Quick update. The war with my body continues. Now my teeth hurt when I have food or liquid in my mouth (not the jaw, the teeth although the jaw is sore too.) And my period (the drop-a-day version) returned after being away for only 8 days. Sigh...
As for mood, I'm recovering from having my sister here. I really deserve a gold star. Dh just goes into another room to avoid her (although the one time they were home alone together, he sat in the same room but read.) For me, it is a love/hate relationship. I love her because she is my sister, she is the only one in the world who remembers my parents the way I did, and because she loves me for the same reasons. I hate almost everything else about her. There is the competition (she has to be better at doing things or suffering things worse than anyone else.) She is completely negative. She is conceited and everything is about her. Having her know three people at my licensing and them making a fuss over seeing her again bugged me because that was supposed to be my moment.
At this point, I'm still having flashbacks to comments she made. It will get better again. This is the longest we've spent together since my dad died and she stayed up here while we were closing the house. That was 8 years ago.
It is telling, that her wife, who works still (my sister is retired) wanted my sister to be gone for the long weekend because she wanted the house to herself. As I've said before, I'm sure that marriage will not last.
