I just feel better when I get a comment or two. I am trying to stay positive but life is hard here or has been hard here. Just too much, emotionally, financially, physically. I am some what of a Pollyanna and try to see the positive but in reality life is hard. Then I chastise myself for becoming ungrateful and I think of people who are so much less fortunate than I and tell myself I am selfish and I need to get a life. This then leads to more bad feelings. I don't know why a comment or two from people I have not met means so much to me. Maybe that we are not alone in the universe. I don't know I am just weird.
I paid as many bills yesterday as I had money to do that with. We are a sad lot here and need to pay attention and be careful. You should see the floor around my desk. It is flooded with trash paper from cleaning off the desk. Why do I let things pile up like that? I hate to face reality in some aspects of my life. It is just that simple.
Really need to sew today as the bookkeeping kept me busy most of the day. Hubs has been in my face all morning and all yesterday and I can't figure out what he is thinking. Drives me crazy. Try living with a genius. NOT FUN.
Will make a stir fry tonight to use up left over steak and so much squash from garden. Hub's and I need to get back to work on the kitchen. I am afraid we will have to finish it mostly ourselves. He has to over think and do everything the hard way. Right now it is hammers. He cannot use a hammer unless it is the right kind. Is that a framing hammer? That is not the right kind of hammer. Really? I have been pounding nails into my walls with the side of a meat tenderizer for years. Oh know I have done it all wrong everything will fall off the walls and the world will come to an end. See what I deal with every damn day, no wonder I get a wee frazzled.
Well I am off to my machines.
Have a great and productive day!

I am more of a lurker than a commenter but only because I read at work and we cant get on the actual blog to post, only on to a reader. So even when I cant comment I am still here, cheering you on! xx
ReplyDeleteLurk away I am also a lurker. We need a T-shirt with that printed on it.....
DeleteYou are to hard on yourself. You do sooooooo much for everyone
ReplyDeleteYes and they do a lot for me, and I am hard on myself always have been I am working on this:)
DeleteI'm a lurker too, but since I first read your blog I've been so impressed by how hard you work, how much you give, and how you bear so much so lightly.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I feel that the load is hard to bear and then I remember that I am blessed.

ReplyDeleteI have three hammers, but someone working here had to have a framing hammer. I cannot tell the difference in hammers!
ReplyDeleteI am so bad about commenting on my friend's blogs sometimes.....call it self-absorption or just plain idiocy. I am sorry you are feeling overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteYou do do too much for others and don't take care of yourself first. Many of us are guilty of that it seems.
Life IS hard. We need to find a way to make it easier to bear our individual crosses. I am glad you are my friend.
I miss you and wish I could see you. I know one afternoon with my Sluggy would make everything all right.
DeleteHi Kim! I just have to tell you this - you ALWAYS make me laugh. No matter what is going on in your life (and there always is A LOT going on in your life, way more than I could ever manage) you always can find something funny. I really appreciate your sense of humour and I think it is what keeps you going. Keep smiling! :-)

Comedy and Tragedy are flip sides of the same coin. Old Swedish Proverb, " If you can laugh at it you can live with it." I laugh a lot!
