GOOD WEDNESDAY MORNING, BUDDIES!
28
Wed, 11-12-2008 - 8:55am

Wheeeeeeeeeee!  I'm doing the fuzzy robe dance. LOL  I have a class at 10:00, so I'd better get my dancing behind in the shower pretty quickly! 


How was your Tuesday, Buddies?  Did you have a lose-y day?  I made some progress on the whole stress thing, but I still have a lot to do.  I've let things pile up, and it's going to take a while to get through them.


Today is Walksday!  When I got ready to post this, I remembered that I committed to walking last Walksday, and I did, but I never posted it!  Dang!  You'd think I'd remember a thing like that, wouldn't you?  I'm going to make the same commitment today, and I'm going to try really hard to remember to post about it!


What are your Walksday plans, Buddies?  I hope you find yourself walking in sunshine!


((((HUGS)))) - Karen

Happy Hump Day, Karen!

I already left for work and am back, awaiting the slick coat of ice to melt so that the drive won't be frightful. I really have nothing to accomplish there, but I'd hate to use a vacation day 'cause I was too scared to drive. ;o) It should get better....I'll try leaving again in 20min or so.

My Tuesday was very successful, with food, exercise and getting caught up on courserwork. If I put in a great effort tonight I should be almost ahead of the game, with a quiz on Sat., a paper to begin, and another quiz next week.

I hope you have a lot of success getting rid of the "piled-up" stuff. It's such a good feeling to make a start on it....sending hugs and vibes and prayers, buddy. And get some exercise when the stress gets to you (then you'll have something super-positive to keep you going in the right direction)>

Love ya,

((((((Cass)))))))) are you proactively looking for another job, one that "fits" you better? Instead of waiting for the hammer to drop, go out and make sure you can drop one of your own. That may empower you and make you feel a whole lot better. Just an idea (it's what I would do, without hesitation).

Sending strong vibes that you and Bill can just get stuff out in the open and create a really safe place for each other.

I hope you have an exceptionally good-feeling day....you deserve it, hugs,

((((((Amy))))))) I am sorry you have been so depressed, buddy. I know how insidious that feeling becomes. Don't ever feel like you can't come here and unload, okay?? Our mental health has everything to do with our physical health (and weight loss)...it's all intertwined, and know that you can't bring anyone down. Remember that, please.

That said, you have to do what's best for YOU, even if that means meds, another job, whatever. I am fairly certain each of us has been stuck in a financial crisis, but you WILL find your way through it. I admire you for making up your mind not to incur CC debt. Birthday presents and the like can wait for better times, honestly. No one who loves you would want you sacrificing your family's well-being for them, guaranteed.

I am going to keep you in my prayers that you quickly find your solution to feel better. Please be proactive in finding help....big hugs,

(((Hugs))) Cass, I'm glad your not fired. I hope things get back on track or something. I'm not sure how to do that. I'm struggling to not slack as well. It is very hard to sometimes, specially if you aren't motivated to begin with.

Enjoy the Simple.

(((Hugs))) Amy I'd be depressed too. I can't handle it when I live pay check to pay check, so when money gets tight for me, I start scrounging big time.


Enjoy the Simple.

I love that quote, Rain, and believe it wholeheartedly. Motivation is a choice that we DO have to make daily, it is not some lightening bolt of divine intervention.


Are things any better in your corner of the world?

I'm really tired right now, and I can't stay long. I'm at work - whoops.


I am struggling not to slack right now. It's very hard not to go into shut down mode with things so close to break, and having been through all this thus far.


Enjoy the Simple.
