Still putting one foot in front of the other...

Elbereth,

It's been crazy busy with the house sale. We are accepting the offers by tomorrow and reviewing early ones. That whole process was mostly on me and I'm exhausted by it.

It must be a lot to deal with to prep the house, especially considering the emotion aspect of your entire sitch. Hang in there. It's tough now I'm sure, but perhaps when it's finalized it'll help you process through and get some sort of closure.

At the same time, workload at work for me has tripled as we are getting close to a new product release and are still very short handed. So I've been working long days. They have also still not offered me any solid job details either. In fact, now they want an in-depth resume to express what I do for the company in deep detail as well as what other skills I offer. Like I have time for that too? But I guess the company that acquired us really doesn't know all that I do, so I get it. Or maybe it's just another stalling tactic.

Sometimes my managers have reached out to me to help them quantify my impact or list my responsibilities in order to help them justify an award or salary raise or level promotion. HR sometimes has policies and inputs on the process which managers can't always answer on their own and the easiest answer is to ask the employee. As a manager I've done that at times with my employees. So...not saying that IS the case, but it MAY be that their ask is actually a good sign.

In short, I've had very little time for self care, and for me it's mostly been disconnecting by watching videos or anything that allows me not to feel or think.

Emotionally, I'm struggling, but I am trying to focus on the positives and the fact that this house sale is another step in getting my life under my control and also more time for healing and growth.

Sorry to hear that. Hang in there. Do want you can for yourself. Hopefully when you get through the house process it'll free up some time to work on you.
