My daughter is in a play so I was at the school helping with costumes last night. Got home LATE and sat with my birds, sipping a glass of wine - my older parrot had a sip too! they like to know what I am eating and will pester me to get some.
Daughter came home at 10.
this morning I could barely get out of bed - half a glass was too much wine, not enough water - now I have a headache!
Trying to watch what I eat, and again, watching too much food going in! My stress level is very high these days, with so much up in the air (what school will my daughter go to next year? How is my older daughter doing, she seems to have a cold every time I see her? How long is the divorce going to take? Will my housekeeper ever come back, but if she comes back it means her poor hospice patient is deceased!)
I am listing some things for which I am grateful: 5
1. Grateful that I care to start dating again someday
2. That my daughters don't have perfect lives so they are learning and growing through a variety of experiences, but I am able to be there for them when they need me
3. That I have a decent job with excellent health care, even if I do have to take some furlough days
4. Hmm, what else? That my problems have to do with excess stuff instead of dearth.
5. that I am able to sit in my office and commune through fatsecret with so many others who are so far away but still all in my same boat!

Abba ... sorry about the headache!! I hope it clears up soon. You have had a lot of your plate for quite a while ... and you are in very good company!!! I appreciate your 'down-to-earth', matter-of-fact way of stating things. All those things that are 'up in the air' will land at some point, for you, me, and so many others we share this journey with. What a crack up that your birds drink your wine and taste your food!! That was a new one on me!!! You will find a new rhythm and will see a decline in your chart again. Take care ... feel better!!!

Was it red wine? Red wine is notorious for headaches. You have a lot on your plate Abba and I can relate. The stress is killing me the past couple weeks. I think we just have to try and push it out of our minds and hope it will get better. It is just not good for us.

Oh and the furloughs! Not to mention we have had layoffs - two people per week for the past 3 weeks. Yes, Moose, birds make fun pets!

Yes, that ole stress is very toxic. I am in the same boat with a gain this week, but just love your positive attitude. Keep well my friend, and take care of yourself. I am going to hit the trails for some light running (and walking if I get tired), just to shake off the fuddy duddies. LOL!!

As always, think you have a very good handle on your situation, even if sometimes your take is that things are not as smooth as you would like - love it when we count are blessings! I have the same thing - worrying about what my kids are doing next year - graduation is looming and everyone is stressed - should be such a joyful time!!
