Living in a slump

On my last update I said I was going to stay more focused on updating. Well I worked a bunch of extra hours at the hospital, and kids are back in the swing of things with activities. I still have a small annoying cough leftover from my bout with covid.

I’m really struggling with my mental health. I’m exhausted all the time and can’t find motivation to accomplish all that I need to. I’m going to call my provider tomorrow and talk with them about changing my medication. The older people in my family have all gotten their boosters. The kids and I have our flu shots. I am waiting to get their covid vaccines for a bit since we all just had covid. Also waiting to get my booster shot. So since we are all protected I’m hosting Thanksgiving again this year. Should be 20+ people here. So lots of food prep over the next couple of days.

Last week was the anniversary of my mom’s passing. I had a bottle of wine, lots of tears, and reminisced for an evening. Some days the pain is so real it still takes my breath away. Some days its getting better, and some days I’m still angry about how unfair it all is. Grief is such a fickle thing.

Hope you all are staying healthy! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
