Thanks for you suggestions and reading my blog..I'll look into the NANO.Justlittlecajunmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14994373567431999838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538359437803993093.post-9330254434944089922015-09-20T22:33:15.239-05:002015-09-20T22:33:15.239-05:00Lisa,
Life gets that way for everyone at times - ...Lisa,<br /><br />Life gets that way for everyone at times - in a rut more or less - the same-o same-o, day in and day out. I really don't think there's anyway around that.<br /><br />It does help to do something different once in a while, if the both of you can agree on the thing to do. Yes, I know very well you can't go shopping ALL the time. No one can - unless your rich. And we all know that won't happen to regular people. Maybe you should get a hobby to take up some of your free time and have some variety. I know you said you read. Have you thought about writing? And I mean more than blog posts. You could throw yourself into writing a story using what you know as a theme. Make up characters and places in your story drawing from things in your own life, That should be fairly easy to do. If you're real ambitious, you should enter the NANO, which is held the month of Nov every year. You right daily (at your own pace) and about whatever you want. The goal is to write 50,000 words by the end of the month. It's fun, yet intense, and will keep your mind very busy. There are no losers (even if you don't reach the goal of 50,000). It's just something to think about. I've done it the last three years and will probably do it this year too. Believe me, this will keep you busy enough that you aren't thinking about how boring your days are. They also have boards you can get on and get help with things you're stumped over as you go along. Everyone is very nice.<br /><br />I hope that helps. Life isn't always a picnic, but we have to keep moving forward and smiling until things get better again.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Sunni<br />http://sunni-survivinglife.blogspot.com/Sunnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671891696662548892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538359437803993093.post-38960215913922004422015-09-10T07:23:00.366-05:002015-09-10T07:23:00.366-05:00My Hubby does keep me grounded.

Talking to ...I think you're on the right track. Talking to your husband and your doctor. I also find great comfort in talking to my sisters who are going through the same thing with me. However, sometimes, we want to talk about something else, so it's still good to a source from the outside.<br /><br />Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538359437803993093.post-613096429889333322015-09-09T04:25:47.937-05:002015-09-09T04:25:47.937-05:00Don't get me wrong, we are like two peas in a ...Don't get me wrong, we are like two peas in a pod and I'm generally okay with our life. I did suggest to him that we visit a few areas around time. We do go a matinee sometimes and just going dine out helps.<br /><br />You hit the nail on depression and I was thinking same thing about the let down but couldn't come up with the words. Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful. I do talk to my husband about feelings and I do plan to talk to my doctor about that and other things. Thanks for being my friend.Justlittlecajunmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14994373567431999838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538359437803993093.post-71796189656365463792015-09-08T21:49:33.021-05:002015-09-08T21:49:33.021-05:00My husband works like crazy all the time, and want...My husband works like crazy all the time, and wants to relax when he comes home. (At least when he doesn't have to work from home.) But he is very happy when I plan something to do. It might be seeing a sight in the neighborhood--a local museum or a talk at the library. Or every once in a while, we play a board game or work a puzzle together. Or maybe listen to a book together. That's fun and gives us something to look forward to and talk about. Just doing one thing different can have a big effect.<br /><br />But if I may, when you step back from the big picture, I think you're having a let down from the intense time you've been having with your father. And you sound depressed. And that's an appropriate feeling as you have to deal with aging parents and contemplate all that that means. At least, that's how it is for me. I've been dealing with aging parents for a few years now and it's hard. Very hard. Good luck. I think you will find the mood will lift, or at least go in cycles. In the meantime, I think it never hurts to talk to someone-- a friend or a professional.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538359437803993093.post-71877741951065577392015-09-07T14:54:26.144-05:002015-09-07T14:54:26.144-05:00Sorry you understand what I am feeling.
