It’s not easy to complain all the time

So a friend of mine just blogged that she lost her job after the people who hired her were axed. She’s been suffering from some really bad karma and mentioned that she doesn’t like to complain too much because it just gets tiresome.

I know how she feels. My silence on this blog hasn’t been because all of a sudden things have been rosey and wonderful…more like the opposite. The thing is, though, I get sick of talking or thinking about it. I imagine what other people might think: oh lord, here comes that Job family again.

I’ve been doing lots of stuff to try and forget my worries:

*I play computer games
*I read
*I blog about anything else
*I obsess about my favorite TV program
*I play with my cats
*I daydream about living in a nice little cottage by the beach–with just DH and he and I are both free from pain

The most recent woes I prefer not to think about:

*We can’t pay our bills because there’s not enough income coming in
*DH is suffering so from pain and depression. It’s very discouraging not to be able to help and painful to watch him go through this
*OSD wants us to write character letters to keep her out of jail
*YSD bought a LEMON with the return she gypped TLG’s dad out of. I guess there’s a certain justice in that.
*DOD has been having some real profound mood swings lately
*I’m still on an emotional seesaw myself. In fact, I sort of feel manic and haven’t been sleeping
*My parents’ computer still doesn’t work right and something is up with my brother because he’s fed up with everything and trying to get a new job and move out of state

So now I’m going back to my computer game. I know it’s after midnight and I only got 4 hours of sleep last night but what am I gonna do?
