Yesterday, I read the comments a few of you made to my post, "When the Going Gets Tough...". I had had a miserable day at work--bad enough that I just want to chuck it all and be much poorer but much less stressed; I got a note from my older son's physics teacher telling me that he's falling behind (nothing new, he's been battling ADD for years and hates medication, so he doesn't take anything); clashed mildly with my husband over the situation with our son; and felt my heart racing uncomfortably (a side-effect of being hyperthyroid).
So when I read your comments, I did what any self-respecting scared, sick person does: I cried. And I write this, I'm crying again.
Thanks--for the first, but certainly not the last time--for your concern and support.
Bad and Getting Worse
1 day ago
I can honestly not imagine myself in any other profession (no matter how many maddening PEOPLE I must deal with! ;-) which makes me one of the lucky ones...
ReplyDeleteI was skimming one of the chihuahua-rescue websites last weekend, w/tears streaming down my face... My husband timidly stated: "Maybe it's too soon!"
I told him it'll ALWAYS be too soon, but dear sweet Buddy-dog needs a playmate his own size. We're going to go meet Miss Clarice tomorrow.
I just read that post and the supporting comments and felt a bit teary-eyed myself. It's a marvel how close we can feel to people far away that we only know through an online blog!
ReplyDeleteI believe in prayer, so will be praying along with the others for a successful surgery. After your hip disaster, I can't imagine the anxiety you are feeling - I will pray for calmness for you and your family in the next week.
