I don't think you make anyone eyerolly, Nora, but I also don't think it's necessarily healthy to keep everything bottled up. Can you rant in LJ and mark the posts private? I usually find that if I write things down, even if no one reads them but me, it's cathartic.
I mean, she needs to be amongst her people.
Heh. Even funnier because Stephen and I are in the middle of watching The Departed (in the middle because halfway through the DVD wnt kerflooey and we're getting a new one from NetFlix), and loving Matt Damon's Boston accent.
Wow, that would be serious thrall. Could happen though...it would be like Sports Night Pygmalion fic.
Well, I was just glad they sent Stepford Anchor back to the bush leagues(He's already affected my metaphors, huh?)ETA: Yum...love when Matt gets all Boston. Very foamy. But I'm a horrible person cause the bug was looking for headache relief, but I read "drugs" and , thanks to my avocation, was all "I dunno...Roxbury?" I'm gonna end up in Special Hell, maybe.
Oh, poor sj! I mostly slept through the night (checked the clock a few times, but rolled over and went back to sleep). Sorry I wasn't around, sweetie.
It's not that big of a deal. I got up played around on the internet, watched TV, and took some advil. When I went back to bed it was TCG's time to get up, so I had the bed to myself and slept until just a few minutes ago.
The other day, I was complaining about the excessive cold snap and my daughter, in her most exasperated tone said, "Mommy, it's March. In like a lion? Out like a lamb."
Aww, too cute! It is too cold here though. When I woke up earlier it said it was 1, and now it is saying it is 5. 5 is not an acceptable tempertature, even for March, imho.
{{{Nora}}} I don't think you're making anyone eyerolly, especially me. This weather can easily increase both depression and aches (which only increases depression). If you don't want to complain here, my profile address is always available.
I am hoping that some QT in Columbus this weekend with my sweet niece and nephew will help shake away some blues as well!
I'm trying not to complain here because I'm afraid that I make people eye-rolly as it is,
Nora has never made my eyes roll.
Speaking of complaining, the guy replacing my deck was supposed to start work late yesterday or first thing this morning. Has he showed up? No. Has he called? No. Does he already have a lot of my money? Yes.

I am sure it will. When I was first depressed, I don't know what I would have done without going to visit my older nephew. He never failed to make me smile.
here is fun stuff

the chinese new year celebration at my library
and speaking of no complaining - ther is a church that started a program - the idea is no complaining for 21 days> you put on a purple braclet where it 'til you complain - swicht arms and try again. No one is sure that no complaining is good for you - but the iea is to make the world a better place. Turns out kids have an easier time thatn adults - so complaining is a learned behavior.

I think it's because kids don't own houses.
I think it's because kids don't own houses.
And because kids don't have kids.
And because kids don't have kids.
Amen.
eta - except for those that do and they complain about EVERYTHING.
