At one point I had composed a long post "Recovery Work Does Not Include Pine-Sol", but never posted it.
I'm glad one of you is resting.

Yesterday, I got a massage and a pedicure. I have beautiful, festive feet now.

I hope all is going well.
Feeling conflicted is ok. Recognizing it and working through it is what helps get us un-conflicted.
I need to clean tomorrow.......could sure use some help
gentle hugs

I am pooped, completely exhausted. My husband was up and down all night. Although, he attempted to be quiet, I was still very aware of his restlessness.
He is taking far less pain medication then the Dr. prescribed and says today will be his last day on any. He claims to be less concerned with the mental withdrawals, believes he can deal with those but is very concerned about any physical withdrawals. Two friends called him already this morning and said they would pick him up for a meeting tonight, "pain or no pain, get to a meeting." He agreed!!
Anyway, I am going back to bed. We are going to watch a movie in bed this afternoon and take it easy. More then likely, I will be back up in an hour. Doesn't matter, I am doing nothing all day...but relax, read and take care of my needs too. Ha, I already let him make me a cup of coffee this morning and he is making croissants as I type this.

I can't believe it. I still haven't found his pills. I know he doesn't have them either. I am known for hiding things and forgetting (including money) where I hid them.
Must be a great hiding place, because I can't find them anywhere. (I was still half asleep when I put them somewhere).
I keep telling him it must be some kind of divine intervention.
He had 7 screws and a plate put in but is really pretty good. I just hope I can find his medication before long. ughhhhhhhh

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! I want to scream!! I just need to vent. I still can not find the pills. I KNOW he doesn't have them. I put them somewhere when I was still half asleep, I just can't remember where.
This is trigging old feelings of when my son would steal things and I would look for days for it, as he helped, all while knowing he stole it.
I feel obsessed looking for them, I am driving myself crazy, I feel like an addict looking for drugs.
My husband was a little annoyed at first, but know is laughing. He is in so much pain and I can not find his pills. I am glad he went to a meeting so I can have some alone time. I guess this is why I should never have been in charge of them to begin with. Now I have a bottle of pain pills SOMEWHERE in my house.
But this is really not about the pills, I just hate when I lose something and I can not find it....my car keys, my ATM card, my wallet. I am a smoker too and I can never find my lighter. WTH???
Seriously, does anyone else ever do this?? Somebody help me feel sane again, lol!!
The good news is I found $200, that I had forgot about.
