Saw La Traviata at the Opera House last night. Was such a lovely
production and I enjoyed it heaps. (Am very grateful for free tickets
- thanks Jodie - as there's no way we can afford to do such things
these days and I love going to the opera.)
Things are just really stressful at the moment.
I don't want to write or talk about it, except to say that I don't
usually get stressed but this is just really draining me.
I believe I am coping with it better than I did last year when I just
collapsed into a heap as soon as something bad happened. Last year, I
became a lump who pretty much wasn't capable of anything.
(You know, when we moved house, I didn't pack or unpack one thing. I
also stopped paying bills when I used to be in charge of finances.
*That's* the kind of mess I became. Thank God for my husband who
calmly took it all onboard and did everything himself.)
So even though things aren't great at the moment for a number of
reasons, I'm glad I braced myself for it at the start of the year. I
said to myself that 2007 was going to be tough (after recovering from
the year-from-hell that was 2006) but it was going to be do-able
because I wasn't going to behave like a deflated balloon anymore.
I keep telling myself "It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine..."
Anyway. I'm sure it will be. Just make it soon!

I hope the skies clear for you soon, dearie - in a purely metaphorical sense, I'd prefer the open blue to a silver-lined grey.
*big hugs*
Hang in there, tootsie. I'm sending you best wishes for a peaceful outcome on all things stressful. You're young, healthy, in love, employed and spunky! You'll make it through!
Yes, you're handling things better, and that will increase with time too, even if you feel out of it and scattered now. If it makes you feel any better, I actually had two late payments on bills when I was deeply depressed when my marriage collapsed. I am the type of person who pays bills early and is super organized about finances. I stopped balancing my checkbook and was late on bills. And nobody was there to stop me from messing things up, either! It passes. Depression does wonky things to folks!
