I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You are a genius! It popped right off, no tools needed. That would never have occurred to me.

See, this is why I will keep whining about my petty problems; people often come along and solve them for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is the truth, though. Not that you're whining, but telling people every little thing is often useful!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Or funny: Instead of my renewed driver's license, today's mail brought my first solicitation from AARP. It's only a week early, but still, I soooo wasn't ready for that.

Heh, I started getting those when I was barely legal to drink.

Speaking of aging...

I cannot sleep through the night without some really crappy too-hot-to-continue moment. Is it possible that I am having hotflashes but only at night? Doesn't happen during the day. (yet).

In other news, yesterday was the last coumadin day!

Yay for the end of coumadin!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay to the last of coumadin, Kat! I don't have a clue about the hot flashes, though.

a "fidget piece," which for the last 30 years has been a spoon-shaped piece of wood about 1" x 2" originally intended to be a keychain fob. It helps me deal with anxiety and nervous energy.

Yes, this, exactly.

We are a collective of knowledge and experience. I come here first, usually, if I need to know things.

Happy to hear no stroke, tommy. And a funny doctor is rare and must be kept. Unless he screws up otherwise. (I love that poem, -t!)

I'm glad the guy found you, ita. It sounds like a very good working arrangement for both of you. Plus, a little fun and fan stuff.

Suzi--that's really good effort on CJ's behalf, I'm glad the Adderall is helping. It's so hard to feel you never make any progress, no matter how hard you try.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Kat, I don't know, but I have it too.

Because books.

Sadly, that's a yes, Kat.

Hmmm... interesting. It sort of blows, but is perhaps better than hotflashes.
