I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Thanks all.

I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Back to work alas and the test does not seem to be the source of my anxiety. Or if it was, the anxiety has not left my body yet. Weird dreams continue and jittery innards. I have therapy tomorrow so will discuss.

Bummer msbelle. I hope it was the cause and your body just needs another day to catch up or something. I had weird stress dreams last night including one where I had taken a job at a new company where I had to go in to the office but somehow I hadn’t quit my current iob? And I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep the new one but I could t figure out how I was going to juggle this and it was very stressful.

Whoops, the body shop found more damage to my car and now the insurance company is totaling it rather than repairing it.

It's not a super-big deal, because we've been talking about getting by with only one car, but now I have to decide how I feel about it.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Dana, that still sucks, because it's one more thing to deal with.

My Monday-morning tapioca brain has extended into the afternoon, which is unfortunate, because I have shit to get done no matter what state my brain is in.

Always Anti-fascist!

Sometimes I think it's summer that does that, Tep, but I'll hope for you that it's Monday because that's shorter. Hec, insent. I found a thread of me and Jacqueline in e-mail and I thought you might want to haz.(It's just about writing and stuff, not, like, girl talk or anything. Not that for-real girl talk ever got me anything but permanent Vandella status anyway, but you know what I mean.)

I’m feeling like such a bad mom right now because I’m missing the last softball game of ltc’s season. ltc is being surprisingly understanding about it. I’m having the worst anxiety right now ( I have no idea why) and I just can’t.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, sj. That's right, you can't right now. And ltc will understand. Be gentle with yourself. Hugs.

She’s been wonderful about it. She has anxiety too. So, she gets it. She’s grown so much.

You've raised a compassionate child. I'm glad you are there for each other.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda didn't even let me attend any of her games this year.

Also, I wasn't at the game where Emmett hit his first grand slam.

After my dad stopped coaching, neither of my parents went to any of my baseball games and I liked it that way. I liked having my own world.
