did you ever feel

like a millstone around the world's neck?

Yes, indeed -- it's been rather a theme in my own Live Journal these days. But feeling like it and being it are two very different things -- which I urge you to keep in mind when the thought oppresses you as it has me. Remember, there is an entity in the universe who would find it a much-diminished abode were a certain source of the grey silk argyle socks not be be in its accustomed place...

Hugs, dear friend... and best wishes to your family, too.

Sometimes. Lately, though, I feel like the world is a millstone around my neck, and resent it.

ARGH! to quote someone from the other evening.

You are a rock. A foundation rock. Mine.

I don't feel sound enough to be anyone's foundation, including my own.

Then let me be your foundation. For the next year we're covered by my work and if your living with us then that frees up part of my paycheck for broadband access because I won't have to pay childcare. And if I can drum up business for you to go around and clean up computer systems then you're bringing in income as well.

both good points.

And maybe having the pressure to find a job taken off for a while would help cut down on some of the stress that's been spilling over to other things.

Yes. And we're moving in to a ready made support group to with DJ and Pat's friends. There's also mazianni, and Fantom, and Claudia and a few other people we know in the area and it'll be much easier to get to NYC for shopping for exotic foodstuffs and to see ttocs and freetrav. No swamp, no mosquitoes except for three weeks (then the dragonflies come and eat them all). Also we'll be considered local for jobs in the major metropolitian areas.
