Topic: Life Changes Based on Unknown Circumstances | |
---|---|
I've been a mother all of my adult life (since I was 18). My baby will be grown in less than 4 years. Life will definitely change for me. I don't remember what it's like to focus on myself. I might have to steal a grandbaby. Stealing grandbabies does help. I 'empty nested' 3 years in a row, got a break for a year then the final went. A few years later I pushed out the X but she ended up getting everything because I was stooopid and hired a worthless lawyer. I went from a full family of six to zip in a handfull of years. Empty nest can be brutal alone. There are tricks that help like playing a radio in their room. The feeling will pass but you're right, it is a big life change. Its hard not to smother them if you stay close by them but if they are going away to school or the service it can get over-powering at times. Hobbies help alot. |

Its done. 1pm till 4:35pm in the DMV 8 Year license cost $47 No warrants and no outstanding tickets. They did want a valid medical card to renew the CDL (glad I didn't try), they were calling the doctors to verify on all the med cards (some new thing?). Next renewal will be if I live to 65. How are you feeling now that it's all done? Fatigued but I feel the same about it as I did this morning. This era of my life is done. I have no idea what comes next but I know it won't be as a wrench. Physically, the way I feel after being out all afternoon is a bold reminder of why I am currently unemployable. I'd take a nap but the pain is too intense even after the handful of ibuprofen I took when I got home. Still don't want to eat. I hope the rest of your evening goes well and you're able to get some food down. |

I do have some cherries I can snack on but food...blah. I eat about every other day...third day or so. I do stay hydrated tho. Lots of water. I force myself to eat because I know I have to in order to live but ...blah. I made some homemade fire-gravy Sunday. Its red sauce with hot Italian sausage and breakfast steaks browned in hot Chile oil and a five pepper blend then cooked all day in tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes in the slow cooker. Its really hot but not that spicy. I have a bunch left over. Will probably have that tomorrow over fettuccine, linguini or spaghetti noodles with pretzel buns. I'm feeling a bit better now that I got the bleeding to stop. |
