Hey NG, thanks for stopping by. I always prefer to learn from other people's mistakes, so glean all you can from mine.
I'm trying to break it down into baby steps. First I have to identify consciously when I get into these uncomfortable places. Then I have to take care of myself, soothe myself, center myself without asking P (or whoever) to change something. It doesn't sound like rocket science but it might as well be. I'm going to have to write down a plan (and probably staple it to my forehead...)
This morning P sent an email asking if I'd be willing to take over the job of selling the land (but only if I'd take some money for it.) I said I'd be happy to help, but that I'm not up for being the lead on another project right now. Strangely, someone actually called me this afternoon expressing interest in the land. I gave P a quick call to give her a heads up about that. Tonight she called because she wanted to compare blood test results from our recent physicals (could I make this up?)
