Today is my moms birthday. She is 90 today and still just as awesome as ever. We had a big party planned for her but she went and got Covid.... So we have postponed it until the 16th. I got her a kindle and can't wait to give it to her. She will LOVE it. (I hope)
As I was getting ready for work this morning, Dennis was constantly bothering me. It wasn't anything major, just little things that were driving me crazy.
To retreat from the annoyance, I took solace in my amazing earbuds equipped with noise cancellation. I turned on a TV show I had been watching, thinking I could finally have some peace while preparing for the day. Nope! Dennis ignored my daily routine and chose that exact moment to strike up a conversation.
And the worst part? He had absolutely nothing interesting to say.
Today, he decided to show me the difference in water pressure on his side of the sink.
*Sigh*
So, I kept taking my earbuds in and out, trying to hear him out despite his lack of captivating content.
Finally, after many failed attempts, I angrily removed my earbuds and snapped, "WHAT?!?"
Dennis seemed all butt hurt and huffed, "Nevermind!"
I thought I might be in the clear to finish, but then, just a few minutes later, he extended the electric razor towards me, asking me to trim the back of his neck. As soon as I reached out to grab it, he pulled away, saying, "Well, maybe now isn't the best time. I'll wait until you're no longer aggravated with me!"
Smart man.
Starting a new year can be extremely challenging for those who are self-employed. With all the festivities and obligations taking place in December, important end-of-year tasks often get neglected. And as if that's not enough, we also have to juggle the usual monthly responsibilities along with the year-end tasks. It feels like a never-ending cycle! I'm hoping to complete everything within a week, but I'm not very optimistic about that. Maybe I should invest in a cloning machine to make things easier for myself.
My blog helps me fight off my inner demons. While I could keep a private journal hidden away, I choose to share my thoughts in the hope that they might offer solace to others facing similar struggles. Sometimes, just knowing you're not alone can make all the difference. Online support groups are everywhere, but there's something special about reading someone's thoughts, especially when they resonate with your own. Each of my posts is fueled by a unique mix of emotions, experiences, and outcomes. Being at this stage in life is uncharted territory for me, with all the ups and downs it entails. It can be tough and amazing at the same time – it all depends on the day!
