I am Utterly Exhausted

amberfocusIt has been such a trying weekend. The second funeral today was lovely, short and sweet. Which was a Godsend considering it was 95 degrees outside. Duane's cemetery plot was under the shade of a gorgeous, huge old maple tree, so thank heavens it was in the shade. I was one of the few people who got a chair, seeing as I still have pneumonia and shouldn't even be up out of bed. Felt like I was going to faint a couple of times. I want this illness to be over. Pneumonia twice in one year is two times too many, even if it is only the walking kind this time. Makes me think I can do more than I can.
I came home after the funeral and the kids and Chris went to the reception. I finally talked Chris into getting an air conditioner for the house yesterday. It's making a huge difference, but it's still hot in all the bedrooms. I think we need one small one in the master bedroom and then one in one of the other three bedrooms. I am moving the air through the house with turbo fans, but it's not enough.
I'm not writing right now. I'm just taking some time off for a few days to try to really sleep and heal. The kids go to my mother's tomorrow for four days and I think it is much needed for everyone. They are driving me and Chris insane and I think we are pretty much returning the favor. I have to be careful not to try to do too much while they are gone. I will want to, because there is so much to do around here that is easier to do kidless. And I know me. I'll try to do it.
I wanted to say thank you to everyone who sent condolences on the deaths of my aunt and grandfather-in-law. They are greatly appreciated. I don't have the energy to answer them individually, but know that I am very grateful for all your kindnesses.
Off now to waste time in bed on Facebook. The evil of which I finally caved into last week to keep in touch with family over funeral arrangements. And now I have two farms, a restaurant, and a pirate ship. Facebook is an evil timewaster, but the games are fun.
