Lots of chaos going on.

Champion came back with the new financing paperwork. We were approved for most of the cost of the windows, but will have to pay some in cash after the job is done. That's fine. We have it. We have one year same as cash, so we were just going to let the money sit and collect interest anyway.

So we just signed the paperwork to get that going forward. Someone will be out to do the measurements next week.

Also next week - the dishwasher will be taken care of.

Lance ran out to Lowe's and Home Depot since he has an itch right now to take care of the grass...we have moss issues, so he's getting some Moss Out and some grass seed and a spreader.

So I'm here with Reece. Not feeling well. I started getting sick to my stomach after lunch.

I think a part of that is that I'm still crushed about my parents leaving. I was always affected this way too when I would go back to Germany after a visit home, but I think it's worse this time. They came to visit me. I'm not dealing with jetlag. I am the one who was left...not the one doing the leaving. This is harder than I thought it would be and I'm kind of surprised by how I'm feeling. But I'm just very homesick right now.

The other part of not feeling well is undoubtedly from having to go back to work today. I didn't have much catch-up work to do, thankfully. And nothing terribly earth-shattering happened today, which is good. But the day dragged on...or at least the afternoon did. I was going to take a walk at lunch, but I opted instead to spend the lunch hour eating and chatting al fresco with Sigga and Teresa. I needed some cheering up. Sondra came over at one point and asked if I was ok, since I was so quiet. I told her how I was feeling and she brought me some of her chocolate stash.

We had lasagna for dinner, which was probably not a wise idea, considering how I'm feeling. I think a hot shower and some reading time might suit me just now. I would prefer a bath, but unfortunately, I don't have a good soaking tub.

2 things.

1. I remember very well feeling the same way after a visit from Mom and Justin. It is worse when they leave you. You don't have quite as much to do and you get to just sit and feel sad because Mama's gone. It's miserable and I'm very sorry you have to feel this. *hugs*

2. I am a fan of Scott Turf Builder for weak grass. The spreader he's picking up for the grass seed will work for the Turf Builder. It really strengthens the grass and one application makes a world of difference to a weakened lawn.
