Thursday, January 8, 2009 - New Year Re-think
Posted By That Girl
Just a few thoughts before I go to bed....This week because of beginning a New Year I have been rethinking some things. I have started exercising again, and hope to do it quite regularly. I manage to get 15 min. on the treadmill before work, and finish the other half plus some other routines after work. I want to keep the food we eat more simple. Just natural things like meat, veggies cooked i n broth, fruit, milk, yogurt, cheese, whole grains. Cut down on processed things, but not completly eliminate them, Hubby would not survive without bacon and sausage.
I also have cut WAY back on the t.v. I come home from work and watch the news (we just canceled our newspaper delivery) and then the t.v. goes off. I can`t tell you what a pleasant relaxing evening you can have with just some nice music or a relaxation cd playing. And I get so much more done, too. The only exception is when the phone rings all evening, like tonight!
We are trying to cut expenses, too. One automatic way is to have your dryer break, like ours did. I haven`t got a bill yet to compare the savings with, but I know we are saving by hanging them outside or in the basement. We have heat and a dehumidifier, so they dry really nice.
I am just going over everything we do to see where we can improve, save or cut back. If you have any ideas or suggestion, I`d love to hear them. Let`s make this the Year of Improvement!

You know I will never understand somethings.. I dont think we are really suposed to.. Maybe that is what the problem is I am trying to understand things i am not to... At least not here on this earth...
As I wrote about yesturday i got my finial divorce papers yesturday. It was not a surprise or even a shock to get them. I knew they were at the lawyors office and i knew things were final.. I knew it was just a matter of her getting them in the mail to me. Yet still when i got them it threw me.. Do i want the life we had back... The anger, the hitting, the screaming, name calling etc.. NO.... Do i want the coldness that was going on in my home for years.. NO... Yet when i got those papers all the emotions that i thought i had dealt with came out. All those feelings of failure. I am sure some of the emotions were due to being sick but still when you hold those divorce papers in your hand and everything is all so nicely wrote out in lawyors terms.. It is so cold... Divorce is NEVER easy... NEVER.... No matter how well you handle it, No matter how much you try to not be hurtful... It is still never easy...
I am still running low grade fevers.. They seem to come in the early morning and at night.... It is driving me crazy.. I still can not talk.. I am just so tired. I am going to call my doctor today.. Liz made a comment last night that my color is really off again.. I am sure my blood levels have dropped again... And well i need to get that checked before it gets to low... Plus if my body is fighting off a infection it will effect my blood levels... I can not afford for them to get to low again.. period... as it is they range between 8 to 10 at max.. Still real low on a normal range... So i will be calling my doctor today...
I ended up sleeping until 430 or so yesturday then took the children to church. I must have looked like a sight because everyone was looking at me and saying oh my you dont look good.. Just what a women wants to hear... They all ment well i know but lord i did not need to hear that.. ;-) After church I went back to bed again.. I have been up long enough this am to post here, take a shower and I am wiped out.. As soon as i finish this i am going to go and lay back down again.. Like i said i am just so tired....
I pray that each of you are haveing a blessed week.

2009-Jan-7 - Wiped OUT!!
Posted By glenda
I have to admit i have not been this wiped out in a long time. This cold has knocked me on my butt..... I went to bed yesturday afternoon around 1 and only got up enough to go to the bathroom and get a drink of water. I have done this all day yesturday, last night and today.. I am still wiped... I cant talk, my throat is hurting, my chest hurts, my head hurts.. YOu name it i just feel alround bad.... I know that it was a blessing that this showed it head before surgery.. I sure did not need this to happen after surgery or while i was in the hospital. i am sure that it would have only hurt my recovery time. So if i can say anything I can thank God that he allowed the cold to come out before i went to the hospital.
Today has been a day. You know what no matter how much you think you are ready for your divorce papers to come into the mail and no matter how much you know that what has taken place is the only thing that could have taken place.. Still when you get those papers you hold them in your hands and feel like a failure.... I mean there is no other words that can fill how i have felt today.... A failure.... I mean I knew the papers were in, I knew that i was divorced, I knew that the judge had signed them and to be honest i also know that me and the children are better off now.. But to hold that stack of papers that round out the last 20 years of your life in your hand and it is so cold and so uncaring... That stinks....
have a blessed day all
