Jun. 16th, 2006 03:09 pmJust went and sat in the toilets for a bit because looking at the computer was making me seriously dizzy. I think I'm panicking more than a little. I'd ask for cheerful distractions only I really don't have time for them.
I need a nap and a cup of tea, and I need a hug, and I need someone to tell me I'm being a twit and everything'll be fine. (I think twit is about as far as you could go up the insults scale without me bursting into tears at it.)
I've made a daily to-do list and it looks mostly manageable, provided I don't stress out so much I get sick, or get behind on my sleep, or whatever. Just looking at it all together is... ngh. Not fun.
It'll be okay, just. Can't see the forest for panicking the trees are gonna get me.

You will be fine.
I swear.

I wish I were geographically close enough to come over, take your hand, make you sit down with a cup of tea and then help you with things. *sighs*
But I'm not, so I'm sending you good vibes and Internet hugs *hugs tight* cos it's all I can do.
Hold on, sweetheart. You can do it.

But then more can still be added in the form of sand! And then water. The point is that you start with the largest/most essential things and then go on down in order of importance, and end with full days and a natural order of progression. It all fits.)
Definitely take the time for the tea, and five minutes to do a walkabout down the block or something and to breathe, and it'll all come right. We are here for you. *hugs*

And really, even if you don't get absolutely everything on your list done, it will still be okay. It isn't like any babies or puppies are going to get the axe over them.
Unless they are. Um.
If so, maybe you should just do those things first. :D?

When you're ready to look at your list, remember that you can only do one thing at a time. And when you do get that one thing done, remember to give yourself a pat on the back.
