Java: C, I'm in such pain!
C: I know honey, it's gonna pass.
Java: No! It'll never pass!
And when I'm in the middle of it, it seems as though it will never pass, that I will always be in this tar pit.
But guess what? It passes! Yes, I do feel better. Friday and Saturday were bad. Yesterday I didn't do much at all. Today I feel much better. The children are in school now. I hope I can maintain this level of sanity once they get home.
I mentioned a couple of posts ago that our van had broken down. Yesterday Superman and I went out to where it was abandoned on the side of the highway to try to start it up again. No go. So we called AAA. I've been a memeber of AAA since 1984. Since we have almost always had old clunker vehicles, AAA has been a very good investment for us. We had the van towed to the shop. The whole ordeal was rather pleasant, actually. Superman and I sat in the pick-up, talking and teasing each other while we waited for the tow truck. It was a bright and breezy day, warm in the sun with a cool wind. It was fun spending time with my husband.
So the van is in the shop. I'm afraid to hear from the mechanic. But I'm not going to worry about it now.
The darkness lifts, I can see hope and possibilities and even a bit of happiness again. This won't last, either. I'll fall into despair again. But it's all temporary. If I can keep this perspective as I work to develope healthier attitudes I can continue to function. It's all good.
