Midnight oil

It's one minute to midnight and here I am. Why am I not in bed. Oh yeah, I had a two hour nap today, that's why.
I seldom nap and never sleep two hours. I haven't felt well all day and didn't sleep good last night, so I just lay on the couch and out I went.
Our grandson's here for the week before he starts back to school. My husband bought a little refrigerator for the "love shack" lol out back and we sat out there for a while this evening.
I had a surgical procedure last week, I had a tooth pulled this week and a bone graft inserted (now on antibiotics for possible infection), my shoulders are still killing me (waiting for an appt for an MRI), and I just feel terrible.
There, I'm through complaining. So much to thank God for. He blesses me so much more than I could ever deserve.
Do you complain much? I guess we all do at times, but I really would rather think of myself as a non-complainer. I just fall off the wagon, sometimes.

It does make up stop and count our blessings, doesn't it?

Seems like you've been going through a lot so you earned the right to complain

You've had a lot on your plate this past week. Pain makes one a little grumpy, so not to worry, it's only when you complain and you feel fine that it's an issue. Hope next week goes better!

Thanks, Jeanne. I don't feel as sick, but I just get discouraged when everything I do hurts my shoulders. Not being able to sleep well because I can't get comfortable makes me grouchy, lol.

I think it's natural to complain, esp. when we aren't feeling well. It sounds like you keep it in perspective though :-) I hope you are feeling better, too btw

Painful things happen to all of us and at times it helps to talk about them. That's not complaining, it's needing to get things off your mind.
I hope you feel better soon, I'm so sorry for all you have been going through. I will be praying for God's healing for you!

I would be mad as hell more than complaining if I had gone through all of That! I complain most of the time but only says it to myself.

It does help, though, when we can complain a little to a friendly listener.

Yes I complain but not as much as I used to, seems like when I voice the pain it makes it real and it gets worst.

That's interesting. I wonder if it's because when we voice it, it seems to magnify it.
