28 months and counting...

today:  could only leave the house to walk winston even though i desperately needed to go out to the bank.  i did manage to make one of the dreaded phone calls that i've needed to make for weeks re: my school loan.  couldn't get it deferred but i did get the payment reduced.  not that it really matters - i can't pay it.
 
i'm so tired of constantly feeling the effects of the flood.  not just once in a while - but ALL THE TIME.  it still rules my life.  the unfinished house, the unpaid bills, the stress, the anxiety, the feeling of being in danger 24 hours a day, the inability to do the little things, the constant and overwhelming FEAR. 
 
i remain exhausted and i continue to struggle with debilitating headaches (one of the reasons i couldn't go out today, i was afraid to drive with my head hurting this bad.)  i have to go out tomorrow for my therapy appointment and the promised trip to my brother's for the tennessee football game.  here's hoping i can make it. 
 
i keep being reassured that my only mistake in how i'm coping with the flood is the misperception that 2 years is enough time to recover from having everything ripped away in a matter of minutes.  it seems like a ridiculously LONG time but i'm assured that i lost a LIFETIME and that 2 years is only the beginning.  GREAT!
 
grace and peace
