Grumble, grumble…

I’m feeling a bit crotchety right now so hopefully this doesn’t turn into a rambling rant.

Since my friend died in early May, there have been some issues that have caused a lot of stress and anxiety. I won’t go into that here except to say that certain things haven’t gone as they were supposed to go and it’s led to considerable frustration in some areas. It’s something that sometimes keeps me awake at night and over the past several days it has caused more anxiety than usual. A couple of things did happen today that have reduced some of the anxiety which was something of a relief.

Another friend of ours has also been mostly out of touch for several weeks following a bad case of the flu in August. Fortunately I was able to talk to her on the phone a few days ago and discovered she’s still quite ill, possibly with pneumonia. I was worried for her well-being at this point due to her absence from a couple of places where we see each other. Although she is still unwell, I no longer feel anxious on her behalf.

I was just starting to feel a lot better when I received yet another of many emails containing untruths about President Obama. All have been from the same person and I have asked in the past for them to be stopped. For years I would just ignore them. This year I had had enough so started researching and discovering the untruths and would forward this information back to the sender. I have asked that if something negative is going to be sent, make sure it is true…but this is not what is happening. I had started to ignore the emails again…Actually I would read them, then delete without response. Today I have put a stop to any further discussion regarding politics as there is no chance of either party being swayed in thinking. I hope the message gets through because these emails also cause me a lot of stress and anxiety…

I seem to be quite susceptible to the anxiety bug lately. :(

That’s the end of my grumbling. I will try to post something totally different tonight or tomorrow.
