River: down

[mdlbear]

I am feeling cold, and lonely, and unproductive, and tired, and discouraged, and depressed. I didn't really expect not to be depressed and discouraged after finding out that Colleen wasn't coming home for another week; perhaps the only surprising thing is how long it took for the depression to build up to the point where it... I'm not sure how to put it. Took over?

I am, in any case, all out of emotional spoons at the moment.

I should play some music, take a hot bath, and go to sleep, shouldn't I? Or maybe not -- last night I fell asleep in the tub.

Falling asleep in the tub is a Bad Thing. Set an alarm if you need to. That way you don't get all pruny from being in there all night. ;)
I'll go visit Colleen tomorrow.
It is hard when you think it will be Real Soon Now and it ends up being delayed, again. ARGH. At least she is getting better all the time, so she will be home eventually, healthy and raring to go. Only the timing is uncertain.
Hang in there. The spoons will come back with time.

I'll vouch

for Lisa's expertise in this matter. (Note example: It DOES get better!)

You should definitely do those things.

You've probably been hearing this a lot lately, but it's true, so I'll say it along with everybody else - it's astonishing how easy it is, when caring for someone you love who's unwell, to forget to care for yourself, in so many ways, big or little, physical or emotional. Remember that being good to yourself is one of the best things you can do, period.

Thanks. I know, but it would be a lot easier if I didn't have to work or sleep.

Hang in there, bear. Things will get better, and Colleen will be home soon, though god knows from either of your sides it can't feel soon enough. I'm thinking of you both and sending healing thoughts for both of you...

[mdlbear]

Many thanks! Things are getting better; it's just slow.
