Thank goodness it's friday. I'm a happy camper today with my day of vacation. I cleaned out my car and just need to get to the carwash to use their enormous vacuum. It looks like rain so it won't get washed today. Get to take da bears to the vet for their spring checkup and heartworm test. We're finding ticks already!

I'm taking another rest day today. And I did something this morning I've needed to do for a while now. I cancelled my Jazzercise membership. Yeah, I know that sounds like I'm caving but the fact is that I'm in pain 24/7 and I think it's directly related to the Jazzercise. Joint pain, muscle aches and yes, it is contributing to the health issue I mentioned. As much as I love it, it doesn't love me. So, right after that, I went and bought some new videos. A couple of Pilates and one called Cardio Salsa. Should be fun. Different anyway. And I spoke with my landlord about using the pool this summer. It's a private pool and he only wants $25 a month for both of us for unlimited access. Sweet! Can't get much lower impact than that. As much as it chaps my backside, I'm 41 this year and I can't do as much as I used to. Bu**er!

Yes, Phyllis, I had that heart to heart with DH last night. It was pretty short but to the point. Fact is that he's been really depressed the last couple months and I've been to depressed and stressed out to notice. We really connected and I think we both feel much better. He's wanting to go for walks with me this spring and summer to get out of the house and get some exercise. He won't be able to walk far with his bad leg and he's REALLY soft right now but he's pretty gung ho about it. And as for the messiness, it's driving him nuts too. But it's to the point where he just looks at it and sees such a nightmare that he doesn't know where to start so he doesn't. We're going to work on it together a little bit each weekend and get it squared away. I'm no neat freak by any stretch of the imagination, but I like a little order in my life. And we've agreed that when I get home from work, we will spend some time together and have some dinner. Hopefully I'll be able to get him to talk about something other than his game. Yeah, he's an addict. But it's pretty harmless and it keeps him out of the bars...lol. Besides, I don't mind playing a little myself now and then. It *is* fun.

Listen to me blather on. Thanks again ladies for all the support and kind words. Things just really came to a head yesterday and I blew up. I have a lot of patience, especially with DH, but I do have a breaking point. You all are the best.

AWESOME!

Had a little heart-to-heart with DH this morning, myself. Seems I've been so stressed and anxious and down that I, too, failed to notice HE was stressed and anxious about work, church, finances, kids...you know...LIFE! Duh.

So, I left him a little love note, I'm wearing his favorite outfit (well, the one that I can actually wear in public) and left my hair au natural curly like he likes it.

It's the little things in life, sometimes!

Hugs, Lori. Happy to hear about all the good things, too :)

Sassy

Glad to hear your "blather" and especially glad to hear that your heart-to-heart went well.

Lori, so glad to hear your talk was so productive and you're feeling better! Sounds as though it's a win-win situation for both of you. :-)

Three Advil, two cups of decaf tea, and one lunch later, the headache is a dim memory.

And it's still noisy as all get-out in here today. Not normal for a Friday afternoon.
