How Are You Feeling Right Now?

[TragicReality]

I'm a little upset with my older son. He is a very capable man, and i've helped him with a lot through the years. If he needed a ride to get his new tire rims I was there for him. If he needed me to pick him up far away driving down freeways that I'm not familiar with 4 lanes of traffic and tolls (and I don't even like 2 lane ones) I did it for him.

All I asked for was to pick up some cash from me and get me some things because my credit card was hacked, I'm sick and sore and can't get to the store. He's in this town every week night from work. And then..... nope, no show.

I'm feeling a little better today, drank orange juice a bit at a time. Funny in a way, my younger son will say the most awful things to me. Yet he's the one willing to go get me milk and coffee today. I love them both. I've had to take the hard path with my younger so many times. I've almost lost this apartment because of how he shouts and bangs doors and flys off the handle. He can't live with me. But if it rains, I don't care what my neighbors think, he can go in the back seat of my car.

I'm really hoping holding out being strong in the boudaries will help him realize it's time to get a job and find his way. I prayed so many times over the years, for him to find the right job, it seemed like it was answered. Nope. I don't believe anymore. Not because of just that. But he's been through so much. I just want to see him smile again, and not use weed because he thinks it will help him. It's hurting him when he's using it all day so much.

Feeling kinda crappy. Getting better at reacting less to my rejection sensitivity. I'm forced to, because looking for a job rn is brutal. 50% of all the engineers in my field are also looking for work.

Hopeful I can get through the week. Got 3 meetings tomorrow (one office, 3 remote), 3 office on Thursday and one on Friday. Today was the hardest day, so has broken the back of the week I hope. I'm hoping for some quieter weeks after this and have my little trip booked beginning of July. Will be over 5 years since I have spent a night away from my house 😲 Am looking forward to seeing my old friend the sea. But for now, I need to survive this week!

How's your week been and going?

I have no idea what it must be like to find and get work in the states but I imagine it must be tough. I would say in the UK it's easier to find work but you'll end up either in a caring role or retail. I've done both, but trying to get a job to match my skill set was impossible, where I ended up having to retrain. I find my job a bit boring at times, but it's well paid and I am grateful I have a job.

How's your week been and going?

I just got home. It was going better than I expected when I got through Tuesday unscathed - or so I thought. I finally got through today, not without some hitches, how people forget to turn up to their own meetings I will never know.... I just wanted to get home for my Thursday pizza treat, but I missed my usual bus because of a client delaying me, then bus I did get on was rammed, someone sneezed all over me and there was bottles constantly flying around the bus and down the stairs and then someone with about 25 kids blocking the aisle with all their prams, and by the time I got off I felt I was unravelling inside. I feel full of rage and self pity, despite all the work I've done the money's all gone so it's just more of the same just to stand in one place. I'm tired of it. Now I just need to wait for my pizza and hopefully decompress. I've just got one remote meeting and admin tomorrow. Won't be going to my Friday running group yet again because I'm still in rehab and most I've run is 2 miles in the last month. I am really struggling without the mental health benefits of the exercise.

Im so glad I don't have to catch the bus. That sounds like a complete nightmare and would feel me with dread. I drive an hour to get to work in the morning, I'd rather that. You are very brave to face that. I hope your rehab is going okay, you need to get back to your running group. I'll sure you will in the coming weeks.
