Perspective
I was feeling really down today - I'm sure mostly because the weather is really dreary today. I woke up this morning in a lot of pain - my stomach was hurting really bad, bad enough that I threw up - I'm sure it's because I was lax on my diet this weekend, but I've never had this big of a reaction.
I also ran across a few photos of my father this afternoon...normally that doesn't bother me, but these were really sweet and made me miss him a lot.
Then I got a message from my sister saying that our mom had been fired. She's been having problems at her work for some time, difficult co-workers and even more difficult bosses. It doesn't make any sense to me, because my mother is one of the most decorated (award-wise) people in her entire company. Not only did they fire her, but they didn't give her any reason; and the guy who fired her was standing over her while she was talking to me on the phone and told her to get out of the office. Mind you - they haven't given her any paperwork, or anything - nothing about release forms, cobra or unemployment. I'm confused, and I'm so sad for my mom.
Now all I want to do is go hide in my bedroom with a heating pad and some chicken noodle soup.....call me when everything is ok.
