You poor thing! I am sending bad thoughts at your brother's girlfriend for getting you guys sick!!!! Of course, because you are sick you are having a cruddy months end at work (and years end isn't it?). Blech!

Par for the course for us, you are doing lousy, so I am really good. The sleepies have worn most of the way off, I got a pretty good nights sleep (without chemical assistance from ambian) last night, and am really cheerful today. I am counting down til Friday when I go camping. Money is looking ok (not good, but ok) for the month, so I am able to get all the things I want to get for the trip this weekend. Did I mention that I can't wait and am excited for the trip???? It is going to be fun. I was chatting with my friends last night and I KNOW it is going to be wild No Matter What. I made my ever-famous "bite me" comment and WOW did I get some responses. LOL!

Sparks are flying a bit (nothing major YET) between me and a guy in my guild on EQ. I am (as always) very reserved about a computer relationship, but he may be coming up here in a month or two - has relatives in Chicago (he lives in Texas right now). See what happens. As for the guy here at work - who has a freaking clue. He is playing some game and I don't play those.

At any rate, Things are good here, and will be with you soon!! We need to both be good and happy at the same time again!!!!! Hang in there and get over this crud!

LOL - you are too funny - want to be me when you grow up! You are already INCHES taller then me!!!

I KNOW and YOU know why you do this to yourself EVERY time you decide to spend a weekend at home. Because you have the same caretaker's disease that I have. Just remind yourself that they were obligated to care for you when you were a child, you have NO obligation to be there for them right now. Realistically, they do NOT need you there. They LIKE having you there. You help them out. But, they CAN manage without you. You DO have an obligation to your husband and son. Even more then that, you have a MAJOR obligation to YOU! Yes, you. I know you HATE the idea that You come before ANYONE or ANYTHING but too dang bad. It's time for the frog to turn into a princess. Until you put yourself first, you won't succeed 100%. Try this: if they start trying to make you feel guilty, make THEM feel guilty. It's your anniversary and you have both been sick and you haven't been spending weekends home...etc...etc...etc...etc. Lay it on THICK. You and I know that things are fine with what you are doing, but they don't.

As for the weekend, I will try to be wild enough for both of us I am even going to the (gasp) liquor store. I am going to be exceptionally bad and leave all of my meds at home. I am taking a weekend off from being "healthy" and am going to have FUN. *giggle*

Now, I have to tell you, I am a curse. That's all there is to it. The guy at work did not so much as freaking acknowledge I was here today. Did not even walk past my door to get to the office next to mine. 4 days ago he was calling me to find out if I thought he was good looking (WHY do guys ask women that??? I don't understand it!) and to talk and get to know each other more for HOURS (3 I believe). Now, nada. Jerk.

The EQ guy? OMG - I checked my guild website and supposedly he ticked off someone in the game last night and they booted him out of the guild. It never stops for me. Just keeps getting better and better. I AM questioning it though because they said he was being drunk and belligerant and we talked in the game via IM for an hour and he didn't seem drunk and he wasn't rude anywhere that I noticed. Still, it's par for the course! Good thing I wasn't attached to him yet, so I am still in a good mood!! :)
