This too shall pass

For a variety of reasons I've spent most of today at home crying ...

This too shall pass ....

Oh sweetie, sending HUGS. I hope everything isn't TOO awful.

Mariann Mäder said...

It will... there are such a load of changes happening for you right now, it's quite normal that you have to unload some of everything.

Hugs sent! Hope they arrive with 300'000 km/s :-)

Melissa Hicks said...

Thanks ladies.

I've spent the last two days with a migraine.
My eyes hurt so bad and feel like they will never get better.
I've drained my bank accounts dry.
I've increased and maxxed out my credit cards
I've borrowed thousands from each of my parents.
And this afternoon I find I have to come up with another $3000 by Tuesday.

I miss Trubs being around and I had to face an ugly part of my soul today so I'm also emotionally wrung out.

Just a heap of little things that all piled up today.

It will all get better ..... it just takes time.

(((BIG HUGS)))
Hope it settles soon. The move/finances/uncertainty are bound to give you a few stressful moments. I wish I could make it all better.

Paula Hubert said...

{{{{{Mel}}}}} It's ok that you feel this way - you've been going through all sorts of huge changes lately. And not feeling well and being tired is just adding to that. Hang in there!

Karen R said...

{{{Mel}}} I wish I had some great words of wisdom or something helpful! The roller coaster has to come to a stop shortly, I have no doubt! Lots of good, calming thoughts coming your way - and hoping for a lucky windfall for you :)

Tracy H said...

Hey Sweetie, with so much going on all at once I can't imagine you NOT feeling overwhelmed. One day at a time; one hour at a time. You are a strong girl and you have many friends sending you hugs and good thoughts. You can get through this and you know that too, after all, you titled the blog entry correctly. {{{Hugs}}}

Anita B said...

Mel, I agree with the others that this is sure understandable - don't be too hard on yourself right now. You've got so many things going, I don't know how it could NOT be overwhelming. Hang in there - you really are doing a great job on this move!

Melissa Hicks said...

It will be better next Thursday.

All is arranged now except for paying the removalists, packing the car and then watching them pack everything else. Oh and getting my taxes done. Everything else is arranged and paid for.

Then I just have four weeks in which to live before my next pay packet ....

It *is* getting there - I just felt sooo overwhelmed yesterday.

Today I'm off to work - oh joy! I only have two more 4:30am starts !!!!!

Claire EJ said...

Only two more of those hideous starts, how wonderful!
Just think, in a couple of weeks, you'll be able to start having a home life. Trubs won't know what to do with herself!

Melissa Hicks said...

I am soooo furious right now !!!!!

A couple of dozen of us are leaving work at 4pm this afternoon for my farewell drinks. One of my favorite arsehole pissant fuckwit staff has arranged a meeting with the unions at that time that I am required to attend.

He deliberately scheduled it so I could not attend my own farewell !!!!!

{insert long string of words that are worse than the above and *not* in my usual vocabulary}

Claire EJ said...

Unfuckingbelievable....
At least now you can really tell those people what you really think of them....The cruciatus curse would be the most appropriate thing I can think of right now...

When you do get there for drinks, have a good time:)

Melissa Hicks said...

I wont be going - I can't hold up two dozen people for however long this fuckwit can draw out the meeting - and I have no way of getting there on my own via public transport.

I've just flat out refused to attend to the meeting. I'll see how hard the Director comes down on me.

Claire EJ said...

Not really much point considering you leave imminently.

Bunch of morons....

Natalie Mikesell said...

Can't really say much more that hasn't already been said, and good for you for telling them you won't go to the meeting!!

Karen R said...

I was going to say, what are they going to do, fire you? You know, when you reach a certain age, some things are just petty and childish.... Asshats....

Melissa Hicks said...

Well its a couple of hours later and I feel soooo much better!

My Director, once she realized the implications, immediately released me from attending the meeting ... and ...

STEPHEN ARRIVED !!!!!

He caught the red eye over and surprised me turning up at my work this morning!

We've had a late breakfast together and I've just left him finding somewhere to curl up and go to sleep for a few hours .....

Paula Hubert said...

Ok - the smartass in me says "what are they going to do, fire you?" But still - areshole doesn't even begin to cover this guy!

Paula Hubert said...

And I see Karen said the same thing I did - I should scroll down all the way! :)

Enjoy your weekend! Seems that things are indeed looking up a bit for the moment with Stephen in town!

Mariann Mäder said...

I'm glad that you didn't have to attend that meeting. Seems very cruel to me, but I thought about the same as Karen and Paula :-)

Cruciatus is too kind... should leave something longer lasting, like a castration with a rusty knife?

Anyway, I'm so glad you have Stephen there!

Oh, and I like the new theme!

Melissa Hicks said...

Thanks everyone - after a couple of drinks with workmates and then a night with Stephen - I feel soo much better - full of vim vigour and bounce. Stephen is still sleeping.

kay jones said...

So glad things are getting better for you. They always say that moving house is the most stressful thing you ever do. Good old Stephen; he knows when he's needed.

Have a good weekend and will be thinking of you during the move.

Melissa Hicks said...

I have been having a wonderful weekend!

Stephen has helped a *little* with the move - but mainly he has been de-stressing me. Lots of conversation and cups of tea - we've been to brunch and the movies twice and he's met Alison and lots of my local friends. It's been a good weekend just getting my mind off everything that needs to be still done before the move .....

Of course as soon as he goes tomorrow I think I'll be stressing all over again. I might go and get a box packed before dinner .....
