Hi waterknob, it certainly sounds like you needed the rest
I'm sorry it's been so hard on you though, although really well done on managing to make it up to walk your dog!!! I'm sure you got some appreciation from her/him for that too!!!
Hopefully you've made it to church, and it's helped a bit????
And please don't apologize for being "needy", you deserve support and we're here for you.
And you know what, well be here for you next week as well if it's tough at work.

Alison
