Hi all, Struggling today. Thinking I can’t possibly get through March let alone the rest of my life! I have had the flu for the last 2 days. I made my daughter’s favorite dinner last night…salmon, sweet potatoes, and green beans. She had a friend over. Today, she is at work. I am taking it easy. Soon I will get ready and take her shopping and then dinner at a pub downtown. I still have the chills and am so tired. I realized today that I never give myself a break, even when I am sick. Still beating myself up. She is staying again tonight. I am thinking that this empty nest thing, like many things in life, is a paradox. So glad to be spending time with my daughter, but so glad to get back to my empty nest, too!
