Weekends suck.
I feel my loss more strongly on the weekends. I guess I have more time, or I think I should be doing fun stuff with the little one. I don't know what it is.
Today we hosted a BBQ for two other couples. It was great fun. Plus, I need the motivation of people coming to my house to get my a55 around to clean up the place. It has been utter CHAOS lately.
I have so many small projects and responsibilities that need taken care of, but, frankly, I just don't care about them. I need to start caring real soon.
And I need a job. Super stressful.
AND and I had a sleep study this week. Yep. What an adventure. A whole night of sleeping elsewhere, without dh, but in the company of at least 15 electrodes and wires and speakers and who knows what. And a whole day of taking naps. Four naps in 1 day. I called dh to tell him this and he was jealous. I woke up at 9 am, got breakfast, and went for a nap at 10:15. I finished 7/8 of a book that I have been trying to get to for some time. We'll know results in 7-10 days, after 1000 pages of results!
This book was actually wonderful. It spoke to me. The guy seems a bit crazy, so it is no wonder that I could relate. The book is "All the Strange Hours' by Loren Eiseley. Eiseley was a anthropologist who wrote essays and books for the layman. This is what I want to do "when I grow up", and my SIL recommended him to me. This book is his autobiography. I thought that by reading it I could see how to get there. Of course, the book is much more esoteric than that. And a good read.
There is a quote that he used, that I want to share with you, reader:
"One must somehow find a way of loving the world without trusting it" -GK Chesterton

I read your blog, but I don't think I've commented before. My name is Holli, and I lost my daughter Brenna about 2 1/2 months ago.
Hi Ya Chun:
I read your blog, but I don't always comment.
I don't like weekends either. I'm busy during the week, but when I'm home all day during the weekend, I find myself thinking that life was supposed to be like this everday on Mat. Leave.
It's especially hard when Mr. Spit is out of town.
I loathe the weekends. This one was particularly depressing as it rained both days. Sunday has always been a rather awful day for me. The rain didn't help much in bettering my mood. Not at all, actually.
Sorry about the weather c. It has been rainy here too. 50% all day which has meant rain and sun every other hour. Hard to plan anything.
I just found your blog and thought I'd leave a quick comment. I lost my son, Seth, at 34 weeks to an umbilical cord accident. He died last November.
Fly lady!! did you shine your sink and wear shoes??? My house is constantly in a CHAOS state.
Sorry the weekend was craptastic :(
