Whelp, extra mom,
@FranC , my mom and yours said the same thing, pretty much. She also told me she JUST gave my little sister a loan so she could pay her rent this month. She is all Sufi so she puts it in Sufi terms (which I understand cuz like, I was a dilettante for a while) but basically to stop listening to Satan (and I can live without Hillary in my head, yeah, she SUCKS) and she would do a healing on me.
So, I GAVE my brain a rest while cleaning up my
vape area which trust me, needed it quite badly. But it's all clean and organized in here, and I'm too tired to do yoga but that's okay I can do it tomorrow.
She also said while she could not classify my sister's employment as holy or unholy I was doing "holy work" and there were not so many people who like, are willing to do it at the moment.
So then I scrubbed and scrubbed and it's always extra therapeutic because it reminds me of housecleaning with the baby kiddo with me, where my only worries were "How can I clean this more efficiently" because I Do That.
I also decided if my back hurts sometimes I can still do yoga because it's my MAJOR coping skill even if it means I take a couple of Advil because BAH, it hurts after all that cleaning. I'm not taking 4 tablets every four hours for days, and if I get symptomatic I will switch to Tylenol but it's not like I even NEED it every day, plus, if my one concession toward rushing to death is like well, taking some Advil so I can do yoga in preparation for my hellish day it's probably better than thinking about driving my car into... it's hard to find things in Douglas but there is that fabulous canyon in Bisbee, AZ, I can always travel there. So instead of doing that I will be risqué with the Advil or whatnot.
Screw it. I am stressed out enough. My mom said she would never let me end up in a tent next to our Tucson Shell of Home and I believe her (based on her scared investment email when she was sick, she's better.) Also, the husband listened to me rant and said, "I both we are not normal. We SAY what we THINK. But frankly, I bet everyone is feeling this way. I mean LAYING YOU off one day a week on Saturday and then threatening furloughs on SUNDAY if performance is not met? You don't even get a weekend away from this crap?"
I thought about it more. Because my main thing was, "This is all my fault." That is how social workers tend to think if they aren't thinking "This is SOCIETY's fault." So yeah, I guess I need to not Think and Carry On. My brain's my biggest asset and my greatest liability. So I feel a bunch better but thank you ALL for your niceness.
I will keep moving until they make me stop, I guess. It's not AS bad when you are there because you are distracted, IF that makes any
sense. The horror of the constant change is so great.... I hope I don't let it ruin my weekends any more.
I bet you ANYTHING the adult team got the same damn email. Yeah, parents are scared for their kids, but like, I bet the adults don't wish to enter EITHER..
I cleaned up and organized everything, including my mixes.
The husband just asked me if I was gonna pull out the couch. My answer: NOT TODAY my fine friend. YOU can if you'd like. LOL.
