Short but sweet

I was pretty much out for the count yesterday. Turns out it was a PMS thing, although I didn't recognize it until this morning. Duh. Twenty five years of having a period, you'd think I'd recognize the symptoms... but no, I spent all day yesterday saying "I don't know why I feel so yucky..." Why is it so much easier to face symptoms when you know what you're dealing with? Once I can put a name on it, I suddenly feel empowered to conquer it. Weird.

So today, I'm ready to face the world. Funny how a whole day of nothing but the couch and daytime tv yesterday made me realize that just about anything is better than that. So today I'm up for anything. Gettin' out of the house... walking the dog, stopping at my favorite coffee shop, teaching a class... life is good.

Life is good.

So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well.
