Quick check in to say
Stay strong friends! Looking forward to a quiet night at home where I can spend a little more time here. The old AV is pretty quiet, just miss my SR time.

Good morning. Well, hubby and i spent many hours yesterday pulling together a rather last minute April vacation to Florida's gulf coast. Our flights are rather ridiculous with 4 hour layovers, and crappy times, but we got 'em, lol. Kids are old enough to bring kindles and walk around the airport, etc...
Treasure Island, more due to great reviews of a small condo resort on the beach and walkway. We like a kitchen due to dietary needs for one child and myself. less stress to not have to dine out all the time. We also like some personal space. I think we can drive south a few minutes to St. Pete, where there may be more activity right on the beach for the kids. we are not the sit out all day sort of beach bums. It is very appealing ot be right on the beach, have a pool, the walkway, so we can vary our days and pop on and off the beach, and especially access and walk there when the sun is less high and hot.
The beach looks so wide there! We will likely be exhausted walking it, lol.

I'm here...I was working this morning.
As for where I was yesterday?
It might have come across too flippantly, but I really meant it about having a nervous breakdown. The doctor wanted to hospitalise me, which is not an option. And the thing about me (I have always been like this) is that when a medical professional tells me things are serious, and I can't fix this on my own, I decide that I can. I find extra strength.
In all honesty, yesterday was one of the scariest days I have ever known in my life. I was just not 'here'. The level of sadness and desperation I felt were so big... I have a lot of faith, and I prayed. I went to bed early, and got up today and worked.
I appreciate the suggestions re job stuff, I really do. But the deal is this: I receive a government job search allowance, and I work part-time. I lose quite a lot of my govt allowance from just this one PT job. I cannot take on anything else part-time; I will be going backwards financially. So I NEED a full-time job, and I need it soon.
But desperation and a mental breakdown are not the best things when you are looking for work. So I made it worse...you could argue that this isn't my fault, but I think it is.
So I have to spend much more of my energy on job search now. I just have to.
And in order to do that, I have to be well, and be a great deal calmer.
So that's what I am working on today.
I love you all. ♥

I hear you, but just don't want you to get overwhelmed. I tend to do that and cave or retreat. Remember, no retreat no surrender.
Speaking of caving... I took the afternoon off, came home, ate lunch, and slept for three hours. Then I spent some time with my mom, cleaned this place up from the busy weekend, went for a run, and now hitting the sack a little later than usual, but feeling much better. I wanted to stay in bed all day, but I'm glad I didnt. This dreary rainy weather has got to go!
Sending healthy, happy vibes to each of you! Gnight

Mid morning yesterday I went to the ladies room wondering "what is up with my eye?" Conjunctivitis (Pinkeye), yuck. I wished that I could rip the contacts out of my eyes it hurt so much. Then the drive home with the sun reflecting off all the snow. Awful. Good news is I had and appt with my Dr. today anyway, so I'll get an RX and the contacts I tossed are disposables. Glasses and no make-up today. Not my favorite look LOL. Hope things look up for everyone today!
