Lots of pressure, house full of guests (some easy some difficult) not a moment to myself as they take refuge from hurricane and power outages (WHY don't some of these people know ANYTHING about derech eretz? ... and these are my friends!).
Now that the crowd has gotten smaller, I go to check my email, etc, and I am drawn to places I should not go online. So, instead I am here to vent, to express, to decompress. I really see that a lot of it is about escapism! (Like many addictions (all?)) and I am glad I can just take some time to post here until the urge passes.
I think I just need to decompress and relax. Maybe take in a movie, read a book, get some exercise, maybe a nap. If I am ranting it is because I hope to reflecft at this time and move away from the urge to log on, look in, get lost and flush my success down the intertoilet.
I am on day 8. "Eight are the days of a bris," as we sing at the Seder. May I have the strength to guard the covenant and relationship I have witgh the Ribbono shel 'Olam!
I am already breathing a little easier. Thanks, everyone, for eing ther for me!
Stay safe!
