@Nammu, it's good to have some form of escape.

@Sunflower123, I'm so glad you had a nice time. As for planes and airports, I know two people who are passionate about them...to a very extreme degree. My husband's good friend (that's he visiting today) and my s-i-l's boyfriend. The latter's house has airplane photos and artwork in every single room of his house, creates airplane calendars from his photography, and goes to every air show there is. He dragged s-i-l to one last month. A couple week's back we were in a Bauhaus (like Home Depot) and jokingly photographed a cheesy piece of artwork featuring a plane in relief. We sent it to s-i-l who showed it to the boyfriend as a joke. He begged us to buy it for him. Oh my! S-i-l said she would never move in with him. No room for her amongst the planes. By the way, have you ever heard of the TWA Hotel within JFK Airport in NY City? This is literally a hotel within the airport grounds. Views of planes the best of any airport. And it's really cool, like a museum. Hubby and I stayed there once. It wasn't even that expensive. Hubby swam in the hotel pool with a perfect view of a runway. You can learn about it at Photos | TWA Hotel at JFK Airport
Waiting for food and M is chatting with her fiancée. The TWA Hotel sounds truly incredible! I try to get up to NYC once a year to hit a Broadway show, The Metropolitan and Junior’s for carrot cake cheesecake. I usually stay in midtown Manhattan. I know for sure where I’ll be staying next time (probably February). Thanks for the tip!

Oh, those are nice. I too have a tough time in bookstores. There’s always so much I want.

Ugh. Still have nausea. It doesn’t matter if and what I eat either.

And no I am not pregnant

What is your doubt about?
Well technically it’s a depression clinic for hard to treat depression. If I just had bipolar II or even bp I without psychotic features I wouldn’t worry but the episode over the summer really scared me and I need to have a doctor experienced enough to treat that. The eval dr was really nice and seemed capable so I’ll get to meet my actual APN on Tuesday and see what she says and decide if I can trust her.

I hope you do get to see or stay at the TWA Hotel. I'll say that it's not that quick or inexpensive to get to midtown from JFK. We stayed there just for one night since our flight left JFK fairly early in the morning. If you have a morning or early afternoon flight, the TWA Hotel might be nice for that last night stay. If the weather is warm, bring your swimsuit for sure. The pool is very nice with outstanding views of the planes taking off. Truly amazing!

If I were you, I'd stay closer to where you want to tour in the city for the main part of such a trip. Just don't don't do what my husband and I did last year and stay in Newark, NJ. It was miserable there. A tragic slum around there and a long uncomfortable subway trip.

Aurelius, my husband and I were talking about wanting to see Amsterdam, just the other day. Now I'm super eager to go. Hopefully you'll find a way to outsmart your competition at work. Sadly, sales does require some strategizing and trickery sometimes. But you are clearly not a viscous type. Those types may get ahead to a degree, but there will always be a group of customers that sniff that out and avoid it.

Also excited about the upcoming Netflix movie where Bradley Cooper plays Leonard Bernstein. Called Maestro.

This morning my anxiety was super rough. I guess it was just because of my therapists news. I got up at 1:40 and stayed up. I just had one small Pepsi. I didn't change out of yesterdays clothes. I got up at 5:30 to watch TV. I drank a grande chai iced tea latte and finally I was so exhausted and anxious I took my mid morning prestiq and valium and my noon geodon and slept from 9 or so until noon.

My blood work came back and my hematrcrit is a few points higher then last time. It keeps going up each month. But its just a couple points under to be considered high. But I have all the symptoms so I guess I'll just continue to feel crappy until my next blood test sets it over the edge. I have a couple other low blood levels but she is saying they arent a big deal. I see my endocronolgist in a couple weeks and then my kidney doctor that week too.

Basically I'm just confused if its anxiety or medical. I know my 3 hour nap and limiting my caffeine today made me feel a lot better. Plus I've been getting out of the house without a lot of anxiety. My anxiety seems to be more situational. Like my therpaists situation and returning to work. I don't seem to have just general anxiety for no reason. But I do need to lay off the caffeine.
