Maybe this round of sleeplessness and depression could relate to my friends' husband dying. She is much younger than her husband as I am younger than mine. Plus I feel so much for her - they have an adult handicapped child which lives at home. And one of her daughters was killed last year in an accident (drunk driver hit her).
I should realize that it's normal to be out of sorts when bad things happen to friends.

  up out of bed - 1/2 dressed due to severe cold emails lunch for me and MIL carefully so as not to cough or sneeze on it minor updates to the website took my personal things out of bedroom so that DH can prepare the room for the delivery of the mattress/box spring set tomorrow. eat supper  shower - after my shower pre-pare bench for MIL for hers tomorrow if I am able to help her with it read wash dishes and stove Uhhh this cold is rather severe but at least my throat is better today it's all nasal congestion and runny nose - face hurts today - trying a new medicine. I am very glad I did all the work ahead of time for the bed, now is just DH moving the furniture how he wants it. We are very excited since the mattress we have now is extremely uncomfortable. Very lumpy and not soft or supportive anymore. This is our last night on it.  I am really not thinking well. The cold is so ikky. I have a lot to do after the bed comes but hopefully he can help me make it up and everything.

Saturday -- March 10 Last night our new mattress and box spring set came right on time + it is so heavenly! Our new sheets are delayed - probably will be in Monday so we made due with the mattress protectant cover and 2 flat full sheets just for a few days  it will be that much nicer when the new really nice sheets arrive!!!! I was really comfortable and had no back, hip or neck problems -- and DH was extremely comfortable and said I made the best choice (I had worried as he refused to test it in the store!) ate breakfast in bed DH was in a rare mood cleaned MILs commode pail got dressed took off bedding and applied mattress protectant spray to our new Denver Mattress set + put heat vent plus a fan directed toward it to let it dry for 3+ hours!  continue throwing out old hideous stuff from the old bed - - including the old foam toppers + mattress cover (torn) check laundry to see if there is enough/washed bedspread which may still be ok to use on the queen sz bed - as it is pretty large write important letter input recipe for church project |

Sunday..... Sleep issue last night even though the new mattress is so comfortable  .... DH says I was coughing I don't remember that just that I layed awake a lot. showered eat breakfast get/read paper feed cats bandage MIL scoop litters and sweep around their area morning meditation organize some of the things in the study/dining area prepare calendar for this coming week letting DH just go to Unity without me and take his mom. have had a cold all week and I just don't feel like being around so many people. if they go thru with going without me (they never ever have before) it will be the first time I've been in my house alone for over a year. pitiful. i hope they go. just need to be alone. |

Monday - March 12 -- up, dressed breakfast for me and MIL fed cats changed litter - cleaned litter boxes - had to throw one away finally so will need to replace the spare one I use for my outdoor kitty occasionally - now using hers inside swept the floor and threw all the trash and recycling ordered special journals for the wedding couple lunch letter make phone call plan dinner hoping to pick up sheets later today or maybe tomorrow morning!!!/they came in - we picked them up and they are great -- no more flat too small sheets on our brand new mattress set wash dishes It's a common day. We're staying home for the most part unless the sheets arrive at denver mattress - then we will go right over to get them as I am using 2 full size flat sheets to get by on our new queen mattress. |
