Monday Veered Off Plan
I got stuff done, just not what I wanted first.
Some days are like that.
‘s kewl… No biggie. 
Now my head is more clear, and more leaves fell yesterday anyway.
I will try and be outside today. Our sunny day forecast got cut short, so I’ll be attempting to corral some leaves before they get thicker and harder to rake. My shoulder is giving me some protest again, and my right hand is beginning to gnarl when I try to make a fist. Both hands are very stiff lately.
Gettin’ older, ain’t for wimps.
On my monitor this font looks deep gold…..
My favorite quote lately:
“I don’t like to be afraid, it makes me angry.”
Craig Ferguson on The View, 9/22/2009
He talked about taking flying/piloting lessons because he was so afraid to fly. Confronted the fear.
I’ve been trying to confront and overcome fears since I turned 40.
Being afraid, made me – tired.
And made me feel pathetic about myself.
I don’t have too many fears left. The ones I know I have/had anyway. Right now, the one fear I have yet to deal with? Pearls. That I will hurt my husband in the process of setting boundaries with his family. But even that is waning in favor of ‘I don’t care anymore, just back off’ where they’re concerned. But I’m still not sure-footed about it.
Fear – the total energy sucker.

I think we all have some fears Weeble....it's part of our self defense mechanism. Keeps us from running head long into burning buildings! But I get what you're saying. Dealing with Pearls might very well hurt hubby, you don't KNOW, so that creates the fear! You don't want to hurt anyone...or be misunderstood. And if you feel you are misunderstood, it makes you angry! I think I understand exactly what Craig was talking about and why you related to what he said!
People tell me that half of the things we fear will happen, never do. Well, that's hogwash! Yes they do. They happen exactly the way I feared they would! Anxiety isn't all based on nothing....somethings need to be feared, and some things, we just over-react to and make ourselves crazy! The good ole serenity prayer fits in nicely here!!
Someday you may feel sure-footed about setting boundaries with Pearls, but until then...put your Muffin in the driver's seat and don't let the fear monster suck anymore energy outta you! OK?.......
Wuv the Weebs!

Oh I SO agree that fear is a total energy sucker! Absolutely the perfect way to put it! Stupid fear! I'm working on fears too, or have been for years, got a ways to go but have come a ways too...so that's good! Stupid pearls, I understand hon, I really do! I say the pearls are fun suckers!!
Good luck with the leaves, hope your shoulder and hands hold out! LOL I love what you said about growing old ain't for wimps!! LOL SO TRUE! Add CFIDS and Fibro to the mix and that makes it even harder! UGH! But no one said life would be easy right? Dang it! :-)
Jump in those leaves when you're done and feel young again, that can only help! (Just hope someone's there to help you back out)lol
Happy Day Weebsy!! Love and big hugs

Good Luck with the raking. You're a stronger woman than I am!
The only thing to fear is fear itself. You fight it, girlie!! *HUGS*

I saw that on The View too. It was good. Another one of my favorite quotes is from a movie (can't remember the name, Bounce, I think) is..."It's not brave, if you're not scared." Much love and many hugs Weeble!
