Jennifer, I'm sorry about your mother and hope you had fun finding fall flowers.


GoGo2, thank you for the helicopter technique, it looks like a good thing to bookmark. I heard an interesting technique recently. The gist was to think about your problems in the third person, addressing yourself by name instead of as 'I' or 'you.' I haven't tried it yet.


Floors... my kitchen floor really needs to be scrubbed and I keep putting it off. We talked about heading out of town for the weekend or at least one day but I am not sure either of us are really that interested in the idea. I think I am not going to commit to much today aside from doing the floor and mailing a letter.
