Notes from the sick side
I ate FOOD!
Well, it was noodle soup with a bit of turkey in it, but hey, it was food!
I think I last ate something on Sunday (toast, and a few crackers).
I'll probably get all wild and crazy and take a shower sometime today, too.
I've been cleaning out some email inboxes from the past year, and it's made me realize what a horrific year I've had health-wise (physical and mental), and also in regards to caring for my mom.
I haven't had much time to work this out, but I did see my Mom on Saturday for just a few hours, and by the end of it I was climbing the walls and snapping at A. and Nate as well as at her. I'm trying to figure out what trips my triggers so badly when I'm around her. Part of it is that she talks to me like I'm 5 (and I don't think I talk to Nate that way!), part of me just THINKS she's talking to me like I'm 5... but that's not all of it. I get so worked up that I can't think about it logically, and can't analyze it. Some help dealing with frustrating parents would be appreciated.
Oh, and Nate left me a Hot Wheels car while I was asleep this morning. It was very sweet.
