Warning: Depressing Post
Change is really not my friend. I've always had a difficult time with it and now, I'm struggling to be positive...........and failing at the moment.
Joe left for Redding yesterday. He'll be working over there for two years. So, now we'll do nightly phonecalls, weekend visits and coordinating our lives together through Sprint. *Sigh*. Don't mind me. I'm feeling sorry for myself.
My writing isn't going at all. No time. I hope to get some done today. I'm so grateful to those who gave me their suggestions. Stacy is right. Finish the story and see what I have. That's the advice I give. I guess I could....I don't know....use it.
Crystal's idea is good too. Perhaps I could combine the brother's story and this story together for a double novella. It's an idea I like.
The Divas (as always) were supportive through the worst part of yesterday. Then Michelle drags me away so I can be depressed in private away from the kids. That's the worst part of this. I cry or breakdown, my boys will too. I keep it together as long as I can and then go in the bathroom for a quick cry and come back out to be sympathetic.
Last night my five year old asks me, "Why does Daddy have to work out of town? I miss him." I explain that Daddy and I want to live here and that means Daddy has to go work on the road. It's a good job yada yada yada. Somehow it all sounds empty in the face of Dell's agony. It will get better I know. We'll fall into a routine and it will have advantages and disadvantages.
Just to top it off, though, I decided to do the no carb thing to lose weight per my Doctor's suggestion. Don't worry. I'm not going to start pelting you with my menu of the day or anything. Two weeks NO carbs, then I can start incorporating some after that. If it works, I'll keep it up. If it doesn't, *shrugs* oh well. Try something else.
The doctor has decided I have migranes. Whether they are stress induced or I have pressure on my optic nerves she doesn't know. *Shakes head* I just thought I had headaches. LOL.
OK, I'm done with my depressing stuff now.
Oh! I emailed Wild Rose Press as follow up on "Perfect". The editor emailed it was with a reader and she hoped to get back to me by the end of the week. Whew. That's over anyway. Now, I'm back to waiting...........yee haw.
Hopefully this post didn't send you off to your Sylvia Plath anthology.
Question of the Day? When it all gets to be too much, do you buckle down? Do you pull the covers over your head? Do you ignore it? Always like to hear other methods.
Me, apparently I bitch to the Divas and on my blog.
Lucky you.
