My Xmas Stocking

So, I suppose I'll do this too.

Good lord, I hope you're feeling better! I understand the mess with classes - and incompletes. Best luck to you!

[harriet_wimsey]

Oh my goodness, how much could I use Bunter? And he could take care of me the way he did Peter in the early shell shock years. Actually, my old roommate has some Bunter-like qualities, which is probably one reason I miss her so much.

I haven't fainted at all since that first day, and I do seem to be better. Now it's back to all the other stuff that's been wrong with me. I'm certainly ready for Christmas.

which makes it feel less like defeat.

Sweetheart, it's not defeat. Not ever. It's re-planning based on realities, and not everyone comes to grips with that as well as you have. *hugs*

*hugs* Thanks. It's awfully nice to have Mums for friends, because I don't feel much like a grownup right now, and I can use your perspective. But by not finishing this one class, I get an F, and I've never failed anything before.

re-planning based on realities

is FANTASTIC. That is so what I had to do last year. I could just never find a way to say i didnt give up! It was the right choice to leave grad school! cause of...well, this Stuff..with these Things...*waves hands vaugely*.....but they made it really important that i do this....

ha. I knew I loved you.

and yes, Harriet, please remember that you are finishing school, not giving up or totally changing the plan like I did. When I had panic attack -type situtaions about classes, actually finishing them was hell but I couldn't feel normal untill I got rid of those incompletes. So, yeah. don't worry about the Things. Or the incompletes or the F. You'll be a librarian in just 4 classes!

[harriet_wimsey]

Yes, I have learned through all this that I really do want to be a librarian, and I've even been able to narrow it down to working with youth. So that's a plus.

And you definitely made the right choice. You sound so much happier now that you're teaching--you're obviously well-suited to it.

Why are you fainting? That can't be a good thing. :(

[harriet_wimsey]

I don't know! I never actually made it to the doctor, because at first I was feeling too weak to walk over there, and then I was feeling better. I'm hoping it was just a bug of some kind--it would be very strange timing to be a result of my antidepressant.

Things will start looking better soon, I'm sure. Take care!

[harriet_wimsey]

Thanks!

Sweetie! *hugs* I'm glad you have a plan and seem to be managing and adjusting and taking care of yourself. Please be careful -- fainting on the train sounds scary! But yay for the fun weekend. :)
