Frustrated, But Fine

All the big things in my life—the factors that can have a significant impact on my health, sanity, and emotional well being—are fine. I have no major complaints, but I’m feeling frustrated that Asher has a cold and I can’t do the things I want to be doing. My house of cards, where everyone’s needs and desires are carefully balanced with my own, has collapsed again because of Asher’s illness. I want to be working on the many projects I have going, but I’m not able to get anything done. At the moment, he is parked in front of the TV …

but the moment of peace has passed. It lasted only as long as it took me to type that phrase. Now he’s crying and begging me to leave the computer. He feels crummy and I am having trouble being "present" in the crummy moment with him.
