Hi Betsey and Matilda - Thanks for stopping by. I managed to finish 3 out of 5 deadlined deliverables so far, and am feeling much, much better. It took me a while into dbing to realise that when I'm stressed at work, my personal situation looks bleak. Duh. These days I just recognise what's going on, and lower my expectations of myself. Preserves everyone's sanity
Last night NG and I were watching a pre-recorded program from a friend, and as it ended, the second half of Oprah's interview with Bill Clinton came on (must have been a previous recording that got taped over). It was when he was talking about telling his wife and daughter about his 'mistake' with Monica Lewinsky, and their journey to recovery as a family. NG was mesmerized. It was an uncomfortable 20 minutes, and we did not discuss the program afterwards, but I could see he was processing.
Slowly
