Jabberjabberjabber

Someone I knew could use a favour, and I am in two minds whether to volunteer or not.

The very fact I even think about volunteering shows I have come a long way on this one, for we have history and it's not easy.

But when all is said and done, all I have is the right kind of mindset. No other prop is on my hands, I have no money to spare, it feels a bit uncomfortable, I suspect it would be greatly misunderstood, it would really put pressure on this little project, and as far as I can see, the problem will be easily solved without me going anywhere near it. Let well alone.

I am just indulging in a little mental bustle, delaying the inevitable, because any jabber is preferable to trying to understand this scary software. I want this project done, done, done and I really don't have much time. I am also terrified by the latest expenditure from our mutual account. It's completely un-necessary though very pretty, and I am panicking over it.

No slacking, boot! Get to work! To work! To...Oh, OK, have another cup of coffee...

Things get better if people try. The question is inevitably about fear and effort and what people want to achieve. Some actions are inappropriate, and only make matters worse.

I feel this may be a case in point for me, can't be sure, don't want to be ungenerous...and maybe this suspicion is a residue of ungenerous feeling...but as all I have to go on is my intuition, I feel the nearest I can come to helping in this matter is suggesting the issue to peeps who might be able to help/enjoy what there is to be enjoyed.

*shrug* in the end, it's really none of my business.

I hope I've not misinterpreted what you're talking about

Reading that tugged a few heartstrings.

You are lovely.

Do not let your heart strings be pulled - that was not my intention!

The post was just the usual froth off the top of my head, diverting me from getting to work. And here I am, still not getting any work done cos I prefer to read/respond to LJ comments!

That you are thinking about it shows the lovely person you are, but I cannot help but thinking this is very similar to a thunderstorm CD quandry I had a few months back.

I cannot remember exactly your words, and with the amount I write, it would be pointless to search for the post, but you made me see, very simply and beautifully, that sometimes when there are such situations, that the best gift you can give sometimes is nothing.

Things don't always get better if people try...sometimes they only get worse because your perceived motive is so far from the real one. And then all you are left with is disappointment, a wish you'd not made the effort, and more upset.

If by coincidence it's the person who could do with the favour I'm thinking of, I was tempted to offer help on too, but thought of your words a couple of months back

I had pretty much made up my mind to stay away in my original post, but the following ones have confirmed it as a sensible approach.

Strange how, when I listen to my inner bat, I get all the answers I need...
