Damn! The cumulative lack of sleep is starting to get to me. I went to bed at midnight & was up at 3 o'clock...add that to the diminished sleep I've been experiencing lately & I'm startingto feel kind of sluggish. I hope I'm not going to be:



Things just don't feel right.

@BethRags...I've been in the same insecure spot you're in, but I'm sure your cousin would enjoy seeing you no matter what your self-image is right now. I won't diminish your anxiety, however, as I understand your perspective on that.

@Jennifer 1967...I'm so sorry to read of your brother's prognosis. Yes, you surely can't go to Florida now, but I'm glad you're eyeing some mini-vacations to take care of yourself. I also liked what you posted about your new spot by the stream a few days ago. That's self-care, too.

@Sapien...It's frustrating when therapy seems unsatisfactory. Whether exercise, meditation, or another outlet, I hope youcan find some lasting peace.

@peachiee23...It so good to read that your depressive period has passed. I'm also glad your outlook on the future is pretty positive. Hope is a good thing.

@mssweatypalms...I don't know how you manage to live in tropical heat. You're pretty much used to it, though. The way I read things, your outlook on life is slowly changing for the better. The fact you didn't experience a crying spell is progress. I surely hope you're able to focus more clearly in the classroom.

For anyone I didn't give an "@" to, you're in my thoughts, as well. Hang tough, comrades.
