ceara, those heathens won't even share with you? I think our old Rusty was waiting for her master to give her permission to eat the rabbit and she certainly looked confused when he got upset with her. I felt a teensy bad for her. She had tried so hard to please him. Sometimes I felt the same way

Hello all.....

SOrry to be gone so long again.... sticking my head in quickly to say hello to all and to BRAG!!!
Monday, I was literally blindsided by the news that I HAVE BEEN PROMOTED>>>>
Totally unexpected. I knew it was close to time for the 'raise' notification and was hoping I would be a good sport about 4 % ( and didnt know how I could keep a straight face if it was less than 4%)....
I was so shocked I had to go back once to make sure I knew exactly what the the title is ( its Senior Licensing Analyst rather than just Licensing Analyst) and then again today I had to clarify what part of the increase was being prorated.....I am swinging between being very happy vs suddenly feeling lots of pressure ...... that a lot more will be expected of me.....
The fun part will be tomorrow when the paycheck shows up in the bank account.
amazing what a year can do for you.

anyway, enough about me....

I too, have had my own 'supernatural' experiences but nothing close to what you described Anagram.
I'm hoping things look a little brigther fro you.... and I think a big part of what your feeling is CABIN FEVER.... The good news is that if you are feeling "trapped" you are really improving.....Bad news is I would be bored too waiting for the washer to stop running while I'm shredding stuff.......
BUT, you are decluttering! Sorry...guess that's not funny....
Things will turn around .... I know it seems like forever but you really are making a fast recovery!!


Ceara..... what are you feeding the heathens??? This pet food recall/poison/melamine/ recall stuff has me feeding our mutt only "people food"....

Wood Nymph.... yikes regarding your sister's $$$ issues..... and 10 yrs is a bit overdue even if you think you don't owe anything.....


WSW... bundle up, we're in for collllldddd weather again!@

I found this today and enjoyed it....
Hope you do


"If you're feeling blue.....

Try breathing".......


Good night all....

Good morning, Queenlies! I've managed to squeeze off another two --- which gets me 1 from tracker. Nevertheless, down it is and soon I'll be in (recent) virgin territory (only a few years, but still...)

We got through the immediate crisis with DS and I have hopes that she'll be able to pull it out of the fire with the little pu$h we gave her. Apparently there's a big demand for substitute teachers and she's going to try to do that to survive.

I'm happy to say that despite feeling hugely stressed and not sleeping well a few nights I never went off-P. (Where's that "patting self on back" smiley?)

We're celebrating DS birthday today so it'll be nachos and beer for dinner. No cake for me, though.

Kaylets, WTG!!!

I'm so thrilled for you! It seems like all your luck has been -- um, challenging, to say the least lately. You'll do GREAT!

Anagram, thanks so much for your wise words! They helped a lot and I really feel a lot better.

K, Lovelies -- I've got a shipload of work to get through and DS' birthday dinner to prepare for. Love to all!
