JstAnotherSub -> turn the page... (2/21/2010 3:27:00 PM)

i have turned many pages in my life, some good and some bad, but all necessary and all made me who i am today. other than the fat ass and long boobs, i am content with this person most days.

but turning this page is knocking me out, a lot in the same way the death of my parents did.  sucking the wind out of me in such a way that i am thinking of asking for the whole week off, like i did when mom died.

i am moving.  first time in 17 years...divorce, struggle, hope, get educated and get a much better job, but too late to recover from how far behind being a single mom got me blah nlah blah.  no regrets on that or the divorce, but leaving my home feels like the last familiar thing floating away from me.

moving sale, packing, pausing to cry every so often, i am exhausted.

so why tell yall? cause you are here, and i am sitting at this damn keyboard buzzed and in the mood to type.  i keep telling me i am lucky to be able to move to another cute house, closer to work, have my dog and my health and all that, but i feel like i am walkng through jello.

the move is next weekend, i will survive it, but i needed to write all this somewhere.  aint yall lucky i chose here?

i  feel kinda sorta better already.

i think

Yes.  turning the page can be a good thing.

This is your chance to improve on some things.

Hold your head up high- for the sun will rise tomorrow.

You'll be glad when it's all over. I don't think we had all the boxes unpacked until a month or so after we moved in. Just take your time.
One fun thing is unpacking things and remembering when/why you got them...well...it's fun for me anyway!
Good luck on the move!!

Remember that while not every chapter of the book has gone the way you wanted it to....revisions are something people do after the fact.  And despite the fact that it's not possible to go back and change the story now, you can change the way this story goes from here. Now is the perfect time to do some editing (so to speak).

At the very least I would ask for a few days off... You deserve them. Do something nice for you...get a massage... get your nails done...get a hair cut...get a facial... do something else refreshing and 'selfish' that you haven't done for yourself for a long time. Buy some cute post-it's. Write some affirmations on them. Post them in different parts of the house so when you go there you are forced to see them... Remember this is not just the end of something painful or yucky or whatever this is also the beginning of something exciting and wonderful.

Change is good... but only in the long run.  Short term change is stressful.

Just get through it...

The only thing constant in life is change.

It's good to see you back and if nothing else I'm sending you lots of warm wishes and positive vibes. Major changes in life are never easy, they cause an awful amount of stress but it's good that during such times you reached out and shared.. Once again warmest wishes that it will all fall into place as quickly as possible and work out for the best.

thanks yall....i left early today, and will do so tomorrow.  hopefully they will have a floating manager to cover for me from wednesday thru next monday.  i told my boss i am sick, not sure if its mental or physical-lol.

luckily, she has known me for 15 years and is aware that i dont lay out of work for any reason.  she and the principal both informed me that they hated to be the one to tell me, but i had been nuts as long as they had known me.  smartasses.

thanks for the positive vibes...i am going to let this flow as it wants to, knowing i will come out the other side in a most wonderful way eventually.

and for jeff....sing it with me....on a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha....
