Calm down, calm down
I have reached a state of mind where I just would like to be able to press a pause button and allow myself some 'down time', everyone else can carry on but I would be in a state of suspended animation. In comparison to a large section of society I know that I have an easy life. I live in a pleasant market town, I have a stable home life, a job, and a loving family but the last 6 weeks have thrown so many stresses at me that I have got myself well and truly out of my personal coping area, one more thing and I feel that something will have to give. Izzy was born, that event was wonderful but it is quite difficult being with, let alone caring for, your daughter when she's giving birth, then the rapid work move was imposed upon me, I damaged my coccyx, had the cold bug, which left me with an irritating cough, started my new job, MIL died, Daughter found out she was having twins, the caterers for the funeral let us down, and then, to put the icing on the cake, Hubby's family decided last night that they are all staying at our house after the funeral on Friday, plus we are still owed £30,000. Basically I'm just really tired and can't see an end to it.
Crikey, I've just re-read that massive whine, talk about feeling sorry for yourself, I think a Bacardi is called for. Come on, be positive. I've lost, well misplaced really, my ID tag, Amy took a shine to it and I can now only find the holder, but that's good 'cos I hated the photo, the family tell me I look like Harry Potter on it, so now I can have a new one. My super special memory foam seat pad, with the cut away for my coccyx has arrived, so I will be more comfortable in the car. Amy's house is 'under offer', they put it on the market 2 weeks ago, before the news about the twins, so it is really fortuitous that it may be sold, even if they haven't found anywhere to buy, we've told them that they are welcome to stay here if they find themselves in limbo. The weather has been glorious, and it looks as if it will be fine for the funeral on Friday, it can't lift the spirits but at least it won't make the day worse plus,it would be good if 30 people were not traipsing mud through my house. How selfish is that?

Some time out to just relax a bit and unwind. Where did you find the super memory foam thingy? I think I could do with one of those, I'm finding I feel every little bump in the road, and the roads around Liverpool are appalling. :-( I've tried a slope, but the angle is too great to use in the car. |
