Crisis Over

OK. Deep breaths taken, small nap as well. Reflection. Long walk. Crisis over.

Even if I didn't find TWO spanish teachers tonight (who knows if either/both will actually keep their appointments) I think I would have been able to regain my sanity. Sometimes, even when we know we are hurting ourselves (mentally, emotionally), we still are unable to change course midstream. Thankfully, I'm at least getting a bit better at it. (See Paean to Gertrude below, if you like.)
