Other crap that's on my mind.

A website about things you probably don't care about, but I do so shove it.

Everyone but me....

-My good friend just lost her best friend.
-My other friend has the swine flu.
-Someone in my family is at risk of getting laid off.
-Someone else in my family had to foreclose his house - leaving him god knows where.
-And then I get a crying call from another good friend saying I need to call her back. When I did, in a frantic, she couldn't tell me what was so urgent because she was at work. We always end up playing the game of let me ask you a Yes/No question and you'll vaguely tell me what's what. But with 5 minutes to talk I couldn't get any real information.

I'm convinced that either I am the luckiest person ever or there is no such thing as luck and I should just be grateful that none of this is directly happening to me right now. When it comes to this kind of shit where I have to console lots of people, I'm a pretty strong person. I don't let it effect me too much, rather I try to be there for the people I care about as much as I can - or as much as they will let me, considering distance and time is always an issue with me being in Seattle.

Last week I was all, enough is enough. I'm going to my favorite women's spa where I can float around in a hot tub naked and smell peppermint in a steam room without a care in the world. No offense to those who I do care about. But sometimes you just need to get away from all the shit that's happening everywhere else.

And man, those few hours in spa heaven + 2 glasses of wine shortly thereafter were just what the doctor ordered.

Don't feel bad about taking time for yourself. I need to do it too. Emotional baggage gets really heavy, and if you don't take time to regroup, you'll go nuts.

Thank you for all the nice messages. Knowing people care is sometimes all that gets me through the day. And thanks for not asking me stupid questions, or being all perky. Some people are fucking stupid. :)
Hugs.
