Nausea

Ah, nausea has set in. It's not acute nausea like I get with eating something I shouldn't. It is a long and pervasive nausea, a turning of my soul as much as my stomach. What has happened? Not much really. I guess you could say life has happened and I really am feeling unable to handle things well anymore. I feel like curling up into a little ball on the sofa. The dog does that soo well, me not so good. When did life get so out of focus and how did it get that way? These are questions I need to answer, hopefully, soon.

I now have the finances to do that bit of surgery I need. The surgery hasn't been scheduled yet so I don't know timing. It will mean a couple of weeks of being sore and a few more of restricted movement, but on the scale of things it shouldn't be too bad. This I guess figures to be another surgery year.

This isn't exactly surgery, but Monday I am having one of my molars capped. A number of years ago the tooth broke ans a huge filling came out. It has been a huge hole with jagged edges in my mouth ever since. I have never had a tooth capped before so I don't know exactly what to expect. I do hope that it will mean that in the future I will have to do less picking and flossing to remove food from the area (sorry for the image there.)

This is a dreary and rainy day here in Connecticut. We are on the fringe of a large Atlantic storm which will give us weather all weekend. These kinds of storms are called nor'easters. You can't fight the weather! Weather and nausea, ugh!

Keep dry!

OMG!

The inflatable Santa across the street is totally deflated. It's a red blotch on the snow over there. The weather here has been just awful. We have had snow, ice, high wind and extreme cold. I guess you might expect this in the winter, but it isn't even officially winter yet. Usually we figure Winter to begin on the winter solstice which will be December 22nd this year. This is still several days away. In any case Christmas around here will be a dirty white.

I did some shopping for Christmas gifts, primarily for my granddaughter and have sort of laid low to keep warm. I have more shopping to do and may do some this evening. The one thing about the Christmas season is that it is so busy and chaotic. I think I used to have fun at Christmas. Now it seems that there is more anxiety than fun. I am sure I am not alone in this feeling.

I cooked yesterday and again today. It's becoming a trend. I kind of enjoy cooking. I just haven't done much of it in the past few years. Another one of my house companions generally does it. She has been busy so I have done some of it.

I know there is nothing very significant here, but I just wanted to write a brief life update. Stay unstressed and be happy.

Love,
Shel
