I am NOT a happy girl right now.  And this is COMPLETELY selfish of me, and I feel terrible about it, but I have SOOOOOOO looked forward to this day ... this final day of Reiki Master training ... and my Reiki Master just called:  She has the flu. 

:o(

I am so sad.  It hasn't been a good week, and I'm feeling the stress of it in a thousand ways.  I want to go crawl in a hole and not come out for a while.  Dishes I didn't dirty.  Smelly dog-I-didn't-want-in-my-house I had to bathe.  Comforter on the bed that had to be washed because smelly dog wasn't bathed a week ago when I asked.  Huge pile of bathroom towels washed end of last week in a pile on the utility room floor ALREADY.  Things stacked in places I just cleaned out a couple of weeks ago because you ... which really means *I* ... couldn't get through on a daily (sometimes multiple times daily) without tripping.  Trying to get reading done for Reiki Master training.  People making unfair demands without caring that they're unfair.  Work stress.

It's a pity party for Geo and you're all invited.  ;o)  Sorry.  My family has caused some of it and they got a good deal of feedback on that last night whether they wanted to or not, but the call this morning just sent me over the edge.  :o(  I'm heartbroken.  Hopefully, we can reschedule in the next two weeks ... otherwise, not until January or even February.  I'll just sit here for a bit and cry and get all the frustration out, and then I'll be fine.  

Thanks for listening ....

Oh Geo, I'm sending you some Magic Dust to pep up your spirits.

There are those days, I know. That's what we have Jack's here for, to come and vent and hide under a pile of cushions and only come out when your cyberfriends coaxe one with something good to drink and great music.

I'll read you a few things from my book and translate them for you, I wrote a few funny stories this year and maybe they will bring a smile to you.

I'll borrow you that beautiful pink shawl I bought last week - well it's really purple and I know for one that you are partial to that colour. So wrap yourself into it and dream my friend and forget all those little things that are angering you and try to to wait calmy for the big Reiki moment. You will be even better prepared when your Reiki master is ready.

Hugs

first of all....((((((HUG))))))

Second of all, I'll bring the spiked punch to your pity party.

Thirdly, it's not selfish to be disappointed.

Fourthly, didn't you go on strike awhile back?  Is it time for another?

Fifth...I'm not above temper tantrums...never have been, never will be. Sometimes, it is good to remember the way of the child...if things aren't going your way, scream until they do! :)

And sixth, we love you.  If I could come help you I would but since I can't...I'll just pour you some nice spiked punch and we'll get silly together. :)

((((((HUG)))))) again...
