Jim, somewhere around the back of my head is the dent from the mental 2x4 I bashed myself with throughout august to stop me doing some of the same things (ok w wasn't there but I was obsessing with a nine mile high "o" go read my old postings..).
My advice echoes the above, for what its worth my advice on the shoes just say Okeydoke as happily as possible, pivot and off you go. But! You have to move toward believing it yourself and not stewing, thats what was hurting me, (in my head i was running 100 permutations of what ifs, what does that mean, why did w say that..... I drove myself totally loopy)
Your w wants to run her show...off she goes and let her the only option is how much you hurt yourself with worrying/working out what she needs to do/plan/ has she done etc (see we share some mental traits and its peppered through my august postings)
I have done this, I hurt myself, you all helped me, I stopped....more or less
no its not easy but you can -must- do it and you will. Doesn't change your core feelings but will let you live.
Anyway, dr phil dodgy jumper off, tech jeans and cisco t shirt on (not really its a nice burgendy number) why not go to maplin buy a raspberry pi dev kit and have fun with kids building a reto arcade machine or a weather station this weekend? Have a look at the retropie project.
Take it easy, breathe, relax :-) Edz
