Slowly, Bets, and Sage-
Thanks all for your words of encouragement. Yes, I was at a place of exhaustion yesterday, and really needed to vent. I did NOT vent to H. So that's okay.

I tend to beat myself up a lot for stuff - more than I probably should. That's when things get out of control. I tend to "do" or try to "do" when I should just "be."

H cam eover last night (no, not my idea) and ended up being really sweet and affectionate, and staying the night. Apparently to him, the call I made was not so much a big deal as it was to me.

I take things WAY too seriously sometimes. I really need to work on just relaxing, which is why Sage's suggestion of meditating seems really good - do you have any suggestions on that for a beginner, Sage?

Bets- things weren't outwardly that bad yesterday, they just FELT really bad to me. I think I do sometimes underestimate the effects of being hormonal. Anyway, I threw my fit here on the board, and not at H, so that was progress, and today is a new day in which to succeed and to thrive.

Fridays, honestly, are not that high stress, and I may bump up my visit to the resale store to get some good books. I am really tired, and don't feel like going anywhere this evening. It depends on how I feel tonight, honestly.

Anyway - I am okay. Life is okay. Just keep swimming!
