that way again:
like a scalp needing to be scrubbed
like a plant thirsty for rain
like a head pounding from hunger
like a pot boiling louder, higher
This happens periodically:
the waste builds
the sunglasses get lost
the third interruption yet again
the wait for the bathroom
the unending stream of dishes, laundry, dinners, dishes, laundry, dinner
the constant and consistent requests for more, can you do... can you do... can you do...
I'm close to blowing:
brow is furrowed
eyes averted
cabinets slammed
long breaths out over and over and over
low growling
One day:
I will catch this sooner
change course faster
take a break two days ago

my blog of Hep C - starting 5 months into treatment, 6 months post, and on to SVR.

About Me
Healthy, strong, optimistic, and still surprised to learn I had Hepatitis C for who knows how long (viral load 11,700,000; genotype 1b). But finally after some seriously big decisions, 48 weeks of killing treatment, and 6 months of waiting, I'm now SVR (as of 9/21/07) and that means I did it.

Oh, Ample. I know these feelings you're having. And not they're not good feelings.
Yes, somehow you have to figure out how to get a break before YOU break.
I'm thinking about you, sending soothing thoughts.
Like that'll help, right?
Are you getting enough sleep and are you eating okay? These are the basics. Make sure they're covered.
Being at home with a child is the hardest thing there is. No one believes that unless they've done it.
Sleeping fine, eating could be better (that's part of it I'm sure). Home with the child is great, wonderful and ALL consuming! Break before I break.... that's so right on. Soon. Gotta make it to the weekend though.
Thanks for the soothing thoughts :)
Hey Ample, I hear jolly old England is a good place for a break...I know this bloke who has a couple of kayaks and lives right by a pretty river:)
Whatever you do my friend...do it for you!
