[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 216466"] Beth, you're so sweet. It would have been a nice holiday. Maybe next year. (That way you'll have a whole year to work on husband. :winking:) A new holiday tradition sounds like a good idea. But something easy, like going to a movie. That would be nice. And finding something to do during the next month to lift my spirits. Maybe working with our local charity organization putting Christmas packages together. Normally, I just tell my mom I have to go and get off the phone when she starts. But, I'm so sick of the same stuff over and over and over. It doesn't help that she's done the same thing for years and it turns out I was *really* sick each time (MDD and then heart disease). So, I get tired of having to explain that and her just refusing to get it. I did kinda lose it with her today and said, "JC, Mom! Just stop!" I mean, she sees how debilitating this illness has made me. She's told me that I'm not even recognizable from a few years ago. She tells everyone else. But, then she's like...you need to make yourself stay awake (as I'm talking to her on the phone with my eyes closed because I *cannot* keep them open). You need to get your nights and days turned around. :hammer: I'm on week 5 or 6 of a fever and over 2 months into this flare. My body is just plain tired. Gcvmom - Geesh. You have soooo much going on. I don't know how you do it. Any one of those things by themselves would make a person crazy...put it all together and....well, I'm REALLY impressed you're not in a padded cell. The hot water tank would push me *completely* over the edge. With everything else going on, I would at least want a hot bath. You're a better woman than I, my dear. And on top of that a gob of people at your house for Thanksgiving??? :faint: I kinda feel bad for whining now. :embarrassed: Oh...and my difficult child spilled a bottle of syrup...on her CARPET. Yeah. No way to clean that up. Her room would get so nasty, she'd have bugs in her room. It was really gross. Seriously gross. She's waaaaaay better now, but dishes do accumulate in there from time to time. [/QUOTE]
