I’ve had one of the worst weeks in recent history. It was not the day job, it was not the writing work, rather, it was in interpersonal relations. I had my feelings hurt by a friend, my mother interfered in my law office and my father, poor thing, got to hear all the things that bugged me in my whole life it seems. I feel bad about all these things and I don’t have a clue how to fix any of it. All I know is I feel sad and singularly disgruntled.
It’s been a week of wishing I was on a desert island with no communication with anyone. Sometimes I think that might be better. I like to laugh and interact with people but this week, I should’ve been a hermit. I don’t think I want to have another week like this one. Ever.
Southern Sizzle blog has an interview with Sue Perkins who I had here a couple of weeks ago. Check her out: http://southernsizzleromance.wordpress.com/

Ah, crud. I hate weeks like that. And we all have them. Sigh. I hope that your friend recognizes her mistake, your mother recognizes, well, that you’re an adult. And thank goodness for your father, eh? Hang in there, Jillian. It’s a momentary abberation in life. It’ll pass. And it’s fodder for the tough scene we all have to write sometime.

thanks Laurie. I had a dear friend call and she helped me put the hurt of the other friend in perspective. And, yeah Thank God for my dad. I do feel bad that he got an earful but he’s always been my rock. And yeah, I already mined it for the current story!

I’ve had times like this. Thankfully not to often. You’re brave to post it. For me I’m rethinking the ‘friend’. Life is too short and there are times I need to some weeding.
As for you mother, ummmm that’s being a mom and I think times like this with mine were lessons for me with my kids. She passed away 16 years ago an somehow the times she overstepped don’t seem so important anymore. And, like you my father was the anchor, always there for me.
Hang in there, this to will pass.

Thanks for the support, Lavada. My friend that called me when she read that I was upset suggested the same thing – that person is not a friend at all.
And I know that about my mom in my head but when she does these things it hurts my heart You know?

I know those days and weeks well, and I was glad to see in your next post that good things seem to be happening in spite of it. Hang in there!
