Feeling Better, Thank God

I'm exhausted! I think I got an extra spicy sub yesterday for dinner because I had the worst case of heartburn I've ever had in my entire life! I went to bed and tried to ignor it by playing Scrabble on my Ipad, but I had to text Dobrila to come and give me something for the pain.

I still had trouble sleeping because I kept thinking about this one friend of mine who had two strokes due to having his escophagus collapsed twice. It was because he kept eating spicy food and getting bad heartburn. I finally got my mind to shut up and go to sleep!

In the morning, I still had heartburn but not as bad, so I took two Tums. That problem went away, but then I had stomach pains and had to keep dashing to the bathroom.

I'm all better now, but very tired. I'm going to watch Fringe and go to bed!

Curse you yummy jalapenos!

Feeling Better

I feel better today.  The computer virus is no more - thank god!  I had a nice day with Sarah; I hadn't seen her in over two weeks because of the Christmas holidays.

I had an invigorating hot shower, got dressed, went to the bank, shopped at the health food store, bought groceries from Metro for dinner.  And, during dinner, I showed Sarah the latest episodes of Coronation St.

It would have been a perfect day, except for one thing.  One of my employees wrote an email saying that she was frustrated because she couldn't find anyone to take her three hour shift on Sunday.   To help her out, I told her I'd be fine by myself, just painting for awhile.

And then it hit me.  Sunday was my anniversary.  Bloody hell!  Once again, "Time After Time" came into my head and I began to cry because I missed Rob terribly.  However, I didn't cry for long.  I went on YouTube and played my "Anne Rocks Out" playlist and felt happy again.

On Sunday, I'll go to our favourite restaurant, toast to Rob's memory, and try to only focus on the positive fact that I was so damned lucky to have him in my life for as long as I did.

And then I'll come home and paint.
