Brittle

Am feeling much better than I was when I wrote my last entry. Thank you to all for bearing with me - I really need an outlet for all this emo insanity, and you're pretty much all I've got at the moment.

I do feel like a rather battered eggshell, though, and probably will for an indefinite period. ::shrug:: Such is life.


Today has been the day of the mysterious phone calls. The gardener called up wanting me to check on one of the orchid driftwoods that he claims is missing a plant, and to ask the maid about it. Great, more suspicious minds wanting to know. The least I can do is check, anyhow.

One of Dad's relatives called up from the States. Louisiana, by the sound of it. Whatever.

In other news, having exhausted myself with crying out the aftermath of the latest round of parental argumentation, I lay down after taking an ibuprofen (aka Medicol) and promptly slept like a logjam. Poor husband of mine, who held my hand and cuddled me, and assured me he was going to be all right despite all the angst leaking out of my every pore. So actually, I'm not that all alone in this world, for which thank God. But still - must keep emo insanity as far from him as can be managed. Not good for his heart!

Just got off from watching a little TV and making sure the cats are inside or outside, as they prefer. Trixie is out, after acting suspiciously as if she was about make the day bed into a litter pan. ::sigh:: She'll be back in a little bit; she's not one to wander, not like our little Mocha, who has recovered entirely from his escapade.

Downloading Journlr again. am going to give it another spin and see why I got rid of it in the first place. (Something about it not having a way to insert LJ code, if I remember correctly.) At the very least, if I get rid of it via AppDelete, the remaining debris from the previous installation should go, too.

So that should be about it for today. Tomorrow, I trust, will be better. I hope Dad will let me have the free car; if not, then I can just pop over to the drugstore with the coded car.

Thanks again for the good thoughts and prayers, folks. They do help, more than you can know. ::hugs LJ_Friends::

I'm sorry you've been feeling so miserable. One of the best things about life is it's constantly changing. Today's misery can miraculously become tomorrow's source of joy or amazement if we're open to the ever-changing nature of things.

Everything passes, is transformed and is reborn as something else, down to our very cells. That is the nature of things. At least, that thought often brings me comfort.

Fiction helps me cope. Have you ever come across Greek Mythology fanfiction? Hehehehe. It's mind candy! ^_^

Whoa. Greek mythology? Into fanfiction? Oooh, sounds interesting!

Here's the one I'm currently into. Persephone/Hades (there are actually a whole bunch of fics on this pairing, whee!) ...

She Walks In Beauty (http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2359950/1/)

Some of them are in fictionpress.com, others in fanfiction.net :)

Ooooh. ::makes note to read:: At least Persephone/Hades I can understand. I would think he'd have felt kind of bad at kidnapping her from a world of light to live in his world of darkness. And he was ordered to give her back! Lots of room for drama/angst right there.
