Suzy’s Top Five Reasons For Not Blogging

Published by at 6:45 pm under Uncategorized

Suzy’s Top Five Reasons For Not Blogging:

1. Mom’s death hit me harder than I thought it would. In addition to working through the grief, I’m also working through the regret and guilt of not being a better daughter to her.

2. I’m selling my apartment. Any takers? I’d love it, since….

3. I’m broke and have the overdraft to prove it. I now understand how those English aristocrats can live in a castle, but not have enough money to pay the milkman. That’s how it is when all your money is tied up in real estate and not cash. And have failed to achieve idle wealth (the best kind).

4. The happy pills from the doctor aren’t making me happy. It’s an expensive, yet unenjoyable drug habit (the worst kind).

5. All this is making me suspect that the premise of the delightful comedy My Name Is Earl is correct, and all the bad things keep happening to me because of all the bad things I’ve done. If I followed his example, my list would take the rest of my life – and that’s just the stuff I remember.

Now I’m really scared.

    Well, just remember all the good things you did! I do – like writing and ilustrating books when we were kids. Being the bountiful aunt to my kids – they love you dearly, so you must have done something good!

    You will need:
    1. Time
    2. Hugs
    3. More time
    4. To laugh
    5. Courage

    1 and 3, you have to give to yourself and that’s not easy. 2, that’s what we’re here for. 4, watching Earl is a good start. And 5, you already have this.

    I know when things are all dark and the happy pills aren’t working words from people can’t necessarily fix it all for you but – we’re out here for you if you need us and we all think you’re a superstar (regardless of what you might think right now, we’re right).

    After reading your comments, it looks as if you have a good support network.

    And that’s a good thing.

    My name is Earl is cute. We watched it this week, and it certainly is lifelike.

    Thinking of you.
    Try different pills if those aren’t working. It can help.

    Mourning is hard work. I still mourn my Mom.
