Things here are stabilizing some. A is notably down and there have been stressful times with all three of us. (Younger son really gets uncomfortable when A and I argue. I mean, *really* uncomfortable. I never remember getting that freaked out when my parents fought. And it's not like it's ever coming to blows or anything violent or even loud.)
But overall, it's okay.
I have been working very diligently on the apt. It's almost ready for the new tenants who are moving in this weekend. I think I sort of needed to prove something by doing a very good job. Especially with the uncertainty about getting paid work.
Am thinking that I will start back in retail. Ironically, I was very ready to get out of retail back when I was in management after college. (Maybe 5 yrs worth). It never felt like real work somehow. And it doesn't pay well.

Well, if your goals are to make some money and keep yourself busy, then retail might not be so bad (especially in the right place, selling stuff you like). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteRetail is something where you go and do it and at the end of the day you don't care much about it. That at least doesn't add stress to your life. And you are unlikely to have to work insane hours, which is a big plus.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad things are stabilizing. Is A getting any independent support/help?
A isn't feeling compelled to seeking talk therapy at this time. This time of yr he often gets depressed and expects it's related to that. Has stopped drinking for the time being.
ReplyDeleteNo luck with me finding a job yet, but it's only been two weeks. I have another plan up my sleeve....
