Day 151: Trying to get back in the swing of things

11/20/2011

Today is Sunday. Family day. Usually we would normally have gone to church together, but the kids and I are all still sick. My son has pink-eye, and I did not want to expose other kids to that, so we stayed home. I needed to go to church, but I also needed some rest. I got to talk to Ian this morning via Skype and told him about us not feeling well. He felt bad for us, but was also still a little under the weather, and hoped that we all would feel better.

The rest of the day, I spent hanging out with the kids and did a little bit of cleaning up. I can't seem to find the energy to clean the house completely, either from being sick or just plain down about Ian being gone again, I can't tell. I just can't find the motivation to do it. I have toyed with the idea of having a cleaning service come in and straighten it up for me so I can start fresh and just work on upkeep, but I am not sure just yet. I asked for some recommendations from people in the area and was so surprised when I got some offers from a few friends who were willing to come over and help me out. I couldn't believe it. I mean, I have done it for others, but never expected people to offer it to me. It was such a nice gesture that I probably would have take people up on if I was able to be home tomorrow to work on it with them. Unfortunately, I have to work tomorrow and Tuesday, so I can't do anything until Wednesday. Still, getting the gestures and caring of my friends was nice to have.

One day at a time. Getting one day closer.
