Hope you had a peaceful evening. Don't let the Christmas cards this year bother you too much. This Christmas will be very different from any others, since your life is different too.
We do all of these things because they are fun and we enjoy them. It's not much fun this year, so take a time out. Other years will be different.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
SC-it is horrible when you feel like you are moving forward and they pull you back.
Mt-I didn't do the Christmas cards this year either. H took his to work, which he does every year, but he could care less whether I sent them to anyone else and I just didn't feel like it so....
Try to just get through the day. One day and then the next. Don't worry too much about the trip being your last or you won't enjoy it at all. Have a good day. Hope is right other years will be different
If you focus on the past, you ruin the future. You can only live for today.
Had a nice night shopping last night with H. We played with a keyboard, for about 30 min in Best Buy, it was fun. H seemed to really enjoy it. Then we looked at car lots in town too. H isn't feeling well, has some nasty stuff in his lungs and has shared it with me, I don't have it in my lungs yet, mine is just a cold. He also had a headache, took some stuff, but didn't help. On the way home we were talking about a song, couldn't remember the title, it was Steve Miller Band, The Joker. So when we got home I played some songs on You Tube. I started working on cookies, and H laid down on the couch,I found some other songs for us to listen to. We listened to music and we watched the last Monday night football game. H finally left around 10:15. He still wasn't feeling good, and had to go to work early this morning. Haven't heard anything from him this morning.
Supposed to have freezing rain this morning, so far nothing. Yeah! Today is my last day for work until the 5th, so that is nice! Usually I am so excited about vacation. I am excited but not as much as usual. I guess at this point that is normal. If there is a normal
Some people here have asked where my Christmas spirit is, because I didn't put a tree up in the foyer at work, part of that is we got a fountain with ferns where the tree normally went. It pissed me off a bit when they asked, as they were part of the group that was informed by the coworker by my SIL of H's A. So I really wanted to say to her, You know what is going on in my life, so just F- off. But I didn't. Don't even remember what I said, but I figure what the hell.
I won't worry about the cards, for one year, people will just miss out on the dogs. At family things during the year people would always comment on how much they liked getting my cards to see what the dogs would be doing.
Thanks for your thoughts guys! I really feel better knowing that others have the same feelings I am having.
MT, sounds like you have some "mean girls" at work. I'm sure that you did well with your response to them. I do a lot of "response in my head" to the OW these days. It makes me feel better and keeps me out of trouble, lol.

Ah yes, the High Road. Always tough to take but worth it in the end (or so they tell me!)
