Is this what it's like?

I'm so whiny lately. I'm sure my husband thinks his wife turned in to a grumpy, arthritic 80-year-old overnight. I'm starting to think that some of this is just what happens when you get older.

I had a cold for what felt like a million days (whine), then decided to sort of jump back into working out (hurts, whine), now hurt my back working out (whine) and my ears never stop popping and I'm convinced I have Menieres disease (hypochondriac, whine).

Pffftttttttttt. Sigh.

I'm pretty sure it's just me projecting stress into my body. And into the house. I'm obsessive-compulsing out. Tim's being such a trooper. Crumbs on the counter (silent whine), dish cloth left in a gross, soggy pile in the bottom of the sink (passive aggressive whine to the husband), couch pillows on the floor (whine to myself), mountain of laundry that seems to regenerate itself  on the floor of the bedroom (whine at the husband). It's good that we don't have little people to care for, or I might spontaneously combust.

Commence retail therapy today. I travel east for work next week and I have to be on my A game. And if not that, at least look like I have an A game. Time to zen out, enjoy the sun and 50-degree weather. It's starting to turn spring around here and I love the changing seasons.

Little things that I enjoyed this week (anti-whine):
Sunny Friday afternoon, enjoying a TGIF beer with Tim, then dinner with my brother and his girlfriend.... and then later at night, Tim saying that he's grateful that we'll get to share simple fun like that for the rest of our lives.
Getting to see the passion and talent of my team at work. Makes all the stress worth it.
Thursday night pasta and horror movie.
Catching whiffs of my new perfume all day and feeling classy because of it, even if I feel like a mess otherwise.
(This hasn't happened yet, but I know it would go on this list) Lazy Sunday afternoon with my mom and sister.

Cheers!
