Taking cover

I am an upbeat, optimistic person. I am known to be a problem-solver and someone who confronts life, and the occasional crap that goes with it, head-on.

So why have I been hiding out at home lately...Ignoring the myriad of demands that I need to deal with?
-the wrecked car
-the piles of laundry
-the cable bill that has an error
-the 'to do' list that is as long as my arm and both legs

It could be because I don't feel well, and haven't for almost three weeks.
It could be because I miss my daughter when she is away.
It could be that a weird experience over the weekend left me feeling a rather raw and vulnerable.
It could be that I'm premenstrual and hormonal and stressed.
It could be that I need to take better care of myself and shutting down is my body's way of driving that point home.

So what do I do about all of this?

I think I'll just go to bed.

i've been there, for weeks, as well. i think it's hard for me because NOTHING is wrong, NOTHING is bad, in fact everything is great! except for how i feel. which makes me feel guilty. and down the spiral we go...

thinking of you. we really do need to get together.
