23. There are times when clarity and calmness manage to take over.

It is those times when I feel very embarrassed about my outbursts here. I really don't have anyone else to blow off to and you lot are the unfortunate card holders. Today, I am a bit better in that we have a nice house, it is decorated and, somehow, we have a full haul under the tree. (Granted, I made several 'prop' gifts which were little games and such from the dollar store to make the tree look more seasonal. In the past, they worked out great but this year I may have to pull them just to make more room. Wild.)

Still in pain. I hate neuropathy.

But thank you all for your support and good vibes. Even virtual support is better than one. My beloved hubby is always here in spirit even though he is working nights and we have opposing schedules. I see him when he leaves and when I wake up, which is when he is usually going to bed. But, he cannot be my everything, even though he is my pretty much everything. No one person should be put in that position, especially when you have to add in my mental state. So, it is great to have something to hold onto so that he doesn't have to be freaking Atlas all the time.

Thank you. Thank you.
