Real Life Sucks...

[partly]

Real life is conspiring to kick my ass. Well, there is some good news but that's immediately followed by major suckage. The ratio is just enough so that I can't spend my entire day sobbing into my pillow, no matter how much I want to.

I'm sorry if I'm overly touchy here or when I chat/email with you all. I'm finding it difficult to keep balanced.

It's odd. I haven't processed everything enough to talk about it (in some cases don't even have enough information to even do so), but at the same time I find that I am impatient when talking to others about their lives and interests. This lack of social ability annoys even me, I can only imagine how it must be for those I'm dealing with.

I don't know if it would be best to focus on happy, cheery things or delve deep into brooding, dark themes. Mostly, I don't want to think too much at all. So, I flit from one thing to another, like a hummingbird on speed.

I just thought I'd warn you.

*hugs* Love you anyhow.

I'm actually torn between wanting to hug you lots and wanting to slap you upside the head with a mackerel...or a halibut...or I think I've got some salmon here, if you prefer. (Just make sure I've thawed it out if we go that route.) But the hugging's definitely more socially acceptable and generally speaking, not as messy.

It's been many, many years since I saw you from this 'close' a vantage point in quite this state. But I know you, and I know you always win past it in the end, because I know you're just that strong and stubborn - and that's the good side of stubborn I'm talking about here.

You sound like you need a little of both. And that's OK. Not thinking for a time is OK too, but sooner or later you need to or things start to seem worse than they are. Usually LOTS worse than they are. And I know you know all this but sometimes, at least for me, it helps to hear it.

I'm here for you lass, always; in text or on the phone if you like. No need to be sorry, life kicks all our asses sometimes. say what you need to say; no one's listening except we who care.
