Out of Sorts
Today I am grateful for health insurance, antibiotics, safe travels, and a quiet house.
I wish my mind were quiet. I am feeling out of sorts, and so is my mind. Darcy has been sicker than I have ever seen him in the years we have been together. A virus that then led to some sort of infection is the likely culprit. We have had a very busy and draining last few weeks, so his defenses were probably down.
It leaves me feeling out of sorts because it is not the usual routine. Plans had to be adjusted and actions needed to be taken. We missed time with my family and our niece's graduation party. I would like to think I adjust to change and unmanageables better than I used to, but it's still an adjustment.
I am trying to keep it all in perspective. Darcy is feeling better and this appears to be running its course. Some others deal with chronic and terminal health issues. It makes me appreciate health and each day we get. I don't want to take either for granted. It makes me appreciate my husband and the love I have for him. I don't want to take either of those for granted.
I am out of sorts also because I am feeling a little crummy myself and I am taking a sick day from work. I have many sick days built up and I certainly don't abuse them. But part of my overactive, not quiet mind right now has to do with work and what I could/should be doing. Put it away Lisa. It's just a job. A little self-care can go a long way.
One thing I am not feeling out of sorts about is that I am happy to wish my "baby" brother Lee a Happy 45th Birthday! I remember when they brought Lee home from the hospital on a rainy May day all those years ago. Enjoy your day Lee! More birthdays please! For Lee and for each of us.
Just for today I will live the life I have. Out of sorts or not.
