School's out. That's good.
I start "work" June 1st. I hope that'll be good.

My sister's moved into a new home.. on the beach. I'm happy for her but.

She is sending me my mother's bedroom furniture. I miss mom. So I'm
going through everything in my room (haven't done this in at least three
years) to get it ready to paint and lay carpet. then I have to figure
out what to do with my dresser, mirror, night stand, headboard. It'll be
good to have a matching set of furniture.

Ugly... well, my attitude sometimes. I wish I wasn't envious of my
sister's achievements. I know she's worked hard. I wish I was a better
sister. I wish I had some earning potential.

Oh well.

LOL... short but oh so profound.

I'm going to work on keeping busy today so that this anxiety doesn't
build. That's what it feels like inside... and anxiety doesn't have to
be bad. It can be good too. I can use it instead of letting it use me.

Yeah.

this helps... typing it out and putting it out there really has helped.

thanks.


Awwwwwww yer welcome! I know you'll be the first in line to kick me in the
ass when I'm in need

You need a boost chickie... Take a you day... MAKE a you day... Cause you
earned it... You're doing wonderful things you have a wonderful future and
wonderful things WILL happen cause you earned it... Now repeat that to
yourself 10 times!!

Tonight's orders are as follows: Get a juicy book - something that you will
enjoy... and when your heathens are in bed for the night pour yourself your
favourite drink (alcoholic or non)... run a nice bath with some smellies...
Light a few candles... Play soft music and have a good soak... Have a cry if
you so desire (sometimes that makes me feel better)... get a cool cloth and
rest if over your eyes and just take some ME time... I promise it's ok... I
wont tell anyone that you did such a thing if you don't tell anyone that
every 2 months or so I need to do the same just to keep my sanity -- the
only rule is you are NOT ALLOWED TO THINK... No thinking about the what ifs,
who did or what you can or can't do... Read your book, listen to the tunes
and just be mellow... NO THINKING

:-) I thought about doing just that... and that was after I read
your post. But then I got caught up in life and *whammo* it was
midnight.

Today turned out ok though. So good!
