Easter...?

Ok, so I already made a posting today but it vanished somehow. Not even a draft was saved. Whatever.

So today I slept in... no I stayed in bed is more like it. I couldn't decide if I should do any work on Easter Sunday or not. I gave in to temptation. I finished cutting the supports for the wallboard that will cover the old window opening. I got them put in place too. I did battle with a screw here and there that didn't want to sink its teeth into the board but eventually I won out.

It's good that I got that done because I've been a lonesome and depressive today. First major holiday without Mother. No visit with Brother's family either. I ended up calling this evening. The SIL was less than enthused. *sigh* Ok, see I call, she answers I say, "Happy Easter. How are things there?" And she goes, "Anything but happy." So I'm thinking something major happened and then she says it was "Same old thing, different holiday." And I'm thinking "Uhh... holidays mean dead people and ER visits" and she said it was RL problems again. Then I talked at Brother a bit about basically nothing. He gave the phone to the niece a moment and I don't know what she was saying. The call ended soon as the infant barfed on Brother. At least the call got done. Didn't talk to RL because he was in unspecified trouble today. No one said what had happened but the niece wasn't aloud to give him the phone. Anyway the lack of interest in my call was palpable. I had a thought earlier that I now have no family. Wonder where I'd get that idea?

Anyway... I also called neighbor. He seemed glad to get the "Happy Easter" call. His wife was just getting up. It was after 7pm. I know how that goes with stroke patients. It's a dreary situation. He said the hip is feeling better and was going to try forgoing the crutches. He might come over to see how things are coming along tomorrow if he feels up to it. We'll see.

I didn't eat enough yesterday which is probably why my mood was aggressively cynical and depressive. I took some photos today of the work being done and things. I just want to go to bed but it's only 9pm. Now I feel like I ate too much. Whatever. I wasn't really sore today, just a bit stuff. Kitty helped with a massage last night. She's treated me well. She did hide when I got the drill out. Poor thing.

I called Paypal to see if I could stop from paying ebay twice for seller fees but I have to ask ebay to refund instead. They really do force you to use that online chat thing to get ebay help. It's strange and the "t" key wasn't working in their chat window so I sent email instead because they were experiencing a large volume of help requests. Whatever. I have a slight headache tonight. Wonder if I can sneak a nap without the cat sitting on my chest. I wish Mother had been here today. Even a short time. Oh well. Tomorrow a new work week begins, I need to figure what I'll do with myself. The wallboard project will probably be on hold until Brother can appear again because I only got the standard equipment of two arms!
