I had a good day. Yes, I was exhausted through most of it. I did not do much around the house. I did wash and dry pants so I could get dressed. Once I got dressed I went to see a friend.
I did not realize exactly how good a friend she is until today. We have children about the same age have the quite a few of the same interests and go to the same church. We have talked on occasion and emailed more frequently than that.
Part of my stress was having no one to talk to. It is not the same talking to the hubby as it is talking to a girlfriend. While I can speak about my hopes, dreams, fears and day-to-day life with the hubby. He doesn't get it the way another woman will. He freely admits this.
Since we moved to this town a year ago, I have not had that kind of connection with anyone. So I visited my friend - quite possibly my bestie. We talked about quite a few things. Oh, we talked. Neither one of us realized how much time had passed. I no longer feel so alone in the world and am very blessed to have found her.
There were other good things that happened. I got rid of some more stress by bowing out of a toxic situation. I really cannot say more about what the situation was. Again, maybe one day I'll have readers. I'd hate to piss off the other party (not family by the way) by airing dirty laundry.
Good days have been few and far between. I hope and pray that is going to start to be the exception instead of the norm. I think once this exhaustion from lack of sleep is a thing of the past I'll be doing pretty good.
You all sleep well.
