Snow, Snow, Snow

Well, winter has officially started, I think! I am not opposed to the thought of a surprise return to summer, but it does not look likely! I traveled to and from a concert last night in the snow/rain/ice and it was not fun! But I saw Gordon Lightfoot and the concert was good.

I am feeling a mixture of emotions today. I have talked a lot with my friend that I reconnected with and we basically picked up where we left off. I am happy when I talk with him. I feel optimistic and confident that things will work out. I feel that way when I talk with my friends and when I IM and email family. Then I talk with my mom. Throughout my life, I have always felt love and support from her. But lately, I am feeling stress and pressure. I know she is worried that I have not found work. She is worried and stressed out. But when we talk she puts all her stress on me. It pushes me to the edge of what I can handle...and sometimes beyond. Typically I end up more upset and in tears after we talk. I try to remain calm, positive, and optimistic with her, but it is hard to do!!!

Not sure what I can do about it...
