Wherefore Art Thou
It’s been a very stressful… while. Everything just sorts of blends together, and after a while the constant state of anxiety starts to feel so normal that I forget when it started, or what started it… everything just feels fucked up in one way or another. While I was in the store, an elderly stranger offered the perfect description of this feeling ( Read more... )
The situation with Xan's school makes me furious. Why give everyone the hope that they can save the school if it was decided by the politicians from the beginning? That's such a terrible breach of trust, especially with children involved. I feel so bad for Xan, and I hope he'll be okay at a new school. At least he'll be with a few of his friends? Good luck, and I havefaith in all of you.
Grrrrr at the restaurant. R had a very bad experience with a restaurant firing him out of the blue last year, with no explanation. He's still recovering from the emotional blow.
It just pisses me off that people take advantage of such good-natured, hard-working people like Curtis. It's just...arrrrgh. It turns me into a giant squid of anger and I can't say anything coherent.
I'm glad Curtis found a new job, and I *really* hope the hours get somewhat stable.
In a year and half of being married, R and I have only spent two nights apart. It was not fun at all...the apartment was so empty. We survived long-distance for over a year, and going back to that, even for just a night, was...not terrible, exactly, but something I don't want to d again. So I can imagine how hard it was for you to be separated for a week. :( *hugs*
I know what you mean about depression feeding on itself, and eventually just doing simple things like getting out of bed becomes too much. After a certain point, the depression itself becomes comforting and familiar, and you just want to stay that way because changing anything is just too much effort. It's not laziness, it's just a survival instinct. And while it may help you survive at times, eventually you just have to fight it. And I know you will fight it. You're a wonderful person, and you WILL make it through this. I promise. If you ever need to talk, I'm here. *hugs tight*
The landlady thing...that's what I hate about the way the system is set up. Even if the courts clearly say someone owes you money, you have to jump throughso many hoops to get them to pay that it doesn't seem worth it anymore. Im proud of you for fighting, though. It's big and scary and confusing, but you CAN do it. Sometimes you need to fight, no matter how hard it is.
I’m an obsessive, neurotic, anxiety-ridden person who barely qualifies as an adult that secretly wishes her mom was still making all the important phone calls.
Me too, HBS. Me too. Want to be anxiety-ridden people who don't feel like adults together? We could start a club!
The Xan story is something else. And yet it doesn't surprise me in the least. My nephew is very much like Xan in that he doesn't want to do anything unless he can do it perfectly on the first try. I'm never telling him this story, because then he'll NEVER try anything ever again.
Finding a community of kids to play with is so amazing. I had that for a few yars in childhood, and our group of three or four kids was always outside running around, going to the playground, going to each other's houses for popsicles..it really felt like one big family. I'm so glad Tempest has that. :) And DEAR GOD, SHE'S GOING INTO MIDDLE SCHOOL?!?! How the hell did that happen? Wasn't she JUST born?!
How much would it cost for a new camera, or to get your camera fixed, out of curiousity?
Your children are absolutely adorable. I love the cookie batter pictures. :) And BUNNIES!!! SO CUTE!!
Good links today! I really liked the story about teaching good sex; this needs to be taught everywhere.
I love you lots!
