Aw, yay! That's awesome that you got good help (and amusing you confirmed the "too-big-band too-small-cup" stereotype!), but sad you didn't get it earlier. Ah well--I'll bet you look great!

Glad you had a great bra fitting experience!

Oh my goodness, le n! From a 44 to a 38, that is a huge difference. Glad you got fitted.

I can hear the sighs of relief from your chest meat from here, le n.

Ahahahaha.

So... I've been off work for four days for the long weekend. One coworker is on vacation this week. My other coworker is stuck in Philly on her way back from a visit home and won't get back until this afternoon. That means that I'm working alone today, unless I 1) call in our new employee who wasn't supposed to start until next week and who doesn't know anything or 2) work with A who is worse than useless, thinks he's the bees' knees and underpaid and apparently taking direction from a woman hurts his widdle male ego. The latter just texted to ask if we're working today b/c he can't get a hold of the boss.

Also, my clients are just back from a two week vacation so I'm sure they're going to want to have a talk about things; it's apparently my boss' birthday so I'm guessing he's hungover; and there's a 70% chance of rain today.

Okay, just needed to get that off my chest. Wish me luck!

Dear god, I just want to go back to bed. This is shaping up to be one hell of a Monday.

eta just talked to boss, taking another day off. Okey doke.

So My landlady's dad has an apartment for rent. I'm looking at it today. I could use some apartment~ma with this one.

Or just find an apartment that allows cats~ma in general.

askye, I hope you'll find the right place for you as soon as possible.

le nubian, wow indeed. And man, I need to get myself some bras (and sandals) too. Thing is, I absolutely resent shopping. It's a chore at best terms. But sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do, because current bras are killing me and I do need good sandals for the hell we call summer.

A good friend (and my co-worker. Well, not really a co-worker, but we share an office) suggested that what I'm going through is just the overwhelming sense of a break after dealing with so many shitty things for so long. That makes sense, I guess. I just have no idea why the sudden break from dealing with so many things doesn't feel good in itself.

Because now you are not shoving back all the stress to the back of your mind just trying to get from one thing to the next. You actually have the leisure to feel what you are feeling. {{{{{Shir}}}}}

I tend to think of it as the recoil from firing a gun. There's the action of pulling the trigger and the bullet being fired, which equates to the stressful situations as they are happening, which is followed by the recoil, which is the reaction *after* the bullet is fired. The recoil is now, when you have a break from the stressful things, but their impact catches up to you.

Not a perfect analogy, but it works for me.

Humm. That makes sense. Thanks, Steph and Windsaprrow.

I'm glad I have folks to explain me this stuff. I'm not cynical at all - I'm really not in touch with my emotions and have next to no idea what is going on. It's very confusing.

So now I'm just supposed to feel like this for a while, and it will eventually change?

It will. The part that sucks is where you can't just speed it along because you want to stop feeling that way. Just feel your feelings and keep taking good care of yourself, and it'll pass.

Shir, Teppy and Windsparrow are wise. I hope the feeling passes quickly, and, in the meantime, take good care of yourself.

My mother has learned to text. Send help.
