Nothing to report...

Things I've accomplished today: Finished sorting out all our paperwork for the last 16 months or so and put it away in a box. Thought about shredding all the unecessary paperwork discovered in ...
Cross-eyed and plain cross...
Spent the morning sorting out the two boxes of paperwork to try to find the tax information... now I'm cross-eyed! And annoyingly, some of it is still missing... we don't have a giving statement ...
Amazon
Woke up this morning with a headache bad enough that John had to get me the ice pack and tylenol... then I went back to sleep for a couple of hours and felt kind of better. This is the fifth day ...
Tired and a bit cranky...
Tired and cranky tonight. We went for pizza tonight and then John wanted to go to the movies but he's exhausted from his long week and he wouldn't have been able to stay awake, plus we really did...
Biblical womanhood? Ugh!
Just stumbled on a blog about 'biblical womanhood'... talk about gagalicious! The thing is, I might be a stay-at-home-wife through choice, and after nearly thirty years in the church, I'm sure of...

Blah blah blah
Talked to John a little bit this morning... he says don't stop taking your meds, don't try to push too hard, and we'll see about the gym membership next month. MAYBE we can swing it in a month or...
High Anxiety
Anxiety is running high today... John hasn't been feeling well and I'm very worried about him. Selfishly, some of my worry is 'what ever would I do if he wasn't able to look after me?' I can be s...
An actual outing!
I really wasn't feeling very well today, but I didn't really want to sit home alone and John only had one short call to run this afternoon, so he asked if I'd go with him. The call was in Jupiter...
Time for the new doctor dance
Off to do the new-doctor dance in a little bit... and I'm PETRIFIED! I hate doctors at the best of times, but going to somebody new is terrifying... what if they just tell me I'm wasting their ti...
Antsy with frustration
John doesn't want me to go to church today because there's too many people and too much likelihood of my breathing in perfume and stuffing up my lungs again... I'm getting sooooooo frustrated wit...
Book Description
I wasn’t eager to bail on it. I’ve consistently kept at least one diary over on the open diary site for the last 13 years. But since they’ve sadly abandoned it and they can’t make the site work for more than an hour at a time, it was either time to give up, give in, or switch… if anybody has any tips for how to extract 13 years worth of diary from there and bring it here, I’d love to hear them. If I can figure it out, saving some of my past would be nice… otherwise I’ll have to start fresh, so welcome! I’m female, 42, happily married for the last nine years come December, and I live in Florida with my husband John and our five cats. My health is a bit of a trainwreck the last few years and DH has problems too, but aside from that we live a very ordinary life. I do the best I can each day…
