I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I am home on a work-sanctioned hooky day! AKA Patriots Day. I go to therapy tonight! I found out there is no co-pay! I am about to eat breakfast! Life is good!

It's the little things.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

{{vw}} I am sure you are doing the right thing.

Enjoy your day off, Nora!

Also, hippo birdies to beth b!

Happy Birthday, beth!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

vw--You're completely doing the right thing. Hard but right.

Our wings are not tired.

vw - I will be thinking of you all day. Bless you, you are doing the right thing. I'm sorry you have no other options.

A girlfriend (was my Matron of Honor) sent me a picture she took of me in the office where we worked. It must be about 1988, when I was 35. The message header was "My goal for you this year." Huh I think she might be saying I need to get off my fat ass and start working out. This GF did 2 marathons with me and wants to do more. I'm feeling a little inspired because it seems like yesterday.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

{{vw}} I think it is the right thing. I'm sorry you even have to think about this.

That picture inspires me Laura.

thanks for the birthday wishes

A few weeks ago I bought these fabulous purple mugs from Pottery Barn. I love big mugs for my morning coffee, and I decided it was time to retire the snow man mugs till next winter. Just now, as I was washing dishes, I dropped one of the purple mugs and broke it. This is how I know I'm stressed. I totally broke down about the stupid thing. I'm still crying. I know it's not really about the mug, but that's what set me off. It seems so totally stupid.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
