I am mentally and physically exhausted. Lots of work and over-time, which will help me get out of the financial jam I'm in, but gee...I would love to go to bed knowing that I could sleep in tomorrow and sleep till I'm done sleeping.
I hope one day that I feel "normal" again. I'm not sure what normal is anymore, but I know that the way I've been feeling is not natural.
I got a message from one of my friends earlier. Her husband is drunk and ranting. I don't know that he's abusive, but he is for sure an alcoholic and she's there with her 3 kids and two of their friends. She asked to come stay with me if need be. I would NEVER turn her away and have offered whatever assistance I can be, but the whole thing has set of my anxiety. There is peace in my home for the the first time in over 2 years. It makes me nervous.
It's been 5 months today since my problem went to jail. Good riddence!

hmm, i'm sorry that you're having to work so hard Katt. I hope that you can take time off at some point as you have to make sure you stay healthy.
I can understand how this possible person coming over makes you nervous when her husband is being drunk and possibly abusive. i gues the thing is that you can be objective in this situation and take safety decissions which you might not have felt able to take in your last situation with your ex. all of your experiences will guide you through - but if you really are worried, then your home wouldn't be a good place for her to be. you could help her find help without putting yourself at risk perhaps?
take care. its lovely to hear from you again.

Thx Silent.. I'm sure things will slow down soon. We had a clerk quit a few weeks ago and at first they weren't going to replace her, but now they are. I'm going to take advantage of the over-time while I can, because in my postion I rarely get it ever. However, they have since put feelers out for applicants, so I'm sure it will be over soon.
As for my friend, she is currently in the back and forth stage of the "leaving" the relationship. She was very upset earlier, but has since calmed down. As I said, he is an alcoholic, which for me is a HUGE red flag considering my ex relationship, but I don't know how abusive he is. I just want her and her kids to be safe.
As for Willow, I sent her a couple of messages before I had internet problems and that has been about a month ago and I've not heard back from her. I hope she is okay.
