A day... I have a lot of those. Sometimes it feels like I should just stop blogging because there is never anything to bloody well blog about. It is Monday and you all already know what that means. I clean my house on Monday. Do about 25 loads of laundry and change the bed and clean the bathroom, sweep the floors and do other stupid shit that needs doing. But now I am sitting and drinking a hot chocolate and thinking on our veterans. I am being grateful that I am here doing my own laundry and sitting in my own house. Yes, I am a Quaker and I am a pacifist and believe in non-violence but I am not stupid. I know that peace sometimes comes at a very high const. I know that no matter how much I practice non-violence in my own life that there are others that don't and won't. It can very conflicting.
Norbert just came and sat with me for about 5 seconds than ran off. I made my daughter clean her bedroom today. She takes the stereotype of teenagers and messy bedrooms to a whole new level. I don't get too upset over it because my bedroom was just as messy when I was her age. Cleanliness did not become important to me until I was well into adulthood. In fact, I know now that I was a hoarder for a few years there. But that is a story for another time. Even though I have 'recovered' it is still painful and very difficult to talk about. It was a very dark time in my life is all I will say.
Tomorrow morning I am going for a massage. I hope I can get this pain managed so I can stop taking ibuprofen. I am still taking it every day and it has been six weeks now.
Time for a hot bath then off to bed. I love my bed.
The cost of peace is huge. Which strikes me as sad and bad.
ReplyDeleteI hope tomorrow's massage brings you a heap of relief.
Hoarders fascinate me. I think my MIL was one.
ReplyDeleteWar breaks my heart.
My husband is snoring so loud I'm praying my ears fall off so I can sleep.
Ugh! Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI come from a peace-loving family of veterans. I think you get it, too.
I am so glad to hear that you tell your daughter to clean up her won room and not take that on board as well... hot chocolate mmmm yum... it is soothing... is there another long-lasting treatment for your pain?
ReplyDeleteI saw an ad in SkyMall magazine for a Sogno DreamWave full body shiatsu massage chair that costs $7,999. It provides 1200 plus square inches of body coverage. I could afford it if I got rid of my vehicles because I would no longer need to go anywhere, and I would save money on clothing because who needs to dress if they are going to be in a big chair all day, and I could cut off my satellite for internet and tv so that would be a big savings. See where I'm going here.....? You might want to look into one also.
ReplyDelete25 loads of laundry is what I'll be doing today. Fun, no? Go, me!
ReplyDeleteI like your blog posts. They're a lot more interesting than you think. Sometimes just voicing everyday thoughts is enough.
I think that the CoQ 10 I am taking is helping with my pain. You might want to try that. Make sure to find a good quality. I am taking 300 mgs a day and my pain level is definitely decreased.
ReplyDeleteI don't love my bed, I wish I did.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally anti violence myself, but I was taught from a young age that if it hadn't been for al the soldiers that fought in the second world war I wouldn't be here writing this now. I think the difference is that those men didn't choose to go and fight, they had to.
I never have anything to blog about....you are so right about teens messy rooms
ReplyDeleteMe too. My blog has come to a grinding halt again after Blogtoberfest. Around here it is still stormy and I don't want to write about that! Well I do but i'd best not. Anything else to blog about will take more energy than I have right now. Maybe at the weekend. I can't even post photos today as my email is playing up and I emailed my photos from the phone to myself. They haven't arrived. Must be an easier way. Enjoy your massage. Whoops I seem to be rambling in your comment box.
