I'm too tired to think of a title

I am so not ready for a week of work. DH and I both cannot shake the exhaustion. Too much STRESS and even though we got to rest a bunch this weekend, it really didn't feel like it helped one little bit. The house stress (for the most part) is our own doing, for taking it all on in the first place. But dealing with 2 deaths during it, is hard. And actually, since we started this building process a year ago, it's been 4 deaths. DD's future SIL, our nephew, and DH's parents.

We're kind of on hold with our cabinets....the 3 that need replaced, she had told DH it would take about 10 days...well this week is now 4 weeks! and she, of course, won't call me back. She's awful for trying to get a hold of and returning calls. But, the granite people can't do anything until those are in. The tiling for backsplash can't get done until after that. Etc, etc. I just left her my 4th message in the past 10 days.

DH is so missing being able to call and talk to his dad every night. He feels like he doesn't have anyone to talk to now. While, for some reason our son reached out during Christmas, when MIL passed away, that is the last we heard from him and he hasn't bothered to even acknowledge DH's phone message or text about Grandpa. Sad.

Our neighbor made some brownies and brought over a plate yesterday. Like she said chocolate seems to help when you are sad. They are such a sweet couple.

No one is here working today and it's another rainy/muddy day. DH has just been sleeping all morning (even though he got up and got dressed) so I'm hoping that helps him. I turn around from my desk and see him all snuggled in bed and I just want to crawl in and go back to sleep too. I can't really take any time off, unless big emergency, for the next few weeks, as my boss is out on medical leave for 3 more weeks. I'm going to text her this afternoon and see how she is doing. I'm hoping she has a speedy recovery. I'm sure she'll at least be able to start working from home on her laptop soon.

I love my DD and her perspective on what is important in life. We were just messaging about weddings. Her simple wedding is not stressful, nor breaking the bank.

 Last night for dinner we tried some frozen salmon patties we picked up at the grocery store. Teriyaki and sesame. Pretty good and so easy to make. Just 11 minutes in a skillet, turning over halfway. And it took up very little space in my tiny freezer.
