So today has been spent recovering for the most part, lol. Honestly I got lucky and wasn't hungover. Beyond my killer headache from last night, before going to bed, that's all I've had to deal with in so far as feeling yucky and that was gone when I woke up today. It was a wake up call that I need to get my butt in gear as far as getting healthy. That headache was a result of drinking and high blood pressure. If I were more on top of things, hadn't been drinking, and had not gained back weight, it wouldn't have been so bad.
Beyond that, our only goals for today were simply to get the laundry done and vacuum and those things are accomplished. Now it's almost 7pm, and it feels like I've only been awake for a couple of hours. Ah well, a good day of just nothing never hurt anybody so I'm not complaining. We're watching Secret Window now too, so I'm enjoying that.
The other thing we're dealing with is my SIL. I don't know the details but apparently she's had enough of her crappy relationship with The Thing (her husband) and wants to call it quits. However, before she does that, a bedroom at the farm needs to be cleaned out so she can move three cribs into it so she and the kids can move back in to the farm. I was surprised to find that neither my MIL or FIL really want her to move back in. They don't feel like they can tell her no, but they don't really want her there with all the kids.
They're older, have health issues, and are finally enjoying having an empty house where they can relax and not be bombarded by kids or random people all the time. Apparently in relation to that, that's one of the things that sparked the most recent disagreement between my SIL & The Thing. The Thing told my FIL he was getting my nephew a gun for his b-day, so he was going to take him out hunting with him this weekend to let him get used to sitting, being quiet, what to look/listen for, etc. before he even had to worry about a gun. My FIL told him 'Fine, but I better not get woke up in the morning or I'll be pissed.' Fair enough really, but apparently The Thing took it all personal.
I don't know the true link of events between that and my SIL & he arguing though, but she is ready to get out of dodge and is waiting til she knows she has someplace to go before calling the final act. So it's looking like tomorrow we get to spend the day clearing out a room, which sucks because I can think of a bunch of other things I'd rather do, such as going to buy new books with my gift card that I have not yet touched! Besides tomorrow being inconvenienced, her moving in would really make a bigger inconvenience.
How's she going to get my nephew to school? Guess how often I'm going to have to see her. Guess how often we'll be enamored with children, living right across the street. There will be a couple of friends who won't be able to come around because of reasons I'm not going to explain. Plans will be out the window because she and her kids will make everybody want to go somewhere else (that's usually one of the top questions 'SIL isn't supposed to be there, is she?'). It's going to be one huge mess.
Don't get me wrong, if it's for the best for my nieces and nephews fine, I'll deal with it ... but I'd like to know what's really going on to know that it is for the best and it's not some overreaction that's going to drag everybody into it (which it will if she moves back in to the farm) when it doesn't need to be that way.
Hey ... first drama of 2011. Could have done without it.
One more reason having limited family to deal with is a good thing.
