This is the fourth attempt at beginning this post. Not much is going on, but I feel the need to reach out and say hello. I guess I need the contact today. I need to know that the world exists outside of my own personal space.
I didn't sleep well last night, and that's a huge part of the problem. Three hours of sleep is not enough to keep Mimi happy and perky. One of the medications I take has the unfortunate side effect of insomnia. Some nights I do alright, but last night, I sat playing Mahjong in the dark for a long time.
So far I've done the sum total of nothing. I feel uninspired, bored and boring. And I want chocolate. I think there are some Oreos hiding out in the kitchen.
I also think part of the problem is spending the past 72 long hours in the company of mrMimi. We approach things from two entirely different viewpoints, and it's often frustrating and exhausting. He asked me to help him weed through a bunch of old papers, receipts, and just junk that's been hanging out in the abyss of the bottom desk drawer for years. I don't know why he asked. He said he wanted to throw things out that were no longer needed, but quite frankly, mrMimi has a problem throwing anything away. After watching him agonize over whether to throw away a thirty-year-old life insurance prospectus, I escaped to the kitchen. I just cannot work with him on almost anything. I'm a little down about that today. Some days like today, I really wonder how we've managed to stay married. I also wonder why in the world we stay married.
It's apparent that I am going to be self-indulgent and negative today. I hope your Monday is going better than mine.
