Thanks so much 2Cute, Thin, Tammara, and everyone else who offered their kind wishes. I don't want to dwell on this stuff on this thread, but I think I'll do an off-topic venting thread for a little while.
Things generally not too bad today; ate well, though I've decided to give myself a little more time before I try to get serious again--this trying every day and failing every other day is getting old. I'm focussing on getting my book revisions done in the next week and a half, and I'll do the best I can with eating, but I'm not going to commit to getting really serious until that's done.
I have baby foxes living in the ravine behind my apartment building again this year; this morning one was curled up in my drive way taking a nap. Cute as anything, even if they are a bit scary. I took a picture of the napper and I'll post it when I get my photos downloaded.
Tashabella--Sounds like a tough time at work... any prospect of moving to another department or another company any time in the near future? You deserve better, and it doesn't sound like there's much hope of getting it where you are.
Esmaraude--I used to have a hubby who did the same thing. I wish I had some good advice--I tried and tried to get him to stop, but it was clearly something he had learned to do to be "nice" to me. I think it's one of those things that we can't change by asking, because it's hard for people to believe we're changing, but maybe some unexpected behavior would get his attention--I don't know, calling the neighbor and asking if their kids would like the pizza?
Thin--Sure it's not allergies? This is the season for them, that's for sure.
Barb--You can never start over too many times. Every time you need to, that's exactly how many times you should. (Said as an addicted re-starter myself.)
Dogpal--I'm so glad you have such a supportive dad! That's really special.
Leanne--Where are you, dear? Are you lurking somewhere? I miss you!
