serenejournal is having, as she calls it, "a day". Being in an LDR really sucks when your sweetie is having a rough day and you can't give her a hug or get her some iced tea and a tomato sandwich. Maybe even smack around her bosses for making things more difficult. Not that I could do all of those things even if I were close, but dammit I'd find a way to do some of them for her.

Nevermind, my live-in is also having "a month" that I don't seem to be able to help with much either. And let's not get into what my blood family is going through. Most everybody is out of work with no prospects in the near future. I'm feeling especially overwhelmed and impotent today. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Seems to be going around today. *sigh*

[stonebender.livejournal.com]

Yeah, doesn't particularly help to have company does it?

[intenselaura.livejournal.com]

No, it definitely doesn't. I just hope that when I go out tonight, I'll find distraction rather than finding others having a similar day.

[stonebender.livejournal.com]

*nod* I hope you do too! *crossing fingers*

My sympathies, there's definitely a lot of that kind of thing going around. :-(

I'm sure your support and concern etc. mean a lot and make a lot of difference to serenejournal even if you can't be together physically right now.

Thanks Tané, I hope it gets better for everyone soon!

I think if he knew how much his caring and concern meant to me, he'd get a swelled head, so Shhhhhh! :-)

[stonebender.livejournal.com]

You swell my head just fine love. :-)

I didn't know that you like Sonic Youth!

Sympathies on the chaos roiling around you. :(

Ah, I am a dark mysterious pool ... :-) Besides you can't learn everything about me in a few months.

Thank you. I'm mostly frustrated because there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to help. I hope things are going better for you.

Things are going pretty well out my way. chiefted starts a new job tomorrow. In October, I'll start looking for a job m'self. I'd start now, but I have to go back out to Florida to help out with my grandfather first.

I think it's really cool that you're going down to San Diego. I wish you lots of luck on the trip and lots of happiness at the terminus.

Thanks! Congrats to chiefted on the new job and its good to hear you're feeling up to getting a job again. Great news!

I'm right there with you. And, sometimes, when I'm traveling, indyansel has the same complaint, and we're not in an LDR.

But LD support helps, I know. I'm sure just knowing you're there for her helps her.

*nod* I certainly hope so.

A general-purpose *seeble* on that.

Those of us who have the Caretaker Gene get very, very frustrated when there's Not A Damned Thing We Can Do, don't we?

[stonebender.livejournal.com]

*familial chuckle* Yes we do!

[firecat]

It's that "not enough caretaking to go around" thing. Euw. Sympathies.

[stonebender.livejournal.com]

I prefer the term caregiving, but yeah, definitely, "Euw". Thanks.

You do know, don't you...

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

...that ranting to you on the phone does me a TON of good? I'm just sorry it makes you feel powerless. You are a huge help, love, and I'll take you up on the tea and sandwich in September. *kisses*

Re: You do know, don't you...

Well, with moving and all, we haven't gotten much of the ranting done either. I am glad to be what ever help I can be. I didn't mean to suggest that your "ranting" was any kind of a burden. It isn't. I had just had a conversation with my sister. Which required a call to my mom and I found out how much was really not going well for so many of the people I love.
