I’ve been juggling some pretty heavy problems for the last month or so, and two of them came to a head this morning at 0330. Which was a relief to know exactly what I needed to do, but it was still packaged up in an ugly bottle of reality suck.
There’s still two big bottles of suck out there, and the fallout from the first two are weighing me down.
I’m mentally listing things I’m grateful for, and overall I’m in a much better spot than I was even 24 hours ago. (The devil you know and all that.)
I start out doing the single click pops and then switch to Manic Mode and just moving my mouse. It’s satisfying. A Clean Sheet or 3 and I’m ready to do something else.
This may be a bias of my own warped mind, but I highly recommend going over to www.loweringthebar.net and going through the archives. It’s a legal-humor blog, which might not sound like a great idea, but it contains the best of the incompetent criminals, poorly-considered lawsuits, ridiculous pleadings, and snarky judges. Deadpan commentary on whether Jesus’s attire should be considered a legal basis for anti-baggy pants laws. Bonus: the blogger hates the TSA, and I’m always down for some anti-TSA snarking.
I hug my pets really close. Feel their hearts be, touch their paws, wrap their tails around my finger and nuzzle their noses. In no time, the world seems a little less bleak and a lot more fuzzy. Hope things perk up soon, hon.
Sending a tsunami of good vibes your way, hoping life looks better tomorrow!
And never ever forget, no matter how much reality sucks, at the moment, it cannot change that you’re still awesome. Today. Tomorrow. And the next day too! Just keep being awesome and the rest will sort itself out!
The three videos above are funny dachshund commercials, my favorites. The next is a parody of the Prince William/Kate Middleton wedding.
Also remember you have 101 years of National Geographics to play with!!
Sorry to hear you have troubles, wish I could help in a more effective way.
Someone I love is going off the rails, and there is nothing I can do about it. Thankfully it’s not my immediate family, and I’ve decided to wash my hands of the whole mess, but it’s still preying on my mind.
I’ve got a professional blogger and victim who will never be happy trying to drag my company through the muck. We can’t win, no matter what we do, and if I try to engage her in a public forum, she’ll never stop. We really try to make people happy (A+ BBB) so I hate this, but she is one of the most miserable people I’ve ever met, there’s nothing we can do. When we disengaged, it only pissed her off more.
A friend of mine has a toddler who’s been battling cancer, looks like he’ll 'die this week. Which makes me feel guilty about complaining about anything. All my kids are healthy and happy, soI need to stop whining
Remodeling the house and living with my mother in law for the last month, with another couple of weeks to go. She’s awesome, and we’re grateful, but for the love of God, woman, you don’t need to be talking every minute of every day. I have no sanctuary.
I’m very competent, and deal with large amounts of stress everyday with aplomb, but it’s all adding up~I’ve been crying on and off for a couple of days, haven’t slept worth a shit, and couldn’t eat anything at all yesterday. I think it’s because there’s absolutely nothing I can do to change anything. I’m used to being the problem solver, the one with the plan.
Plus my husband is out of town, I need him home so I can curl up in a ball with his arms around me. He’ll be home tonight.
