Angel Glacier, so named because of the arms that reach out on both sides. 

I am off work all this week which is lovely.  Time to recharge my batteries and tidy up my life.  New counters, sink and taps were installed in the kitchen today.  Tomorrow I hope to get the cracks in my windshield fixed.  I went shopping and bought myself three new tops, something I never seem to have time for anymore.  I have all these things I want to get done to what end I don't know because as soon as one item is crossed off my to do list, another takes it's place.  I'm not sure if I like that.  If I stopped, what would happen?  Nothing really I suppose.  The world would carry on.  Maybe all my doing is my way of avoiding looking at my own mortality. 

My back is killing me and I've had vertigo for a month now.  I've had vertigo since I was around nineteen.  It comes and goes, doesn't usually last for longer than a day or two.  Except this time it's been a fucking month.  When I lay down the room spins so violently I feel nauseous.   When I tilt my head down to look at the floor or tilt my head up to look at the big guy it spins but lasts much longer than when I lay down.  I stagger around like a drunk, clutching at walls and leaning against things.  It's awful.

I miss my friend Shirley.  I miss my mum.  I miss my daughter out in Vancouver.  And Katie keeps attacking me when we're out which hurts my feelings over and over again even though I know it's how she communicates but I have this belief that because I'm her mother she shouldn't be hurting me.  And when she pulls my hair it hurts so much that I start crying and yelling which upsets her even more.  We're quite the pair, the two of us.  Both of us knowing how the other will react and still unable to help ourselves. 

And on the up side.

Watched a very funny movie tonight, The Man from U.N.C.L.E..  Very enjoyable.
New kitchen countertops are installed.
Time off work.
The big guy asked me to marry him.
I said yes.
Get to take our granddaughter to Candy Cane Lane tomorrow night to see all the lights.
Making the big guy laugh.
Time to breathe.


That's all I got.  What are you thankful for today?
