flaxseed's Journal, 05 July 2010

Hope everyone had a happy 4th July. The weekend here wasn't very good. My de-cluttering didn't happen and has had to take a back seat at the moment. OH is at the end of his cycle and his immunity is pretty well shot. He spent most of it in bed sleeping and his appetite has vanished again. Roll on Wednesday when the next course starts. I feel very frustrated when he is like this and although I'm sympathetic to how he feels and do all I can to help him, I have a life too. Counselling has given me a new perspective on things and I am able to cope with things better now without going into a downward spiral. My counsellor reminds me that I have a duty to myself as well as OH.

The weather has changed and we had high winds on Sunday night that brought down trees and the roads are littered with leaves, twigs and petals. We haven't had much rain but the temperature has really dropped and I needed a jacket to go into the village today.

Eating has been reasonably good today and I've started logging my food again.
Hope I'll be able to start de-cluttering again after Wednesday. Have a good day everyone and remember your journey is just that and however you want to travel its your choice.

You sound like you have a lot going on right now, physically and emotionally! Great job on starting to log your food again. Have a nice and relaxing day if you can.

Well, the clutter has a habit of waiting for us. I did succeed in "some" clutter removal, just not as much as I wanted. I am sorry to hear OH is not well, but your counsellor sounds very wise. Your last sentence said it all and I agree 100%. The journey is nice but the side roads are rough. Be well Flax.

I love the last line of your journal. How wonderful! I am so glad you have come to that place and also want to thank you for sharing the insight. :) I am sorry that OH is not doing well but it does gladden my heart to hear you are taking care of you despite how he is feeling. Woo Hoo's are in order for that! :) As to the clutter-it will be there later so do not worry over it too much as I know when things settle you will be ready to tackle it. {{{{{hugs]}}}}
