trudging ever onwards
Jan. 27th, 2020 04:09 pmSurvived the trip. Six days all told, four of those spent getting there and back again in a car. My nieces held up pretty well, thanks in part to tablets and portable DVD players. We were still packed super tight in the rental car, though, and by the end I just wanted to be home again.
Funeral went well. No overt drama or anything. The military honors were very moving. I didn't really cry at the small service at the funeral home, but I did at the cemetery. That might just be because they played Taps, which honestly gets me every damn time.
We got home at 2am on Saturday morning/Friday night. I spent the weekend being lazy, which I keep telling myself is Okay. I had a long trip involving Being Around People constantly for six days straight, I deserve some alone time and some downtime.
I have not done a great job getting back into the swing of things today. I had a dentist appointment this morning that went okay? I guess? Though apparently I've got some proto-cavities that I have to start using prescription fluoride to deal with. I also ordered my new glasses today, so that's going to be nice. I'm looking forward to being able to see well again. Like, I can still see with my current glasses, but it feels like things have been getting very slightly fuzzier for the last several months. So yeah. Also I'm glad none of those proto-cavities were Actual Cavities because I have no idea if Medicaid would even cover a filling, and god knows I don't have the cash for it. (Insert grumbling about Kentucky Medicaid and its stupid rules regarding dental and vision here.)
I have a couple other appointments this week: meds provider tomorrow and a haircut on Wednesday. I don't know if I should ask for a medication adjustment tomorrow or not. :\ I feel like I've been slightly down in the dumps for months now (like, since November at least), but I have no idea what we could change to make things better. And this honestly might just be Seasonal Affective Disorder, because I've been grouchy ever since the time change, when it started getting dark at 5pm every day. Ugh.
But anyway.
Really hoping I can get something done with the rest of my today. I'd like to read something at least; I still have a ton of ebooks out from the library that need attending to. Some writing would also be nice, but I'm not exactly holding my breath on that one.
I don't know. What happens, happens, I guess, and I'll just have to live with it. :\
Hope you all are doing well, as always.
