, and paper. Today is much the same but add our weekly staff meeting and an afternoon jaunt to meet a new family to our program (meaning both filling out more paper and creating new paperwork for me, the joys and opportunities just never end!!).
My hubby took his dad to see the cardiologist yesterday afternoon. His dad is quite an interesting 'character' and at 81 it seems is just now realizing that life is finite. FIL tends towards being more focused on himself than others and has never really accepted that his son 'grew up.' With each difficulty FIL faces, when he asks for 'advice' or 'counsel' and he receives a reply his response is 'that's easy for you to say.' After spending nearly 5 hours with his dad, as hubby drove up to FIL's house, his dad said 'by the way ... how are you?' FIL just doesn't get it and hubby came home very WOUND up!! Spent the evening decompressing him.
And still there is much to be grateful for...
1. realizing that 'underneath are the everlasting arms'
2. being able to openly talk about death with my loved ones as a natural part of life and having awareness that life is indeed finite
3. hubby realizing that his dad's behavior is not 'personal', not about my hubby, but just who his dad is
4. 30 days to Mexico!!!
5. plans to get taxes done in the next couple of days
And so much more but that is enough for now. I am hoping to 'work at home' tomorrow and Friday. If I avoid falling into tables I am able to concentrate better at home, fewer interruptions, and working in my jammies is a bonus!! For now ... I need to finish getting my 'act' together so that I can move on down the road to my joyous workplace.
So ... have a wonderful Wednesday if at all possible. Pace yourselves. If you are going through difficult times, remind yourself that at some point something will change. The only thing predictable in this life is indeed, change. Some changes we welcome. Some changes we chaff against. Some changes we run towards. Some changes we try to avoid. Take care of yourselves ... where ever your day may take you ... you are each 'worth it!'
