It is hard for me when people tell me to think positively. I did that last week and then a bit of a painful disaster happened. Typical.
Sometimes you just have to accept that things suck right now. You focus on the things that don't suck and hope that you make it through this hellish cycle alive and sane.
I know people want me to be happy but if I said I was, I would be a liar. I am miserable and have nothing positive to say, hence, no blog posts. I do not want to obsess over the negative but I am not going to try and radiate false sunshine while life is pretty impossible.
You know how I have a hard time getting a big grocery shop in February because of our accident? We finally went and spend a small fortune on food yesterday. We had next to nothing to eat because getting out of the house has been downright impossible, with the crazy Arctic winds literally knocking me back inside my house. We came home, put food away and the power went out. For hours... The entire time I just seethed. So typical!
Thankfully it was only out for four hours so the food will be fine but our house was cold and sad. I will not accept that! My house is the only sanctuary we have! I hope we never lose power again.
So I continue to hibernate. Now I have enough food to last us at least two weeks. There is very little reason to step outside.
February in Nova Scotia is the worst! Absolutely the worst month of the year. I hate it and can't wait for it to be over. Now excuse me, I have chocolate cookies to bake...

Mmmmm, chocolate cookies. I could use one right about now too.
Don't you have a generator Suzie?
We live in the bush and lose power constantly but we do have a generator which keeps are furnace and fridge and freezer going.
Just a thought...
BTW, I love the colour in the photo above. Did you take it? It's gorgeous!!
Nothing like chocolate cookies eh Debra? Amelia, no, no generator but we have propane fireplaces. It got cold in the house pretty fast though, been super freezing here. If we lived in the bush we would have to have a generator but we're in the burbs. Next move will be to the city I think. Thank you, yes, it is my photo of the little river that runs through our hood.
I know people mean well when they tell us to think positively, but sometimes we can't help but feel miserable.
That's usually when I keep it to myself because on top of feeling like poo, I feel guilty because I'm not going around spreading rose pedals.
I say, do you Suzie San! Feel what you're feeling and try to make yourself as comfortable as you can while doing it! :)
Thanks Genie Sea, you totally rock and get it. I hope we are both feeling a little less crappy soon!
We are half way through, February. Rev up that stove, bake cookies and do whatever you can to get through this.
