Silver lining temporary unavailable
Things could be *so* much worse, but they are not particularly good right now. My stress level is like the head of a drum, stretching a little bit tighter each day that the job hunt continues without progress (which is every day). Things around the house are falling apart and this isn't the time to spend money on any repairs that aren't critical. There are moments when it feels like everything is crumbling -- too damn literally -- and my coping mechanisms are feeling the strain.
I am grateful for a multitude of people and things (intensely so, since they are life/sanity preservers right now...and along those lines, thanks to anyone who has left a vid comment recently as each one is sugar-spun and to my eyes is covered in even more sparkles than usual), but this is one of those days when the stress just plain won out and I don't have a positive spin. So...bedtime. And hopefully sleep will reset my brain. Maybe bring another vid idea to provide distraction. Or just a Bond dream, even? I could work with that.
