Whinge

[purpletigron]

I'm still feeling stressed about the whole legal/financial thing to which I've been alluding. I'm feeling sufficiently upset about it all that I'm fighting a losing battle to do anything constructive today. But I don't see myself feeling calmer any time soon. Unless we can actually put the world to rights through LJ, this leaves me in a bit of a fix... [FX: Updates Friends page immediately on submission]

Oh dear. I thought it was going well. You can always email me if you want to rant at someone.

Selling a house is going to be a walk in the park compared to the other stuff, but it's still, like ... selling a house :-)

Purple bearhugs! Wonderful! :-)

That's the Purple Hugger. I use him for hug and sympathy posts. He has virtually hugged some of the nicest people I know, and thus carries all sorts of positive cooties. (We believe in the Law of Contagion.) Hope he helps.

I believe in the Law of Contagion! :-)

More hugs...

And sympathy. We've lost track a bit lately...catch me up? Seen posts, but obviously more to know.

Re: More hugs...

As it's not directly my battle, I'm keeping it off LJ ... see my email...

*huggles* stress not good... can I recommend a long hot bath/shower and some soothing music follwed by curling up with a good book and more music and a good movie, and maybe a comfrting drink? Or some mindless fun over at popcap games, Zuma is keeping my brain nicely distracted of late...

I was trying all those hot soothing curdled up things, and finding that the panic came back. Now I've managed to build a padded mental wall to block it off a little... I know intellectually that I can't control all the problems in the world, but I still haven't learned to stop trying too hard...

Mental wall good, padded sneaky. A long tiring walk or overdoing it at the gym can help in the too exhausted to give a damn zonk sort of way... *hugs*

Poor tigron! I wish I had a nice purple bear icon to send you virtual solace with - perhaps a virtual virtual bear will do ... consider it delivered.

We might not be able to fix the world through LJ but it is a community. Nice to see that people are sending hugs and good thoughts your way. Here's a whole other bunch from Cork.

Plus sometimes its OK to give yourself permission to be non-constructive. (Hell, I work in a college and people there do it every day, some of the students too.) Sounds like you have enough going on already.

It is a very beautiful purple bear, eh? And LJ has nice community aspects, although I must confess to discontent with the time-lags involved (due to time zones and work commitments, mostly :-)

It took me a long time to learn how to give myself permission to be non-constructive ... but now I feel like I've almost gone too far the other way. Ah, for a happy compromise...

LJers love each other very much.

Big Hug!

(I know, too much Tellytubbies)

Giggle :-)

Boo to stress and legal difficulties. Here's hoping that things work out for you, and that you'll be able to relax a bit.

The party, and all these kind comments, helped quite a lot :-)
