Why? I'm not really sure, I just am. Been that way for a few days actually. I think it's because it's 10 days into the new year and I'm as behind and overwhelmed as always. This was going to be the year I didn't feel like this any more, dangit! The kitchen sink overflowed over the weekend. Had to take everything out from under. It's all still sitting in the kitchen and dining area. Christmas decorations are down, but all the big plastic totes are in the living room, too. I have 4 loads of sorted dirty laundry on my bedroom floor. Blah, blah, blah. When Colby goes to school on Thursday, my butt is staying home to get this place shaped up a little. Went to see the radiology oncologist today. That sucked, as I knew it would. But as they say, this too shall pass. Tomorrow is another day. It'll get better (hopefully). Actually I don't know about that. I think it's supposed to be pouring rain in the morning, and you all know how much I love getting Colby loaded on the school bus in the rain. Ah yes, good times running amuck around here.
But all in all, you know me, always the optimist. I do have good things to talk about, too. I've picked up some extra hours working at the hospital. That's always good on the wallet. I finally went and bought that Keuring single-serve coffee maker I've been wanting for 2 years. Did I NEED it? No. Did I WANT it? Yes. So by golly I bought it and I don't feel guilty about it one bit. Okay, maybe a little guilty but too late now, I aint' taking it back, haha! Don't be thinking that just because I don't blog about my daily thankfulness, that I've forgotten about it. I know I have much to be thankful for in spite of being kind of pissy the last few days. I couldn't be happier with Colby's new nurse. She is very good with him and is reliable, easy to work with and very sweet. One door closes, another one opens I suppose. And really, what does it matter that I have Christmas boxes in the floor and my tub is dirty? Do you care? Do you think less of me as a person if my apartment is junky right now? Probably not. If you do care, then you're probably not really someone I need to be having over here anyways.
I do have a couple Colby eye gaze stories to share. Over the weekend, he was up in his chair using his eye gaze system and I was taking ornaments off the tree. I heard him say "very good". I went over, kissed him on the forehead and told him yes, he was doing very good on his eye gaze. Without missing a beat, he looked at his eye gaze and said "thank". I just know he was telling me thanks or thank you. OMGosh, I lost it. Had to leave the room I was crying so hard. So impressed. So proud. So thankful. Do you know how long I've waited to have Colby respond back to something I've said to him? A long damn time. Today in school he got really ticked because he kept choosing the TV remote page, then his speech therapist kept telling him no, Colby, it's not time to watch TV. It's time to work at school, not watch Spongebob. Well, I don't think he liked that much. He looked at his eye gaze and said "enough computer". That's my stinker! Can't wait for more of his personality to come through as he learns more on the eye gaze. My guess he's full of P and V, much like his mama!
Better wrap this up. It's getting late and I have a new coffee pot to hook up before going to bed. Yeah, baby!
