I just got a call that my Mum is in the hospital.
My Auntie is with her.
I can't seem to contact anyone
The flight costs $1,500
I don't want to go
She wasn't much of a mother
Am I selfish, or am I protecting myself?

Don't know how I am-my moods are all over the place-didn't sleep well last 2 nights-have a lot to do the next few days & can't seem to get motivated. Its like I have selective procrastination. I'm having a lot of trouble prioritizing things.

Olanza-what? How long have you been at your job? Mine is in the news right now with screw ups to our computer system. I'm still supposed to somehow make it work. I hate when the user guides they give don't work, are missing steps or are just plain wrong. So frustrating and demoralizing.

I ve been working here 19 too long years. Funny, I use to love it, but now that I struggle to do it every day, I hate it, I hate it, I loathe it! Im just setting myself up for failure. I'm going to lose everything, I know it, I know it, I know it!

You must really hold a powerful/stressful position if its on the news. WOW. I hope your day gets better, for me, well mine is almost over with. I no longer work full time because its a major stresser for me. I still wish they would just fire me and put me out of my misery.

I don't really know how to cope
The world is crashing down on me
Mum was in the hospital, was sent home only if she gets a nurse in twice a day
My auntie told me that she probably does not have long
Thank heavens that is covered by the health care system
At work my boss is being a total a**h**e

Send me good karma please

Been holding the December blues at bay, but just barely. But I'm slogging along trying to will myself to be festive. Tonight starts Hanukah. I will be alone, as my wife is out of town. Going to try and focus on the meaning of the holiday, and not 'poor me.'

Sleep continues to be a challenge. I took a nap yesterday and felt a bit better.

Much better day-slept in this morning, made & mailed my xmas cards & made tea. Nearly got out of control trying to make the cards much fancier which would have taken tons more time but took some deep breaths & managed to keep them simple-normally (or abnormally) I would have gotten all out of control spending way too much time on them & then not get them mailed-score 1 for me.

My cat is doing a lot better, and her health seems stable for now. So my mood is a little better knowing that i'm not losing her right now. But i still have a lot of anxiety right now, feeling tense and nauseas. But much better than i was

In reference to someone else yes. Gravity and speed can both warp space time.
