I put up all my outside lights. Mind you, I did't do the eaves of the house, just the gutters around the lower parts, the lights around the porch posts and the light nets on the shrubs in front. I'm looking forward to seeing it when it gets dark. I came and and warmed back up (couldn't feel my hands), ate an apple and some cheese, and then stupid me got up a worked out as if I hadn't been climbing up and down the ladder all morning. Now it's triple OUCH!
Oh well, quite an all over workout.
I'm going to a Christmas party tonight at a friend's house. I met her in DivorceCare 2 years ago and she is one of the people who still attends every week to offer support and advice to the newbie's. I only show up there maybe once every 2-3 months to say hello. She has invited the whole group as well as the Friday night singles group so we'll see how many crowd into her tiny house. It's game night too. I'm hoping it doesn't get too competitive, I'm really not in that kind of mood.
So, that's the big goings on at the moment. I'm still trying to find ways to overcome the loneliness that is much worse right now than it has been in quite a while, but I find that by reminding myself that I no longer have to bend over backwards to try to satisfy someone that will not be happy I start to dig out a little. Never again will I have to worry myself to death about what I am doing wrong, why there is no way to get a smile or a hug out of someone, and I won't have to beg for scraps of love from a person who is completely devoid of it. I just hope I can build up enough inside myself to never feel that I need anyone again. Long, long road.

You just put up all of the lights on the house/yard by yourself. You work two jobs. You raise your son and care for your mom. On a daily basis you have proven already that you don't need anyone else!!!
Now, wanting someone else is a different thing entirely...
Have fun at that party tonight. Hopefully you can move your arms enough to raise a glass or two... Good job btw snacking on the apple and cheese. I have been doing the string cheese thing lately...

We always want what we can't have. No reason to set myself up for misery.
The party was fun. Thankfully it was only two subdivisions from my house so I was near enough to keep mom's mind at ease. There were quite a few people there I hadn't met before but several that I knew. That was good fun. FYI - CG was there. Talked to him a bit about his kids. He's still the same clown so it was good humor all in all.
The muscle pain from Friday is still with me. Heavens sakes! I've taken ibuprofen & hot baths but it's not helping. After standing on my feet and straightening the store for 8 hours yesterday I thought I was going to drop dead! I resorted to one of mom's percocet last night trying to get around the pain. Any other suggestions for muscle recovery from over doing it? I've never had it hurt this bad before...EVER!

Michelle, I think so too. Was so silly that when I was sore from that walking job I had earlier this year, that a little more walking would help. Plus I'm also a big believe in OTC pain-reliever stuff; either aspirin or advil? Can't remember which one is better for that.
