Starting Over

I'm snowed in also!  Let's have a pajama party, pop some popcorn and watch some old movies!  Hope your day is going well.  I'm thinking of you!

I've had a horrible day

Hi Lola.  Hope you have a better day today.  Sounds like you are doing great.  Take some time before you make any big decisions about the job...I understand how you feel.

tired of being angry :(

Hi FD!  I'm sitting in the same boat with ya!  I get so emotional sometimes and cry, or so mad and start yelling.  Some days I just don't much care for my company!  The really sad part, is I usually lose it with those I care most about (family), instead of whoever my anger is truly directed to.  Congrats on those 45 days---that is awesome!

Not doing to well.

Thought I had a sinus congestion, but yesterday after lunch I started having trouble catching my breath.  I had to leave my class early and my husband took me to the Dr., and I again have pneumonia
In October I was in the hospitol with it and got the flu and pneumonia shot before leaving.  Now I have it again.  This time it was caught early, got an antibiotic shot and pills and stayed home today (which was a good day to, since it was snow and ice everywhere). 
The one thing I don't crave is a smoke.  Perhaps I'll bounce back better now since I'm not smoking, but I sure feel yucky.....

Not doing to well.

Thanks for the well-wishes, I sure hope HP doesn't see your recommendations!  Heehe. 
I like the idea of a cabana boy bringing me my soup.....is it that tall, dark and handsome cutie in the little black speedo?  If so, I'm gonna play this up for all it's worth....
Still a little wheezy, but I am feeling much better.  I laid around all day and now can't sleep (of course, hubby next to me is like sleeping with a 747, he snores so loud)  I'm going to see how I feel in the morning and then decide if I'm going to work.  Thanks, guys.
ps-I tried to call you back, Sparky.

OMG I can smell again

 My clothes actually smell like my fabric softner, not stale smoke.
My house smells sooo much better (except for the other day when I fried salmon patties).
I have become so hypersensitive to smells, and, unfortunately, like Hot Si, I eat more as well...OMG---have you noticed how good sausage smells as it is cooking?

Hard hard easy hard easy

The calm before the storm....  Expect it to happen.  The storms become less frequent, but their intensity is still there, so don't let your guard down.  Eventually the storms are a rare occurrance; and then just a memory.  That's the place I want to reach......
