Ya like my play on words?

I used to dread Mon. morn., when I was still working, had to get the kids off to school and get DH on the ball.

I now love mondays because my little routine and the world gets back to normal, no pressures, no deadlines, no anxieties and no stress.

But, I mourn the fact that I don't have all the above with me anymore. Even a little of the anxiety & stress were a necessary evil to get and keep me going.

I'd love to be able to do all the things I used to Hate to do. That doesn't mean I still want to do them.......just want to be able to do them!!!

End of Whine, pass the cheese please.

I still dread Monday mornings. In fact, I dreaded it so much today that I took a sick day. It's half sick day/half mental health day I did not get much sleep last night and feel a bit nauseated today. I think I may be getting a sinus infection because every time I blow my nose my ears crackle and I feel a little dizzy. I am looking forward to retirement when every day is a Saturday. I may feel differently in a year

I feel the same way, Sally. You described it to a "T"!

I miss getting dressed up and walking into the ward and hearing 3 or 4 voices calling my name.

Like Sally, I don't actually want to get dressed up- those clothes are long gone. I just miss it. And the earrings and the shoes.

Not all the walking around the concrete floors, tho'.
