Evening Out

Saturday was a     day

Overall, Saturday was a pretty good day, especially comparing it to Friday. I only had to leave the house to go work out, and then to dinner, and that was nice.

Of course, they chose Red Lobster (sister #2 is big into seafood) over near where sister #1 and mom live. It was almost an hour drive for me, and it really sucked coming back. By that time, I had a full belly and wanted to just relax and let Husband drive home. The problem with that is Husband wasn’t there. I tried using my new sunglasses with the yellowish tint, and I have mixed feelings about them. They definitely block out all that extra glare from headlights, but it makes everything else slightly darker. I don’t know what I prefer, but starting to lean towards wearing them.

When I got home with the kids, I stripped down right away and got into jammies, washed the make-up off my face, and lay down in bed. Daughter had been acting funny all the way home talking about being scared of the dark and needing someone next to her in bed to make her feel better. It just went on and on, and seems like it may become an issue we will have to deal with firmly, soon. When I got into bed, the girl crawled in with me and we snuggled for a little while, and it was nice, she got what she needed, and I got a good feeling and was cozy. Daughter admitted that she tries to climb into our bed most nights when she wakes and uses afraid of the dark excuse. I don’t believe for a second the reason she comes to see us is a fear of the dark, she has a full sized lamp that sits right next to her head, and it is on all night, every night.

I can say generally, the anxiety was tolerable, and depression slipped in for a little while. I was at the usual elevation level of ups and downs, none too severe, but not able to ignore the fact that there were issues.
