Tuesday before Thanksgiving

Tuesday before Thanksgiving


I have been struggling to remain positive this past week. I feel on a metal patio chair the Saturday before last and really hurt myself bad. Not so bad that I had to go to the hospital but when I did get in to see the doctor, his comment was that he had not seen a hematoma that covered from hip to hip a cross the abdomen like mine did.

He looked at it and ever so gently touched various parts of it to see if there was anything remarkable other than the very deep purple almost<b> black </font></b>color to my belly and below. It hurt, it still hurts but the coloring is finally turning into the lighter shades of bruising and there is only one spot that is still rock hard and super sensitive. I have been able to do absolutely nothing other than rest. I push myself to the point where I can't go any more and have to lay down and rest.

The same goes for the job, still working from home but all the sitting all day long makes me sore and tired. I get to a point where it hurts so much all I want to do is sit and cry but I push on through it and get my work day done and then go lay down and rest.

Not being able to do anything this time of year is beyond frustrating. And to top it all off I am finding myself more and more depressed. I'll snap out of it eventually but for the time being I'm so frustrated!!

Yesterday the realization that nothing stays the same and everyone wants to keep Thanksgiving as simple as possible, no need in me doing any of the incredible edible delights that I'm used to making...everything is store bought and convenient. No love and hard work required. WTF????? What do I have to look forward to other than showing up, eating what may be there and then heading home??

And to top it all off, this is Bedlam weekend. My Sooners have not been playing up to the caliber that I think they need to play...this might be the year that the OTHER Oklahoma team beats my OU Sooners!!! Good God!!!

So, I find myself having to gear back and heal from my terrible fall. I'm feeling the self-imposed isolation that goes with working from home and being injured. Life can be so challenging at times!!

You have a lot on your plate (not a Thanksgiving pun) and hope you heal quickly! Those falls have lingering issues, so I totally understand how frustrating it is for you, not even counting that it's the beginning of the Holiday season!

I agree on Thanksgiving meal...although it serious work and effort, I enjoy making the birds and all the sides...yes, i farm out some sides to guests, but i still handle the core elements, nothing pre-made from any stores...i lied the pumpkin pie form Costco is ridiculously good, but that's only one of the desserts...

Finally, Boomer Sooners...it's been a struggle this year, but benching Rattler at least gave them a fighting chance and showed real promise up until 2 weeks ago...a mild hiccup, but think they will show up strong for Bedlam!! Have faith, and i'll be thinking of you when watching!

OUCH - take care of that serious hurt lady.

Hope you snap out of this funk soon. Did you at least get the greenhouse set up?

OU ALMOST lost to KU. NOT K-State - KU!! (The basketball place.) The Boys have been rolling, so it might make Bedlam especially entertaining this year.
