No Complaints

I had a pretty fun weekend. Our new TV arrived and we set that up. A friend visited Friday night for some wine and Star Wars Trivial Pursuit. Then Saturday we did some major cleaning. That's not super fun, but it was good that we got it done. The kitchen had a nest of dust bunnies multiplying by the dozen in the corner. And the floor needed some serious scrubbing after being tracked all over by delivery men and other workers. My husband is pretty kick ass because he was the one scrubbing the floor while I watched a movie on the new TV. :) Then Saturday night friends visited for dinner and then the four of us went to another friends' house and played fun games all night. The ladies rocked at Battle of the Sexes (2-0), and we also played Apples to Apples, my husband won, which is fitting since he was really excited about playing it again. We had a great time and have plans in the works for a couple more dinner and games nights in February.

Sunday we went to Mass and there it was in the bulletin, my announcement for my support group. I tried to send it in to the local newspaper by email, but seeing as I don't get the newspaper I'm not sure how I will find out if it actually gets printed. Lucky for me my therapist is posting fliers all over the hospital and potentially going to contact other folks they've seen in his group who have had losses so they'll know and maybe possibly will come.

I'm super worried that no one will show, that I'll be sitting in the community center in a circle of chairs all alone. I can see how just setting a meeting and getting the word out is a great accomplishment, but if no one shows up it would be sort of all for nothing. It makes me think of being pregnant, but not getting to take the baby home. Just another loss. Is that too extreme? But for now I'm going to shake off those worries and wait until the day comes to see what the result will be. There really isn't any point in getting worked up about it now.

So there it is, I'm trying to be more positive.

Monday after work I exercised, it's almost becoming a habit! I really cranked on the elliptical, I ended up with a blister on my palm from yanking the handles back and forth so hard.

Yesterday was a good day. Work was busy, I watched the inauguration, pretty cool, and had my therapy appointment after work. Lots of good stuff all around.

This weekend should be fun as well, my husband's college buddies (plus a wife) are visiting and we're going snow tubing. (A good thing about having company visit is that it forces us to clean our house. We are super lazy otherwise. But, hey, we both have full time jobs and the last thing I feel like doing when I get home is cleaning a toilet.)

Going to hit the elliptical in a bit, I'll go easier on the handle bars.

It's a wonderful Wednesday.

P.S. Two years ago Sunday I found out I was pregnant with Isabella. (1/18/07)
