I don’t have a whine today as I just got back from four days in Hawaii, and I can’t bring myself to find anything at all to whine about.
But if you’ve been snow-bound, work-bound, or anything-bound, feel free to get it off your chest here. It is Whiny Wednesday after all.
Everyone must be having a good day. It’s almost 1:00 where I am and no whines yet. My whine is that I have been having terrible anxiety attacks for the past week. I have kept it under control my entire life without medication by doing meditation, yoga, running, and having an inner dialogue with myself. This week nothing has worked. I have had terrible insomnia too. I’m hoping this is just hormonal and that it will eventually pass.
I agree with you Maria, everyone seems to be having a great day. For my part, I learned last week end, that my s.o. 19 years-old niece is pregnant. All my in-laws find this wonderful, despite the fact that she have a lousy job, no career prospect and the father to be still live with his mother. This wont certainly help my strained relationship with my in-laws who never utter a single world, compassionate or otherwise, after my miscarriages and my 3 failed IVFs. I guess I will have to work harder to avoid them, I am already planning a faraway vacation for next Christmas, or start drinking a lot more wine when I see them.
My whine is my husband and I’s anniversary is this weekend and we need to get away but thanks to his job he can’t (or won’t) take off work. He better make it up to me. Hawaii sounds amazing right now as we are preparing for the 5th weekend in a row of snow here in NH! Ugh!
My whine consists of 3 W’s – work, winter, and weather. I’m sure I could think of others, but that’s enough for now!
I have a major whine. My husband’s job has been disestablished. And my self-employed work has all dried up. We’re ok – but this is right at the time when we wanted to be saving for retirement, not spending our savings on living.
I struggle with disability, and have to walk a fine line between being functional, and pushing myself over the edge so it takes a long time to recover. I was mentioning it elsewhere, and saying i want to be positive, but i do “have to live within my reality.”
Someone told me that such thinking will prevent me from healing. I’m so tired of hearing that! I do my best to think positively, but i still have to live within my reality. Just as we all do regarding no children. Reality, not some fairy land where all is rosy. Sigh.
I did have a couple of whines. First: I didn’t have time to post them yesterday. 😉
I think the February blahs are hanging over to March, because I have been feeling tired and sluggish & crabby lately (I do feel better today, though, thankfully!). :p I also feel like I am losing my memory (which has always been sharp)(as opposed to losing my mind?? hahaha….). Tuesday morning, I realized when we got to the train station that I had forgotten to put my shoes in my briefcase (I was wearing my boots because it was so cold). (On the bright side: there is a shoe store just downstairs — and they have a fairly good selection of the wide widths I wear — so I went on my break & bought a new pair of shoes so I didn’t have to wear my boots all day. 😉 ) Coming into the office, I also realized I had forgotten to lock up my desk drawers the night before — and it was reporting time. Now, I didn’t have any of the confidential numbers in any of my files (not that anyone could probably find them in all the junk I have…)… but I am usually very good about locking up, especially during reporting periods, and that kind of unnerved me. 🙁 And then I almost forgot to get a critical project to our VP to look at before she left early for spring break — even though my boss reminded me she was going an hour before. That’s three in one day, yikes. :p 🙁 Guess I am overloaded, or perimenopausal, or maybe a bit of both. :p
Maria, (((hugs))). Anxiety is not fun. 🙁
