Tired

There was a lot of action here over the weekend. Normally, I don't have too many visitors but I had a grand total of five. Their visits didn't take away all the disappointment that I felt after not being able to attend the baby shower for a very close friend of mine and his girlfriend. Of course, some of them brought me more yarn to feed this addiction to crocheting that I've developed over the years. Thankfully, I have a purpose for these bundles of stringy goodness sitting in totes near me. I can't use the "running out of yarn" excuse for not achieving my goal. So far, I do have three scarves completed and will work on the hats today and tomorrow. I'm hopeful that I can have all three finished so the total of completed sets will rise to 33. Still a lot more to go but I can only go so fast! I'm just grateful that I've been given yarn. I have plenty of time to work on the products.

Other than that, I've been feeling down and blah. I know it's because the weather is nice outside. Whenever there's a swing in the temperatures combined with pleasant days, I'm stuck inside for breathing, Fibro or pain issues. That's the cycle that I've notice a lot of in the past few years. Monday, my sinuses and fibro were competing to see who will be able to give me a migraine first. I can't say for certain which came in first place but I know that it didn't change the end result.

Working my way through the sets and the books for my review blog have kept me pretty busy. On top of that, I've begun revisions on my novel. My goal is to have it revised within a couple of months. I know that I have piled things on my plate higher than I probably should. In all honesty, it's to keep my mind busy so that I don't have to dwell on some of the hard things. When I'm busy, I can put on that mask of "everything's okay" and not have to field a thousand questions otherwise. Unfortunately, that keeps everything inside where it eats away at me until I'm overwhelmed. Releasing those feelings or emotions properly hasn't always been a strong suit of mine. I can say that I have made some improvements but I'm not able to deal with an all-out assault of emotional missiles.

For me, I think this week will be a long one. I haven't been sleeping a lot because of the weather, the dog's schedule and just not being tired when I need to go to sleep. Later in the week, I have to get my blood checked to make sure that I'm still within the levels I need to be. I'm hoping that I don't have to adjust any medicines. I hate doing that. My schedule is weird enough the way it is. Who knows what will happen though? I mean, I had a bunch of visitors this weekend that I didn't expect so why not during the week? Either way, I hope the week is a good one for all of you out there. Stay safe during the rough weather and we'll see each other on the other side.

Until next time,
Kay
