I DON'T WANNA ...

Today I am in a ...bad mood. There are other words to describe it. I don't wanna: 1) get out of bed, 2) learn the metric system...I tell the guy I want a pound of bacon and he looks at me like I'm crazy...3) I go to get a shower curtain the other day, I need 7 feet 3 inches minimum...I don't wanna think metric and translate numbers...4) I don't wanna get on the treadmill to see how many kilometers I've walked, 5) figure out how many rupees to the dollar and put the 15 percent gratuity on it and figure out this money system, 6) I don't wanna. Why can't everything just be the NORMAL AMERICAN WAY.... Duhh Marsha...get over it, you are in India.
Bri wailed all day long about going home. She is so depressed. I know she just needs to meet other kids. We've been watching a lot of movies. I am thankful that my DVD player works without exploding. I joined the Overseas Women's Club, and I think once Bri is in school, she will be fine. I met a young girl at the OWC meeting who asked if Ashley could come visit her, so I sent Ashley out today. She had a great time. Yeah, we all need to get out of this house. John's England trip got cancelled. I think he didn't really want to go anyway. Then I started having problems with the travel agent on our trip to Egypt.. THANK YOU STEPHANIE FOR GETTING ME THROUGH THAT HURDLE. What next?
Our food shipment arrived today, all 18 boxes. The kids dove straight into the Little Debbie's and corn curls. Bri and Ash went through that box of Captain Crunch like nobody's business. I miss my family. THANKS MELVOY for getting the special foods/meds to us. I've been waking up at night having anxiety attacks. I probably need to up my thyroid dosage. I've been putting off getting another blood test run, and maybe I will in a few months. Sometimes it's better not knowing stuff, you just worry and panic and end up sitting in doctor's offices while they run a bunch more tests...and all that worry usually is for nothing. I guess life is what it is. I know what to do, it is just "doing it". God has been very good to me, I just need to focus on the good. We are so blessed, just looking at so many destitute around me focuses me. I am trying to live each day like it were my last, that's the best mindset. Do the best I can today.
I feel better already. I think I will meditate on some scriptures and head to bed soon. If I could just get this crazy Vonage up here, I'd be okay. I need to hear some people's voices. I miss you all.
