I miss my grand kids and all the noise and chaos. All I am left with is a quiet house and a ton of laundry. Extra towels, linens, and beds to change, plus our laundry. It all sits in piles waiting for me to take action. I think my action-o-meter is on the fritz. It might not work until tomorrow.
I have plenty of sewing to do and costumes to make so there are no excuses not to stay busy. Our weather has finally really turned cold so I guess I can admit is it winter. I really need to switch my winter and summer wardrobes around but I can't get myself to do this. So my main closet it a mess of clogs(winter) and sandals (summer). But I will eventually go through and give away what was not worn last year and pull all the winter things and then give away what I don't think I will wear again. Maybe this week, maybe not.
I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week, and then it will be the count down for Christmas. Where has the time gone? Why have I not been paying attention? Probably because I just don't want to? I need to get out of this funk and not be such a sopped cloth.
I wonder why I am not excited about the holidays this year?
Any ideas?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Are the holiday celebrations changing for you this year. For the first year since we married TheHub and I are going to be on our own. I will still do a modicum of decorating, but mainly we are looking forward to hanging out in flannel pants and tee shirts.
ReplyDeleteNo not really. But I have not decorated for three years now. I don't know. I am just blah!
DeleteYou've had some big and medium life changes this past year. Be gentle with yourself...and go hug that puppy(and Hubs too but not around the neck holding piano wire). teehee
ReplyDeleteI've been a bit blue myself. Must be something in the air.
I am sorry what can I do to cheer you up? Let you know I have not found one damn penny in two weeks?
DeleteWell telling me that will help..lololz
DeleteTis the season for funk!! I do believe - it seems everyone I know is in a funk.
ReplyDeleteI am with you - Christmas will be here before we know it - then the big let down!
Hang in there and just know you are not alone
You are right. It is probably the dark and the weather and the cold. But we will hang in there together.
DeleteThe year my mother died, Christmas was a bit hard.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right.
DeleteThe death of your mother has affected you in many ways, so I am quite sure that is the genesis of the funk. My best friend, not a bf, died in May of 2001, and I was in a funk for a year or more, doing nothing fun or appealing. Eventually, the feeling lifted, but life has not been as much fun since. I participated, as you will, but the feeling inside was different about life. Looking forward to those little grandchildren will help, I think.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. I have all this baking to look forward to and no mom to laugh with. I have not made cookies since she died.
DeleteMaybe it's something in the air because I have had things to do around my house like dusting, vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms and every day this week I got up, looked around and said, 'nope" and went and sat on the couch. Then this morning I woke up with what I think is a cold. So maybe it's just the time of year. I hope you get to feeling better soon.. XO
ReplyDeleteOh Robyn you and I jumped off the same star!
Delete(((HUGS))). I didn't feel like celebrating any of the holidays the year my mother died. Also, as I get older, decorating (and putting away, afterwards) seem to be more work than I want to do!
ReplyDeleteOkay, first my doctor told me it takes at least a month to adjust to the time change so the funk will be there (his words exactly) I have sun down syndrome, my body and mind run along with the sun rising and setting. I want to go to bed when it starts getting dark. I have S A D. SIGH.. I want to decorate some but Hubby really could care less.I have noticed with the exception of Mother and Pop, all the other parents and grandparents stopped decorating when they were around 65. Mother passed 6 yrs ago today. I always got her a new ornament for her tree. Guess I need to be doing that for myself now.
ReplyDeleteNot cleaning, not unpacking, not doing much unless it's vacuum packing meat for the freeezers.
