Extremely Frustrated in Wisconsin
Nov. 10th, 2005 07:38 pmI'm feeling pretty irritable today. Here's why:
- I feel cut off from everything and everyone I want to keep up with. I can't get online easily, and when I do, I have a lousy dialup connection. The phone line here at the inlaw's house is something straight out of Pakistan -- the line noise prevents me from connecting half the time, and when I am connected, I can't always access the sites I want or even my email. At least I have my own computer set up now, and don't have to fight constant viruses attacking on the inlaw's computer.
- I'm worried about my son, who is in another city with my folks. He's freaking out over there -- it's too loud, too little personal space, too crowded with boxes of our stuff for him to cope easily. But we can't really do any better for him until we get a place to live here. And by the time we get him settled in a new place, he's going to need major recupe time, just when he'll need to be looking for a job and all that fun stuff.
- I can't find anything I need to get anything done. Our intention was to pack so that we could get at things we needed, but of course that fell through. So I am still digging for things I need in the car -- and not always finding them.
- I'm tired of looking at "just one more place" to see if we can get a better deal, or a bit more room, or a nicer view. It's all going to be about the same in the end -- but DH has to look at everything. We won't finish looking until at least Monday, and then we may have to wait for days to get "approved." By that time, living with the inlaws will have grown pretty old, I'd say.
I know, it's only been a few days since we moved, and I know it could be worse -- not to mention other people having worse problems then I do at the moment -- and I know it will all settle soon enough and we'll be fine again, and I know that all this is just part of getting settled in the place we are supposed to be during this time in our lives -- but right now I'm just plain irritated and out of sorts and tired and glum and stressed.
Pray with me, please, for the ability to cope with grace in the coming days.
