Feeling Like Toast

On my facebook status: "Dear Lord, Please take me out of the fire. I'm done."
Second status: "According to WebMD, my symptoms mean I died 3 years ago."

Yup. I'm sick. Well, on top of my normal daily joy, I've contacted a cold. I feel awful. Waiting for my darling hubby to bring lunch home and I will go back to bed.

Now we see what happens to people without immune systems when they get sick. Here's hoping it's not THAT bad.

Overwhelmed

Seems to be the feeling of the day. Or week. Or month. Actually, lately, life!

Gosh. When did I become so incapable of managing life? Stress? Relationships? Everything around me seems to be going to he!! in a handbasket, and here I am, all unaware. I'm so tired. I'm tired of being tired. I'm sick of being sick. I'm OVER being overwhelmed. (Like that? Me too....I'm proud of myself.)

This damn disease has already taken so much from me. I know there are reasons. I get that. But let me tell you, there are days when that just. doesn't. matter. I'm weak, I'm tired, and none of my responsibilities ever go away. I have zero energy today. I just don't care. It doesn't matter if I don't feel good. I still have a child to take care of, and things that need to get done. I can't just curl up in a ball and let the world go on its merry way. (Trust me, I've tried).

It's a good thing it's simply not in my chemistry to give up, because I would have by now, a thousand times over.
