I'm not complaining but..

 

I feel like something that the dog dragged in - physically, mentally and emotionally.  I have had flu for the past week and despite my best efforts, it will not go away.  I am feeling a lot better, but not 100%.  

 

I suppose it just has to run it's course, but in the meantime my husband had been a rude, bombastic sourpuss! Not something or someone that one wants around when one already feels like one has been beaten to a pulp with a baseball bat!  His credibility is rapidly running out with me! It is a real challenge to keep his happiness tank topped up.  The more I do Tools and the more positive I feel the worse he seems to become.  How does one take Grumpy along for the journey? 

 

The upside of the past week is that I have not been to work, therefore have not had to participate in that circus, although they have tried to drag me in.

 

I have been feeling quite sorry for myself and have been working really hard not to fall down that black hole!  Self pity is not an admirable trait I know, but some days it is really tough to keep the old head above the waves!

It's Okay!

It sucks to be sick and have to "baby" someone who should be more worried about how you're feeling! Sadly, you can't take "grumpy" along for the ride. Nor is it something you CAN do! You can't make him happy, only HE can do that - the same as he can't make YOU happy!

 

I hope you feel better soon! Put your feet up and take care of yourself. Tell grumpy he'll just have to look after himself until you get better. Perhaps you aren't cuz you're too busy stressing yourself over him? Oh yah, and if you can get yourself something called Immuno Detox Prime, get it! It's a great herbal suppliment that will have you feeling better sooner.

Life's wake-up calls

Sickness is a sign that our bodies are out of whack.  Perhaps a little more tenderness towards it is required.

 

As for "Grumpy" - I don't think you really want him coming on your ride if that is the way you see him.  I would persever with Tools and just ignore him for the time being.  You will probably find that as Tools helps you re-focus that he will either like the improvement (and perhaps even tone down a bit) or it may be a realisation that he is not as you desire anymore!

 

Get better soon! Vitamin C, Immune drugs as well!

 

Have a great day! Angie

You need lots of TLC, rest, and lots of liquids, as well as everything everyone else has prescribed here.

As for grumpy, sometimes if we are sick we see things more negatively than usual.

I know last time I was sick (I had pneumonia for about 8 weeks this past winter), I went to work every day (they insisted. I have since quit, thank you.), and my husband questioned my finally seeing a doctor six weeks in because he said "you're not THAT sick".

Take care of you.

Hope you get better soon.
