Or so they say.
This year the holidays have had a rough
start for me. In October, not quite the holiday season, my shoulder went out!
Turns out I had a slight contusion, that I have mild tendiosis (that’s
tendinitis that doesn’t go away) and mild arthritis. The upshot is that it all
happened at the same time on the same day and I was down for the count! SO
painful. By the third day, I was almost in tears when CBD cream with THC came
to my rescue. I’m better now. Although my left arm is starting to act up, I’m
doing my Louise Hay affirmations starting now!
Was listening to the radio and heard my first Christmas
song, I don’t even know what it was. It just had me crying like a baby.
Missing my Mom and my Dad. Wishing this holiday would just go by.
I haven’t missed my Mom this much in a while.
November. I didn’t want to go to my son’s mother-in-law’s
house. We’ve been eating Thanksgiving there every year for a while now. I
wanted to cook my own Thanksgiving. I bought a turkey. Turns out that after
much texting back and forth, my son decided they were not going to come to
Vegas. Let me off the hook. His mother-in-law even went down there for Thanksgiving. So I got to cook my turkey and feed my son who lives here and his
girlfriend. KD got leftovers. And we all
had leftovers days later.
Watching and listening to YouTube, Alicia Keys comes on and
it’s her concert in New York City. She starts singing ‘New York’ and I start
crying again. I miss the East Coast? Really?
This morning I was checking out Facebook, and I saw a video
about a contest in a Lowe’s (or Home Depot) to ‘Sing-a-song and win a prize.’ I
clicked on it. The guy singing looked a lot like my Dad, and he was singing ‘One
in a Million You’ and it made me think of my Dad and it made me cry all over
again.
I know I will get through this. It is, after all, the most
wonderful time of the year…
