I am trying to sit here at home and distract myself from my life. Unfortunately I have Chapin planning to leave the country for a few weeks and asking me, again, if I’m sure I want to move forward with the divorce. I have a whole law school class down the drain and another one looming, plus pressure from my internal angel to skip it and my internal devil saying, “You’ll never finish law school if you don’t move ahead.” Not to mention that I don’t even know if I can handle three classes in the fall when two was so much work over the past year. I have the house sale that has been put on hold while I was in the hospital. We were supposed to get it listed last weekend and now we’re way behind and my house is just not ready. I wanted to pack stuff up but I have a lifting restriction (no more than 10lbs) for the forseeable future. That also made my mother question how I plan to tackle another class starting next week when I can’t even grab my bag out of the car. And I can’t even begin to think about work, of which I’ve missed two weeks and will miss one more, and which has a “no sick leave for 6 months” policy. I haven’t even spoken to HR about short-term disability or other options and am just expecting a ZERO paycheck next Friday, about which I’m not sure what to do. The neighbor decided to change the fence and is hitting me up for half the cost. Meanwhile I’m just floating down that famous Egyptian river…

Fortunately I am surrounded by beautiful flowers and have waves of prayers and support to carry me through. My awesome study partner sent me an Edible Arrangement, complete with some chocolate-dipped fruits (yum!). Sweet New Duck sent me two novels and a Suduko book to keep me occupied. And my Dad took Pumpkinhead and my nanny’s daughters out to see Wall.E. this morning. So I’m going to sit in bed and continue to distract myself with these lovely things and save the worries for Monday.
