thanksgiving letdown

yesterday was a tough day for me. i had no energy to do things and for the most part didn't. both boys are back at school and the house is again pretty much empty. bob thought he had a lead for a new job but it didn't pan out. i sat around for most of the day either struggling to read my next book club book but also cried and prayed a lot.

fortunately bob came home and said he might have another possible lead. he knows he can always go get a job at either a hospital or retail store but after owning your own business for 18 years, that is not his desire. he wants to branch out more and maybe do some consulting for some type of outpatient health care operations. i totally agree and support him in this decision.

we watched dancing with the stars last night and had a quiet evening. this morning i awoke feeling much more refreshed and more positive. i know there will continue to be little bumps in the road ahead, i guess i just needed a little pity party yesterday. today is a new day and i'm ready for it with a new attitude.

We must have mental telepathy, Nancy. I was feeling exactly the same way yesterday. In fact, I thought about calling you just to check in.

I'm glad you're feeling more positive today. Remember your baby steps! (((hugs)))

"It's My Party, and I can CRY if I you want to!" This seems to be my theme song lately as well.

I'm glad you all have each other to go every single step of the way, it is so unusual, don't you think?

Very Blessed, as you should be!

Strange how I thought the roller coaster would stop once we were finished with this disease. It just keeps on going. We just all need to hold on to each other through this.

I've felt the same way since Thanksgiving. I can only imagine how you and the others feel, Nancy. I'm glad you found yourself a bit more refreshed this morning. ((hugs))

I will pray for Bob about work.

A new attitude. I think I desperately need to find one of those.

rilera, let's make it a party sized hot fudge sundae! Everyone grab a spoon and pass the whipped cream! We all seem to need a lift today! Hang in there Nancy!

I'm glad you are feeling better today Nancy. I don't like the after holiday slumps either. Personally, I am blaming all the triptophan and carbs for my yuckyness:)

I hope Bob finds something to his liking soon. What a great way to start off the new year!
