It's blurry - What does today, Dec 18, 2019, mean to me?
Wednesday - December 18, 2019
It might be hard to believe but I can hardly remember what I did yesterday.
Did I wake up at 4 am? I did and probably earlier. To be honest I feel miserble if I do nd each morning again I am so grateful I am single.
I am getting more and more dehydrated and while I am still in bed I need to "wet my eyes" (not my bed so disposable diapers are not needed) and I need a high amount of petroleum jelly for my face, nose, ears and I skip the rest.
Next, I sit and try to encourage myself to get out of bed and it is time for my dehydrated feet. More petroleum jelly to try to avoid fissures and wounds in my feet. As long as I remember I have them at times. Already as a kid and its no fun to walk on feet like these.
First I drove the bus-kid to the bus stop and I was back home at 6:05 am at 6:45 am I left again. This time I drove the youngest to school. I use extra gasoline but I can no longer sit in a cold car for an hour till school starts. I cannot stand these rediculous times made by the teachers. Most children live in the country.
In the afternoon it was the same story. Driving twice up and down and the only thing I want is staying in bed! I think I earned that by now, after being a mom for 35 years but... the end is not near. 😫
Back to the diapers... I washed and fold more diapers as you can imagine. My children were premature and I had a great, elderly help with my first who told me how to fold a very tiny fitting diaper. I can still do it and fold many for my eldest kid but I doubt they are ever used. These days disposable is easier and easy does it no matter how much it costs or how the mountain of garbage increases.
Like usually I spent a lot of time answering, commenting but... I watched a film "Rattlesnake", partly in the car while waiting for the bus-kid and the end (20 minutes) we watched together before we drove home.
I posted
- Painful experience
A freewrite - pains feel pain too so if you are vegetarian or vega do not say you hate to hurt a living being. - Catching up - Commentcoin update
I noticed two things if it comes to commentcoin:
- In the past days the commentcoin is hardly activated.
- You need 80 Commentcoin to activate the tag/bot.
- The most beloved gift / Das liebste Geschenk..
The #wednesdayquickie still runs and you get rewarded for it.
Anyone still posting via steemit.com only?
I noticed if you use a tag in your text, like I just did, it is automatically added to your tags.
I wonder if you ever wonder how people who do not celebrate Christmas experience this part of the year.
True, I have a tree but that is it. There is no way to church or Santa nor presents (but I bought walnuts and a magazine about science for the bus-kid and about history for the youngest and me). We will watch films and I look forward to that, an ordinary day left in peace. I know to many it is a miserable day and they hope it will be over soon.
If you like to freewrite see @mariannewest for the daily prompt. Happy writing.

Here, the Jewish tradition was to go eat Chinese and go to the movies at Christmas since most everything else was closed. But now, most stores are open and there are many groups that do not celebrate Christmas. In the end, it is a secular holiday - families come together and eat lots of food and spend lots of money on presents. And if we really dig deep, it is the celebration of the solstice appropriated by the church.
btw. a lot of fundamental Christians do not do Christmas since they know that Jesus wasn't born in December...
Saludos, que mal que tengas tantos dolores en tus pies. Espero que pases esta navidad lo mejor posible con tus bellos hijos. Yo me voy por una semana. Regreso después de navidad. Si Dios me permite. Un abrazo navideño amiga @wakeupkitty.
