Been doin' the Flylady thing for a week now, and I am tentatively declaring the sink and the laundry a win. I have one couch full of clothes to put away, but everything in the house is washed. Or given away. :)
Been writing snippets and lists. Not enough to make me feel right, but enough to make me feel better. I came to the stunning realization in October that I had been depressed for the last year. Husband looked at me disbelievingly and slightly mockingly. It isn't fair when someone knows you better than you know yourself.
Anyway, as remedies go: changing jobs, giving my brother's two kids back to him, and cutting off my parents seems to be effective. I feel better. But different, too, and not sure how to deal with that.
I spoke to both my parents at Christmas for the first time - in weeks for my mom and months for my dad. I don't know how this is going to go. I honestly don't have much hope. That's not true. I have ridiculous hope - I somehow carry the hope and the implausibility of success together. |
