Oh I woke up in a state this morning. I had pain and diarrhoea. It was anxiety produced. So I felt pretty awful. But I got up and stated moving and that was a great move. I still feel pretty ordinary but I am moving.
I have two assessments and two panels today. So I need to collect my stuff up for that. I have some things to do.
So I just have to get through the day. It felt impossible when I woke up but more manageable now.
Egads, this is not feeling easy.
So I am doing much better in doing things when I feel so poorly these last couple of months.
I was given a gift yesterday of a "Venus of Willendorf", along with one of my friends, for our contribution to the campus and for our work in saving TAFE NSW. It was a short but lovely presentation. I felt chuffed.
I managed to talk about M's death yesterday to let a couple of other people know about her death and details of the funeral. It wasn't easy but I did it. It is annoying how people mythologise someone who dies and rewrite history to make themselves look good in light of that person, but it is the way of things so I just listened, didn't disagree and mostly bit my tongue. On one occasional I gently corrected something but 99% of it I let go with everyone I talked to - actually I talked to a lot of people about it yesterday at TAFE and on the phone. I did okay.
I didn't get much done last night but I figured have some down time - some time out was okay. That is reasonable.
I feel I am doing okay, not so well and rather well in the spectrum of situations in my life at the moment.
