Not Complaining

I wanted to write something. I wanted to virtually connect with my virtual buddies. But every time I decided what I wanted to write about I ended up deciding to not write about it after all. This is partially because my goal was to complain less and everything that came to mind sounded like complaining. Like I was going to write about how busy Neil and I have been with the end of the semester and finals for Neil and a dance performance for me. We also both came down with colds because you always get sick when you just don’t have time to be sick. We also had to say goodbye to Neil’s beloved grandfather among studying and dance rehearsals. Last week was a very difficult week but I didn’t want to complain. So I kept mum. I thought if I could just make it through Saturday night, life would be much easier. But then on Sunday, my cold took a turn for the worse and Monday morning I woke up with a lousy eye infection. Then, I also remembered I need to start/finish planning a retirement party for my Dad and a birthday party for Neil this weekend. I thought combining the two would make things easier but it has created far more problems than I anticipated. I recognize that I brought this all on myself, so it leaves absolutely no room for complaining. So at this point I am just looking forward to Saturday night. Unless, I contract yet another illness.
