six new truths
1. I have learned that I cannot (always) control how my body reacts/adjusts to situations.
2. For the first time in at least five years, my sleep pattern has changed. I'm not happy about this either.
3. My allergies are much better at the office.
4. And, speaking of allergies, I am now officially allergic to mussels - which doesn't matter as I do not care for them.
5. I do not like Mother's Day.
That last one is unfortunate as my mother (and K's mother) deserve all the praise and love in the world. My mom has never been anything but giving and loving to me and I feel ungrateful not celebrating her today but my heart is not in it. And I don't want to be celebrated either - it just seems silly to me.
I've been a good daughter(and in-law) for a very long time and done my best to fete both of these wonderful women and it's sad, too, because I'm not sure who else in our circle of siblings makes the day lovely for our moms but I've decided not to. And not doing it because I don't like it may not be a valid excuse, but there you are. I could go on and on but I'll stop.
6. I love you every day, Mom.

Flowers however, are always lovely.
A phone call to my own mother will suffice.
