whew and a lot of babbling...

I'm tired today. I'm tired everyday. I think the stress of this situation is getting me down. I CANNOT wait for this to be over with. C and I have been getting along pretty well, so that's good. No arguments yesterday. Thankfully. I went a bought a new Wii to replace the one he's keeping and a new one for me to take. He paid for it. Then we split the savings account. Right down the middle. We will both be ok.

I have enough to pay off my student loan (FINALLY!!!) and a bit left over to keep for savings. I'm thrilled to be able to do that. I like having a nice balance in my account so it would be great to keep it, lol, but my inner accountant tells me to pay off the bills. I need to still pay rent, for the uhaul and gas and stuff for December so it'll go down a bit, but at least I finally feel like I'm making a (small) rebound.

I packed up the pantry last night. Why is it that I keep thinking I only have a few small things left, but when I actually get around to packing them, it takes freakin' forever?! Sheesh.

So tonight I have a haircut (hello stupid flatiron. My bangs do not agree with coloring and flatironing - they keep breaking, ugh!), then sort the freezer into his and hers, pack the computer, the kitchen radio and it should be fully done. Well and packing up my SUV so the stuff going with me Friday after work for trip #2 is ready to go.

I wish I could say that December was going to be an easy, low key month. It's not lol.

December 4th move.
December 6th start new job.
December 15th back to this job for the day to help fill in/catch up since there is no one hired yet, this includes a 150km drive each way.
December 17th drive 250kms one way to see my mom for the weekend for an early Christmas.
December 22nd, back to the old job to fill in once again.
December 24th, drive 350km to spend 3 days with my dad's family for actual Christmas.
December 27th drive back.
January 4th - 7th, spend the week here at old job training new hire.

I am off from December 24th to January 2nd, but eek!!!!

So a good friend of mine that I work with is going through a similar situation as myself. Hers is much worse as her ex is suicidal. I'm not sure if he is actually or is just acting out for attention. either way his parents are involved, as are hers. She wants to see him, to try to help him, but so far he's physically restricted her, twice that I know of.

She barely holding it together, trying to move and whatnot, but the part that concerns me even worse is that she is drinking. A lot. Socially with others, but getting drunk on average 3-4 times per week. I try to talk to her, to be there, but I'm not sure what to say. And to be honest, I dont have a lot left in me to give right now. I wish I could help her.

  1. You have a lot on your plate.

    I have no real idea what you are experiencing right now. I suppose this is exciting and scary all at once.

    You can't save your friend. Focus on yourself for the moment. Your outcome may be better than hers.

    Alcohol in large amounts can ruin anything.

    As Fin once told me...

    "There is no downside to NOT drinking"

    Merry Christmas!
