> Is this a desire to run away from home?I don't know. I've been looking for a circus, but so far I haven't found one I want to join, so...
In other words, I am familiar with a very similar feeling. I know it's a stew of dissatisfaction, feeling overwhelmed, and REALLY needing a vacation. My guess is we're not the only ones to feel something like this. As I folded laundry today, I found myself thinking I'd just go through and throw away EVERYTHING which wasn't in pristine condition. (Marital issues that come up whenever I have to deal with spousal garments.) And I want to throw away ALL the yarn and fabric in the house which doesn't have an IMMEDIATE idea associated with it. And get rid of all the books on the back shelves and many of those on the front.
What I really want, today at least, is to escape from all the stessors I can't tame. I want to move into our guest room, back to my little bed, where I felt safe, secure, and loved by it. (My grandmother's bed.) I want to clean up after me, if I clean up. I want to be alone -- or I want a real marriage, but that's another story...
Anyway, I feel for you, Darling Dinah, and hope this feeling passes without residue.
