Besides the July 4th holiday weekend, it's also the 1st anniversary of my oldest brother's death. Last 4th of July was spent driving a 1000 mile triangular route in the span of 3 days from NE PA to VA to NW PA back to NE PA and included a funeral and picking up #2 son up from summer camp. It was like a high speed rollercoaster ride through an emotional amusement park those 3 days.
Long story short, my brother had been in a vegetative state since Jan. '08 after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke.
His body gave out last June 29th, 18 months after the stroke, without him ever regaining consciousness.
Needless to say, we didn't feel much like partying this year either and I've felt a tad not myself.
This 4th of July weekend involved trips across the state to pick up a kid from summer camp and trips to the ER at 3am. BIL's foot will be fine btw..... Now we are into the July pre-Band Camp rehearsal season.
Between feeling out of sorts and this unseasonably hot weather I am finding it difficult to get anything accomplished. I start plenty of stuff but I just don't have any 'umph' to follow through to the end lately.
Plus I've been cranky and irritable.....not that DH or the teens will say they can NOTICE a difference there. ;-)
I just don't feel like doing anything.
And everything & everyone annoys me.
About the only thing I can concentrate on is whining to you all.....aren't you lucky??lol
I'm trying to find my groove again. Maybe tomorrow will be better...
