Well, Coral,
Your 'instincts' are most excellent. I am wild with worry over money. However, after reading approximately a billion student essays about how being born again = no more money trouble (because you are now taken care of in all things) I'm calmer. Although, it does appear, according to some, that I might have to buy a lottery ticket. Then, of course, I would win because...I'm being taken care of.But, really, I am scrabbling for some sense of perspective about this money stuff. It is not easy to come by (perspective, that is). I simply do not not pay my bills; it just isn't done.
Plus, I have been having a lot of stuff to do after work, and this is an 8-5 job, and I'm getting home late-ish, which means a little time with my WP, and then to bed. Not enough time, I miss him during the day, and he talks too much for me to make a touch-base type phone call (but, otherwise, I love the way and amount he talks).
I miss the dogs, too. And the house. And time for the computer. Ssiigghhh. Well, I guess that might have been some of what you're picking up on...8-) Nice of you to notice, thank you. Most people never know when I'm not 100% (they just look shocked when they come upon me and I'm bawling). And you're not even in the same state! (By which I mean, of course, Texas; not state of being. But I assume your state of being is much better than mine...correct?)
Oh, well. Today's gem from the student essays:
"With enough hassling and urging from friends, someone can be persuaded to ride his bike as fast as he can into a bale of hay."
The writer apparently did this, and while lying on the floor of the barn cursing, found he didn't have imminent, life-threatening injuries.
God, I got a great laugh from that one.
And, thanks, Phil for the call. I appreciate it. Next time, leave your vinyl siding message, ok?
Love you all,
Shar
