[QUOTE="nvts, post: 142168, member: 3814"] Hey Steely! I don't think you've taken on enough! Can I drop the 3 demons off to you while I lounge around eating bon-bons on the couch? Give yourself a "mental break" for a few minutes. It's so normal to "overdo" and "over-undertake" things after such a terrible loss. It's also easy to notice how unbalanced and unhinged the rest of the world is. I call it "validating my existance". Whenever we have something go wrong, it seems to come in 3's. I don't know how many have that "old Irish Family" piece of wisdom, but once one thing goes wrong, we look for the other two. Once the "bad luck comes in 3's" you have a bit of a break. Now the trick is: get to 3 - FAST! And that's really easy to do. Just figure out a 3rd thing that's gone wrong, and you'll officially be on the upswing! Have you bumped a toe? Have you gotten cut off on the road? Have you been trapped in the house by a Moose like Totoro? I'm ditto-ing the others! You're perfectly normal with what's going on... now... what time do I drop off the demons? Beth [/QUOTE]
