Whooo, boy. I'm with you on that one (about five or six projects going on right now.) Make sure you get insurance. Oh, and everyone is unreliable, never on time (except to pick up checks), messes it up, leaves it half finished, and doesn't clean up after themselves. It *is* a whole lot like relationships come to think of it.
> suddenly some thoughts are coming up that I'll NEVER get support and love from males. I've failed. Picked wrong, or don't know how to get my needs met by them, or something. I think I'll do some journaling.
Funny, that's what I've been thinking too, since my therapist just set our therapy back at least a year. Unless of course, he decided that therapy *is* bad for me in which case... Oh well. Anyway, husband, father, bosses, therapists, workmen.... Well, wait... Most of my female relationships have been the same....
Might I suggest Fawlty Towers or Blackadder? I was horrified to find myself laughing my head off at Fawlty Towers the day my dog died (back when I only had one dog at a time).
And hot baths with letting the water run over your hands.
And realizing that the person who will meet your needs best is that sad eyed but lovely woman in the mirror. Take care of her, and she'll take better care of you.
Cyberhugs, and a cup of cybercocoa to you. (Yes, I know it's hot, but cybercocoa always helps calibrate you to exactly the right temperature).
