Oh, smonster, once again you and I are as one.

It's almost freaky sometimes.

I did take my neighborfriend's daughter to the pharmacy, and then went to the pet store and grocery store. But I have a sink of dirty dishes, and friends in town who want to see me, and a budget that needs updating, and need a shower...

Bleccch.

Even the extremely extroverted me needs some downtime away from people, I guess. I just don't want to slip into hermitude and depression.

Awesome news, Sean!

Things are much better today. I'm feeling much less strung out, but I have a appointment scheduled with my doctor to revisit the idea of anti-anxiety meds.

Yay sean!

put your hair out!

I just don't want to slip into hermitude and depression.

This is my fear. I *need* to be looking for a new job, but I can't muster up the energy. I *need* to be gathering up the last bits of paper to open up Rob's estate, but there's no motivation. I'm doing better, but I'm still having trouble doing anything more than getting up and dragging myself to a job I loathe.

Anne, I'm glad you're feeling better.

Sean, that's wonderful news!

Sean, that's great news!

smonster, do not beat yourself up. You needed it, and you were providing a balance to the universe for how "on" and productive I was today. (I am totally counting a day of interviews as productive.

Yay, Sean!

Anne, I'm glad today is better. Hope the doctor can help more long-term.

(((Maria))) You do as you can. Pushing yourself won't make anything better. When you feel like reaching for something, then is time enough.

Meh. I have been a total slug today. I guess I needed it? Trying not to beat myself up for not cleaning, looking for jobs, etc.

Aw, it's the weather. Don't beat yourself up about it, it was a slug-ful day all around.

Hooray, Sean!

Yay Erin! Yay Sean! Yay sleep! Apparently ibuprofen and vicodin was the magic combination for my aching right side. Woke up a couple times to use the bathroom and re-dose the ibuprofen but kept returning to the warm, soft, delicious bed. 13 hours later i finally looked at the clock in shock and got up and fed the kitties. I'm astonished that they let me sleep so long and also grateful because i hadn't gotten a full night's sleep in over a week. Woo hoo! Let the healing commence.

Congratulations, Sean!

And Maria, so many hugs. Be gentle with yourself.

I think, probably, that you need to be pacing yourself. If you let some stuff fall a little by the wayside, or lean on some people, or stick a finger in the dyke for a second, it'll be okay.
