i'm wondering if this is a wise decision...

Okay.

the apartment is nowhere near clean, I am nowhere near packed, and my overriding thought is 'bathtub'.

I am stressed to the max. And I think I'm going to take an extra day in Oakland to clean the place up and get myself together. The recent news of what's going on in my family is making me rather upset, and jillcaligirl's reaction to the news from up north is to demand that I get myself together *now* and head north. (To be fair, she's technically my ride home, I usually train out to Davis and then catch a lift home with her.)

I need the extra day, to the point I'll tell my sister to drive home herself and I'll be up on my own come Sunday.

it's about all I can do. it's either that or make myself useless for two weeks because I've just dug too deep in my energy reserves.

Good luck. I'd take the time. Better to be a day later and not totally wrecked, if it's not something like a funeral that you want to be there on a certain day.

*hug* Do what you have to for you, katty-kat. You know your inner state better than anyone else does.

Good for you

-for doing what you need to do to take care of yourself...it's not like you'll be able to do anything for anyone else if you're exhausted (mentally, physically or emotionally) in any event, and I'm so proud of you for knowing that. Hugs offered.

Putting yourself first as necessary isn't a crime. Right now it's necessary.

Take your time, kat. There is enough time, and becoming 'ready' is more important than getting there fast. Take care, and take care of yourself.
