I resort to lists too often. Today is my first day in the house by myself for the full day, as DH started his new job this past Friday (and #2 is half days on Monday and I work on Tuesdays). I made a big list and only have one significant entry left to accomplish. Yay me! Yay lists!

Still, there are always more brief disjointed comments I can jot down about what’s going on with me:

I will be glad when my hormones settle down again. I’m crying over everything. Of course, some might argue I have stuff to cry about but this really isn’t normal for me even when I’m upset. I cry when I’m *really* upset, but not on the phone with the pharmicist or when I’m buying groceries. This is stupid.
