A small vent

[WMDinthekitchen]

Perhaps I am a little depressed. Just getting it of my chest. I live with DD who is 17. Lots of circs conspiring just now... We are moving in a fortnight, just across town, so packing etc is in progress. Am not selling the house we live in now but I will be letting it. So, I do not have money problems - my mother died 18 months ago and I inherited her flat which was in an area of inflated property values.

To look forward and cheer myself up I am planning a party for my X0th birthday. I don't want to move (yes, I know it ranks no 3 on the stress scale but I have done it lots of times before), I will miss DD (but of course not saying so, but emphasising the positives of her having done very well at school, her life opening out and progressing etc). My boss is very ill and may not return. I will thus lose my job which I love and which I have had for 12 years (but not bemoaning the fact, just talking about the classes I can go to, the freedom I will have.) No brothers or sisters and a circle of friends who are involved with their families.

Despite the trying, the constantly sounding upbeat, the out-for-a-laugh demeanour I am extremely down about the whole lot. Not expecting anyone to get out the tissues or tell me what I can do or how I will feel better once we have moved. Just letting it out as I have no-one to whom I can do so in RL.

Sounds pretty one-thing-after-another-ish.

You will miss DD but you say we are moving - is she not going with you then?
