Sniffle

All week last week I kept noticing people sniffling.
And coughing.
And losing their voices.
Asia came home from Yakima on Thursday with the bug.
He still hasn't kissed me yet...
And I still caught it.
So my voice hurts whenever I talk.
And my throat burns.
And I'm achy.
Makes me just want to crawl in bed.
Thank goodness for Nyquil.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.
I'll be okay in a few days, I suppose...

    Oh, Cath, I'm so sorry... I caught it at the end of last week and was down for a few days, too. Feel better soon.

    This comment will be totally unrelated to your ailing self but I wanted to say that I enjoy reading your blog and I think it's because you simply seem pretty content with life. Maybe it's because I know you but it's weird. Your words sort of eek of contentment even when you mention a struggle or two. Kind of weird but evidence of a deep peace within. That's my take on things anyway. I'm not big into many blogs but yours is a wee touch of goodness each time I check in and it's nice to keep up on the fam. Kudos on a great job with consistency and good stuff.

    Lorraine, that is quite possibly the sweetest comment I've ever received on my blog.

    You totally made my day.

    Thanks.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

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. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...

A year of lists...

  I've been blessed with a wonderful online group of friends for about 8 years and am joining them this year for a blog challenge to post one list a week in an effort to revive our mostly neglected blogs... I'm hoping to post a list each Monday starting today! List #1 - 2013 in review January: I got my first dent in my six month old Kia Sorento and it was a doozy! The car was totaled in a 19 car pile up on an icy Spokane hill. We were blessed by our insurance with complete car replacement with upgrades. Sorento #2 is working out just fine! February: I turned 44 - Asia and I celebrated with a little Spokane staycation downtown. Asia started working at Spokane Therapist - seeing his first clients and beginning to build his private practice. March: Kyler decided to quit running... having decided not to pursue a running career in college, he wanted to free up that after school practice time to work more and save more money for college. I was proud of his...
