You can be my bay leaf, Shar. May not be large, but somehow makes it all come together.
Thank you for your analogy, your post gave me some ideas. The biggest problem right now is that I'm being hit from so many different sides, I can't tell you which way is up. It's like being caught in an avalanche -- only I can't spit to see which way is up.
What I'm going to try to do is to sit down later -- after I do the housework (alone) and a rearranging project (alone) and the laundry (alone) -- I'm going to try to write some of it down. I'm going to try to pick out the carrots and celery -- which I don't like anyway -- and try to separate the meat, which I'll take in to therapy this week.
(Biggest problem, of course, is that this fear of the doctor is a microcosm of the rest of my problems. Solving this one will solve EVERYTHING -- if you know what I mean -- so trying to do it in two sessions this week? Sure. Right. I'll still be in major turmoil by the time I get in there. Still, if we can get SOMETHING accomplished to get a good result when I see the doctor, and then we get a good result from the doctor, maybe it'll help build that flight of stairs to get me out of the cellar again. Cross your fingers, eh?)
