Stress less (read all 2 entries…)
oVeR tHe RooF LeVeLs

Well stress and anxiety are WAY up there these days just about as they were about a year ago when my grandmother, father-in-law, and cousin all died within a five month span, my mother and best friend were both diagnosed with cancer, and my son was shot during a robbery.

Now with hubby down to teaching part time and having to pay privately for my health insurance, things are not looking good. And we wanted to sell the house and move closer to hubby’s job but the real estate market is in bad shape and we’d have to take a huge loss on our house if we wanted to insure a sale. Not willing to do that since our house has just been completely updated inside and out. I’ve been looking for a job but that’s been difficult since I quit my job two years ago to take care of family members during their illnesses. I’ve been on a couple of interviews and this seemed to be an issue for some reason. Why I don’t know. My skills haven’t changed. And my CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) has been getting horribly worse – scary in fact. I can’t sleep and the joint and muscle pain are almost unbearable at times.

Well I guess since things can’t get much worse it’s uphill from here. I’ll hope for the best.



lose weight (read all 2 entries…)

I’m adding this to my list of goals that aren’t panning out at the moment. I haven’t lost weight but I haven’t gained it either. I had intended on doing some walking this fall but that didn’t work out. My CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) has been taking its toll. Most days it’s a chore just to get out of bed, and that usually isn’t until around 1pm. since I can’t seem to fall asleep until around 7am. I’ll keep this as a goal but don’t see it being accomplished anytime in the near future.



go to bed earlier (read all 2 entries…)

Well this certainly isn’t a goal I see as obtainable. I’ve been living with a long bout of insomnia for about 6 months now. Probably due to my CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). I don’t go to sleep until about 8am. and I get up around 1pm. I tried staying up all day after not sleeping, thinking I would be ready for bed around 11pm. It didn’t work. I was up all night – until 7am. – and then felt sleepy enough to go to bed.

On the positive side, I’ve created a lot of artwork in the middle of the night. It’s quiet and I don’t have to worry about the distractions of the phone, my hubby or dog.

I may have to delete this goal.
