The Wheels of Anxiety

 I am not doing ok with my new work assignment. I probably am, but I don't feel like it. 

I have had to adapt a lot more than others because I don't complain and I roll with the punches.  

Today I had to file something with the court and it had to be done today.  I have filed a million things but when I went back and looked over my work, I had forgotten to attach a part of the document so I thought I had copied it over and added that part.  I filed twice.  Twice is better than none but I'm worried it will cause problems.  I made phone calls to find out and I got nowhere.  One person said they would probably both get accepted by the court.  

I feel like I've been failing so miserably with mistakes and just not being sure.  I have been told I'm doing fine but this is what anxiety does to me.  I thought why did I have to change my assignment?  It's going to take me time to get to know and understand people. I get that.  In the meantime, my anxiety level is at all time high because I'm terrified of getting yelled at or have someone disappointed in me.  I got enough stress.  Sitting here and trying to work things out step by step is exhausting.

I don't want to go back to my old assignment.  Someone ruined that situation for me.  I just wish someone could wave a magical wand and make these feelings better.  Just please make it go away.

Way Past My Bedtime

 I crashed before Reverend Raphael Warnock's speech.  The power of DVR saved me. I watched it this morning right up to the point where I had to sign in.  It was fantastic.   Hillary was great.  My mom was crying.  It meant a lot to her to have Hillary win that election and she was crushed. I was crushed.  She always fan girls over Hillary.  It was hard for me to decide in 2008 do I go with Barack or Hillary?  She gave a phenomenal speech. I had to watch Joe this morning.  No, I didn't cry like I usually did.  I got a little teary eyed when his daughter finished her speech and introduced him.  That nice man made sure his little boys had a dad that came home every night after they lost their mom and baby sister.  He took his oath of office by their bedsides.  He got a second chance with Jill and having a daughter.  He's such a good human.  Yeah, he looks 81.  He lit that stage on fire with a torch....

The Dark Things

I sometimes wonder about this when I'm in a brooding mood about how I got treated at a low time in my life.  Or lowest. Would people have been relieved if I just died?   Really.  I have thought the answer was yes.  I'm not talking about my family. I am talking about those who made their discomfort known to me.   They could have had some fake ceremony and a moment of silence.  There wouldn't have been a funeral so they could have forgotten about that part.  They would have excelled at pretending to care about my life if I wasn't here. Then, I had to go do something stupid and survive.  How do we deal with that?  My mentor even mentioned to me, well, you know, none of us have dealt with someone being sick.  Oh, should I get a fucking manual for that?  Excuse the F bomb but that was warranted. When I got my schedule for radiation therapy, I had wanted to talk to my manager about it and find out if it was ok.  I had gotte...

So Here's the Weekend

 I was having a wishful thinking moment last night when I was writing my postcards.  I was wishing for my imaginary friend that has shades of Stephen Colbert mixed in to show up and go for a walk on this humid July night.  We would talk and maybe check out the food trucks that were at the Farmer's Market last night.  Maybe they would be ok.  Maybe they wouldn't.  We would be getting out of the house and just talking about how our week went for both of us. Maybe we would stop at Pick n' Save and get my mom something she asked for.  He would always know how to talk to my mom and he would be someone she's really comfortable around like Charlie.  We would maybe see Charlie mowing the lawn on his usual Friday night task and talk to him. He might have plans with his kids in the morning so we say our good night with a hug or maybe even something else.  No, I'm not going salacious here.  Get your mind out of the gutter.  Maybe we'd see each...
