Not much we can say, but we are sending you our best mega-purrs.  We don't
think you whine at all, considering what does go on.  If there's anywhere
where you should feel you can let down your hair and vent, it's here.

It's not any one thing; it's so many little things.  There's a reason
there's a proverb about the straw that broke the camel's back.

I am there right now -- I totalled my beloved car a couple of months
ago and still have painful lumps on my shins, I wasn't allowed to do a
lot of my favorite things over the summer because my wrist problem
came back and I'm still going to a hand therapist twice a week,
Oscar has been sick and has lymphoma, several relatives have been
through tough times recently ...

My personal straw is the change of the clocks, which means that it's
dark well before I leave work.  It makes me exhausted all the time.

Anyway, I think I understand.  It doesn't matter that there are many,
many worse things in the world; what matters is that you are feeling
overwhelmed, and that is a great reason to be gentle with yourself,
rather than beating yourself up or thinking that others will see your
problems as trivial (some will, but so what?).

Lots of purrs and hugs,
Polonca and Soncek
