I'm happily married to Mr. Man. We have 2 daughters, Big R and Little R. I'm a stay at home mom. We moved from the big city to the country, living a dream. I'm a collector and a packrat. I'd rather read a book than watch a movie. I battle depression. I love life, but that wasn't always the case. This is my journal.

Worries

We got a dumping of snow yesterday. It was quite the snowfall, the roads were bad. It's been snowing some just about every day. But yesterday was a lot. We went to the reserve for smokes, came back home and then had to head down to Brampton to meet friends at a bar down there. Driving in it was brutal. We had a great time at the bar. We went there to see the band but I was a little disappointed. They didn't play the same type of music I had seen them play before, it was a different crowd. We'll be going back to the same place next weekend for the company Christmas party. It'll be a different band and I'm sure we'll have a good time.

Litte R is sick. Her throat was so sore we took her to the after hours clinic, but it was closed. So then we went to the Orangeville Hospital, we got all checked in then they told us it would be a 3-4 hour wait and Little R didn't want to wait, so we left. There was a sign on the door at the after hours clinic that said it would be open the next day so Mr. Man took her back the following night and it was closed again. From there he took her all the way back to the Fergus Hospital. She was really sick. They were there for a few hours and it's just a virus, nothing to do but let it run it's course. They gave her a prescription for some stuff that numbs her throat. That's it. She's still sick but feeling better than she was.

On Thursday Mr. Man and I went to see a play at the Orangeville Theatre. We saw A Christmas Carol. It was very good, we both thouroughly enjoyed it. It was our first time at the Orangeville Theatre, it's very small and quaint. The best part is I got the tickets from Freecycle. That was about the best Freecycle score yet.

On Friday I ended up getting SW to drive me to the Fergus Hospital. Suffice it to say I was having excruciating, unbearable menstral cramps from hell. I couldn't stand the pain. The hospital was very busy so I was there for several hours. When I finally saw a doctor she did a pelvic exam and told me my cervix looks abnormal. So I have to get an appointment with the specialist who did my biopsies before. Gawd I hope it's not cancer. They gave me a prescription for pills that are supposed to help with the pain. The pain did eventually stop Friday night. I've been having some minor cramping today, but it's nothing compared to Friday. Here I went 8 months without a cycle and the doctor told me once I go 12 months I'm in menopause. I was kind of looking forward to that. Then it started up again. So now I can worry about cancer all over again. Seems to me it was the same time of year I went through this before.

Christmas is really sneaking up on me. I'm only about half done my shopping. It would be so much easier if I knew what I want to get for people. I've got a couple of ideas. I just need the money and a ride into town. It's time to pay the mortgage so money is tight right now. I knew I should have shopped earlier. I have a feeling this is going to be a disappointing Christmas for this family. We've been meaning to tone it down the last couple of years, but we always end up going overboard. Looks like this year really will be toned down. I've been doing all kinds of things, socializing trying to get that Christmas spirit and it just eludes me. I'm not trying to force it. I'm just hoping it will happen. But now I'm worried about time and money. I'm worried about all of our health. I'm worried about T finding a job. It's all sucking the spirit out of me. I want to think about having a fun, old fashioned, family Christmas.

We've been blowing fuses like crazy all of a sudden. Today it's the livingroom that's out. Oh and the Christmas lights outside on the front of the house. It's been a different room every time. I suppose it could have something to do with all the new heaters. I don't know. But what a pain in the ass. Something else stressing me out.

I just want to feel that happy joy I used to feel. It gets harder every year I think. I just don't know what it will take to feel that way again. I mean I used to feel it even when I was worried about stuff. We'll see, it may come to me yet.

Mr.Man thinks he may have had a mild heart attack a couple of weekends ago. I'm very worried about him. The poor guy gets no rest. He is at a high risk for having a heart attack. He said if it happens again he will go to the hospital. I'm just worried that he may not be so lucky a second time. More to worry about.

We also had to do some major repairs to the car which cost an arm and a leg. Bad timing for that expense. Really getting worried about money for Christmas.

So we've been busy and there's plenty to worry about. But we're generally happy. Have a great day.
