dryadgrl | Sick and tired and praying for an upswing

The last couple of weeks have been effing tough. Between people dying, my computer dying, going to court and being insanely sick, I'm not amused.

Sometimes it just happens like that - all the things happen at once.

So I need to reflect on some good things.

The computer hard drive was under warranty. So the replacement was free.

After telling my story to a friend that manages one of my favorite self-care habits, I found a extra-amazing product surprise in my bag when I go home.

I convinced the cult of Apple to give me the old hard drive and I'm trying to figure out who to talk to about seeing about retrieving data. But I have the hard drive! And I can work on my computer while I figure this out. Yay for multi-tasking!

I don't have to be anywhere this week, so I can stay home and actually be sick if that's what I need to do.

Kiddo found a new way to connect with his friends and the outside world. So I'm feeling better about that. He's also actually doing school work without me poking him quite so hard.

He also is about to have a friend come stay for 12 days. So he will be otherwise occupied most of the time and I can go off and take care of me, work on projects for and hangout with cool folks without guilt cuz the kid will be otherwise occupied. And they both have school work and so will cross-motivate! Yay!

Through the death process I've been getting closer people through shared experiences, grief and vulnerability. That's a sweet thing.

Ok, tired now.
