Dreadful day

Having a shocking day today - got to work this morning to find that our bank account was overdrawn because the bank didn't transfer funds from our investment account as requested - luckily it wasn't my fault but I still had an "Oh shit" moment when the lady who reconciles the account told me we were overdrawn ! Then I was looking for a journal and knocked a full glass of water on my desk - so there was a mess everywhere. Went to Kim's funeral at 11am - this may sound a little strange, but it was a lovely service - not that I have many to compare it too. But three of his nephews read out poems and e-mails / letters and one of his brothers-in-law did the eulogy which was very good. I don't know how anyone can talk at a funeral.
Now I just want to stuff my face with any sweet thing I can find - I have had some fruit and nuts but I don't know how long I can last. Part of me knows that eating isn't going to make me feel any better - the short term satisfaction is long outweighed by the long term disappointment. So far I have resisted but I don't know if I can manage to keep this up for much longer. I am feeling really drained today and just want to eat, eat, eat - and not carrot sticks either !!!! My eyes are burning and my heart is heavy. Sorry to be moaning today and not having anything inspiring for anyone except hang in there and take care ! I will try to take my own advice today and be good.

Oh you are so inspiring - seriously!! Do your best to stay on track but if you can't manage it you'll be fine too - you'll just have to get back on track later. Some funerals can be lovely - I know what you mean.

Linda. It is a really hard time after a funeral. Make the best choices that you can today and don't allow room for regrets later. You are strong but even the strong can have their down moments.

The heavy heart will go away in a little while. Till then, take care **HUGS**

M said exactly what I was going to say - any day with a funeral in it is not a nice day. Be good to yourself :-)

It's been such a hard day for you today. Funerals are never easy. No wonder you feel drained. Also you are inspring as you have realised what's up and why you are feeling like you are. Take care and hope things look up for you!
