What mother with an infant does? It&#8217;s a temporary disability, the compensations for which are my lovely daughter and her precious smiles.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m tired of my job, but though I&#8217;m in a job-hating phase now, I know that at some point in the future I&#8217;ll be thrilled with my work once again. As they say, it&#8217;s only work if you&#8217;d rather be doing something else. By that logic, I don&#8217;t work very much, and for that I&#8217;m grateful.<\/li>\n<li>My house isn&#8217;t finished. It&#8217;s not in a bad state, though. All rooms but one are livable, and with some effort we could finish the interior by the end of the year. It won&#8217;t happen. But it <em>could<\/em> happen, and that&#8217;s a nice thought.<\/li>\n<li>I haven&#8217;t been getting enough exercise, partly because I don&#8217;t have a lot of time for it, and partly because it has been such a buggy year. The ticks, for example, kept me out of the woods all spring and summer. The ticks are still out there, too. I found one on my leg just the other day. I was tromping through some underbrush, though, so I probably deserved it. There are some solutions available, including cutting a path through that area so that I don&#8217;t have to brush by any plants. It makes more sense to do that than to complain or get &#8220;ticked on.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Money keeps getting tighter. This house is more expensive than I anticipated and prices just keep rising. But we won&#8217;t go hungry, or cold, or naked, and we won&#8217;t have to beg. That is a lot for which to be thankful.<\/li>\n<li>I have a horrible pain in my shoulder\/neck. I also have health insurance and a doctor that I can go to, and if all else fails, pain killers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My husband&#8217;s cousin has just been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer is a problem. If it kills you, then you&#8217;re dead and nothing else will ever seem like a problem again. I don&#8217;t know what her prognosis is (good, I hope), but her diagnosis is a reminder that there&#8217;s a difference between an inconvenience and a problem. I have inconveniences. I&#8217;m thankful for my lack of problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t have problems. Yes, it&#8217;s true that&#8230; I don&#8217;t get enough sleep.
