| « -Material girl | A distressing event » |
It has been a long tome since I did not post anything, I have been away for work, then unfortunately,my computer decided to break down! that was extremely frustrating, I rely a lot on my computer, admitedly I am a bit of an internet addict! However, I took it in my strde and did not get too worked up about it, becoming a ball off stress will not help, so I left it well alone for a whole weekend, today only, I was prepared to call the technical helpline, but as soon as I switched it on, I heard the little singing tone that announces that all is working well, what a relief! I still do not know what went wrong, but since it has "healed " on it's own accord, I 'm happy and keep my fingers crossed.
No major disrtuption occured in my life this week, or at least, no visible one. I read a Ruth Rendell novel , should I really read novels like that, knowing that they play on the reader's anxiety? Toxic, or therapeutic? Anyway, when I got to the part when the main character conceals the body, followed by delusions that all will be well, illusions soon to be dashed by faer of being found out, I did recognise myself. Of course, I did not kill anybody, the burden I am concealing is a big bundle of letters, that used to pile up at the front door, but about a week ago, I crept out in the dark, grabbed themwithout looking, avoiding looking at them at all cost, and stuffed them all inside a shopping bag., and then stuffed the shopping bag inside a travel bag.....and yes, I did feel better, so much better that I have actualy been able to get out and about a bit more this week, out of sight , out of mind, I know, I am being totally delusional,because I can't see it, it does not mean the thing is gone, I despise myself for being so naive, but relish in thev little bit of freedom I gave myself, the days are getting longer, the weather is warmer, the squirrels are out, and so am I!
And then, sometimes, when there is a gap in the day, a moment with nothing to read, nothing to watch on tv, nothing to eat, the reality , the enormity of what I did hits me in the face......so I try to leave no gaps , no cracks in between sleep, food, and distractions, so the monster will not come back to the front line, but it is still there, lurking in the shadows.....

Sometimes we have to be naive in order to protect ourselves and keep on going.
