How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Woke up in the middle of the night as I often do, with a lot of digestive distress. I've been eating very moderately, and only food that is okay for my stomach, so not sure why this happened but I was briefly taking progesterone so that might be it. Now finished the prescription.

I have a casual friend from a previous writing group coming over tomorrow and I'm quite nervous about it despite also looking forward to it. I had a bad experience with a different writer over the summer that scarred me, and I've withdrawn from socializing a bit, especially socializing with other writers. It's a community where things like jealousy and gossip can play a role. I haven't seen this friend in person for over a year since moving away from my previous city since I don't have a car. I'm not sure if she has something specific she wants to talk to me about. She says she has an appointment in my city which was her reason for driving all the way out here, and it may be something to do with the writing community because she works for a local conference.

Anyway I'm probably nervous for nothing. But I can't help it.

I hope you end up having a lovely evening and can look back and wonder what all the anxiety was about. Also hope you feel better physically soon!

I'm OK, I survived the dentist (horrible, I just can't stop myself from swallowing repeatedly while there are pipes and things in my mouth!) without any scares of needing costly treatments, more of an all clear then a clean. Knuckled down to some work, I was on a roll but now I have to do a 1 hour video call for Job 1 before I can settle in for the evening and put some decent hours in while there are some well paid projects going. Feeling OK, not having to commute helps! House is 17C, sooner or later I'll cave in and put the heating on, I don't type too well if my fingers are stiff from the cold but otherwise I cope pretty well with low temperatures.

Tax bill paid, insurance in case the tax department investigates me paid, just waiting for more savings to transfer to pay the accountant's fee. But at least my meter is ticking upwardly again. Hey ho, back to it, I'll be back!
 
Upset, mad. The pilot light keeps going out on the water heater and the kids are like, Mom there's no hot water. So I try to call my fiance this morning 3 x, I know there's a 2 hour difference but I wish I could talk to him. I'm going to handle this calmly but I don't feel like this inside. 🥺
I hate that kind of thing. I've never had anyone to handle those home emergencies but myself.

I hope you feel better physically @Lady Wolfshead. Also, I do hope you have a pleasant visit with your friend.
