The Venting Thread

[Babyblue5290]

I'm just stressed. -_-

Working 35hrs/week, taking the max amount of credits (4 classes, total of 18 credits), all of my classes are 300-400 level classes, David just left to go back to Chicago (I cried), my books are going to cost me over $500, I have things to pay, I'm sick, the poor dogs got use to David being here and now they are stressed with him gone and constantly looking for him and whining at the door, and all I want to do is go and cry in a corner and hide from the world.

Annnnnd, now the anxiousness has started.

I want this day to be over and to never end. UGH. This is what I hate the worst.

My friend died yesterday this isn't really a vent but I don't know where to put it. She had Ewings Sarcoma which is apparently really rare in adults. Shw fought over two years and never lost her sense of humor or her zest for life. She was only 41 and leaves behind her husband and 2 children.

She is free of pain and suffering now and she is with our Lord and He is what gave her her zeal for
Life so I know she is rejoicing and is having a glorious homegoing but it's so hard for us left behind!!!

Missing her SO much!

[sparks19]

Thank you Her Celebration of Life is Saturday and it just doesn't seem possible that I could be going to such an event

Just dropped Michael off. Day 1 of ~196 days has begun.

Had to sit out in the car for a bit before braving the house. It's too empty now.

Cynder cuddles and Abrams kisses helped a bit. Sleep aides tonight, day of video game marathoning and bumming tomorrow. Regular scheduled programmimg will resume on Friday.

One week at a time.

I don't think it makes you a bad person, but 196 days away (and at a potentially dangerous job, I don't know what he does/where he's going) is a really long time.

So sorry Blackrose*. I hope he's safe doing what he does, and the time flies by.

^all of that. I enjoy alone time for about a week, and then I'm happy to have my husband back. I can't imagine 190+ days especially when it's deployment, not just a business trip.

Blackrose, any more info on whether he'll be able to Skype? I know you were worried that you'd only be able to communicate by written letter a while back.

Eh, at this point we don't know. Skype *should* be possible while he's in Spain, it will be another story entirely while he is in Africa. He did decide to keep his phone and just switch to an international plan (now I need to figure out if I need to switch, too, as we're on different plans), so texting is also now an option.

Last night was miserable as everything became reality while I was tired and moody, today it is just annoying. LOL I know this deployment will be as hard as any separation would be, but hopefully it goes by quickly! It is going to help that I have a friend/coworker whose husband also deployed last night (headed to the same destination, although no Africa later on), so we're in the same boat.

So sorry for your loss, sparks

I am SO COLD. At least it's warmer than yesterday - it didn't get much above zero and was more like -15/-20 with windchill. And of course the dogs have the most energy when I have no desire to be outside for extended periods of time.

 

[DJEtzel]

Sorry blackrose.

I don't know if it gives you any hope, I don't know what Michael does or what area of Africa he'll be in, but my ex was in a pretty nasty area of Africa and managed to Skype Frag about once a week! Crossing my fingers that you'll get to hear from him more than you think!

My vent is that I can't get in to see my physical therapist for another week and a half. I have a disc comp at the end of the month and will only have a few sessions of PT done by then. UGH. I just want to be able to function again.

 

[stardogs]

Migraines suck. I haven't had one in 12 years and BAM! Lost half my day and my head still hurts.

 

[Ozfozz]

So sorry for your loss Sparks


and Blackrose, while I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this is for you, I know that only seeing my SO on weekends is freaking unbearable at times. ((Hugs))


My vent today is about the crazy vivid dreams/nightmares that I've been having lately! After being sick for nearly a week, I can finally get to sleep! Only to find the damned medication gives me horrible dreams, that the doctor failed to warn me about. Trying my best to hold out for the 2 weeks before deciding to quit it, but holy crap...
