Well....we're trying to get life organized since our meeting with the doctors this past Monday. Somehow Kris is staying positive and I have gone in to a downward spiral of hate and depression. I have been informed by a few people this week that I seem a bit "grumpy". Well I have been. So my apologies to everyone that's been around me - especially at work. I kinda yelled and got upset with a few people and decided I'd let them know about it! So anyway, tomorrow is Elvis day at work so I'm going to don the Jailhouse Rock look.
To help with stress and constant bad news I have decided to switch the way I spend money each month to a healthier expense. I have stopped going to Starbucks at lunch each day and in turn signed up at a gym. So far I'm doing good and the gym is about $150 less than Starbucks...plus my butt will start going away! My only issue is that for the past 2 weeks I have been very sick by 9pm and stay sick until morning. My head is spinning, I'm shaky, nauseous, my stomach hurts, and I can barely stand without seeing dots and getting light headed. I don't know what it is but I'm a little tired of it.
Also to help our house, I am making Kris go ride (bikes) at least 2 times a week. He is not allowed back home before 5 hours of riding on Saturday at least. When we were in CA he used to ride 4 days a week and Saturdays he'd be gone from 6am until around 3 or 4 pm. With him not riding, Haven having cancer and everything else, and me feeling like the pits of doom surround me our house can get very loud. So, I bought him some parts that he needed at one of the shops here and have pushed him to build a bike. It is now built and he's going riding even if I have to buy a new lock for the doors.
So that's my plan to make our house a little quieter and hopefully a bit more "cheery" - dare I say that word. If this plan doesn't work, I'm quitting my job, grabbing my passport, catching a plane, and hiding for a few years!

You need to have youself checked out; Haven would not be able to cope if something happened to you.
ReplyDeleteIt could be a lot of stress but make sure something else is not wrong.
I am going to have the endometriosis checked and again with the breast.....nothing has changed since 3 months ago. I just don't have the time to squeeze in more doctor appointments. I'll give you a call. I love you!
