Also, I checked my email and sneaky coworker had sent me an email asking for my help this week. I let her know all the times I'm available to help. We both Cc'ed boss.

This is called taking the high road. I plan to stay on it.

I would not want t anywhere near this thing. I want to hide in it in her office and peak out just to talk. Oh, and it's only for me...no other clients or t allowed to use it. I am sure my t would allow this...never.

I had a nice day today! I went with my daughter and kids to an activity with a petting zoo and pony rides, the kind that go in a circle. We weren't sure if my grandson would go on the pony, but he did, and loved it! My d had to go round and round with him, of course. I hope my pictures came out; it was too sunny to see! We are having Indian summer, but with nicer weather than we had all summer!

I'm a miserable crampy mess (sorry TMI I know) on the couch. Watching Sons of Anarchy Season 3 and trying to find the energy to knit....which is pathetic because really, how much energy does it take to knit?!

today has been odd. I went to church with my family. My son is taking classes, thinking of joining this church. My husband is really upset about it. My husband is being a big boo-baby and it's ticking me off. We came home and my daughter and my husband both offered to go horseback riding with me, but when it actually came time to go, both were whining about being tired. I just feel so down and tired.

I ended up falling back on my old coping mechanisms from when I was really depressed: baking. I made a homemade peanut butter sheet cake with peanut butter icing. My daughter says it's so amazing that it's the best dessert she's had ever. So then I made homemade biscuits and now I'm making a homemade chicken pot pie. The biscuits will go on top.

I think my back is going to break in half. I think preparing for cleaners (by getting rid of excess clutter) may actually be worse than cleaning.

I just wish my H would quit huffing and puffing like he's the one who just ran a marathon. I understand his work is mentally stressful (though he gets to sit all day), but he sounds like he is the one who just did heavy manual labor.

My hubby grunts and groans and sighs when he does any house clean, Chopin. I feel for you. It makes me want to punch him in the face.

Hi all.
Good day. Baked bread, watched the Pack, and got the gutters cleaned.
Dinner = grilled baby back ribs with a chipotle pomegranate sauce, fresh herb and garlic mashed taters, broccoli, harvest coleslaw and a Miller High Life.

All the cooking has left my kitchen an absolute mess. Guess I better go do about 4 loads of dishes. Sigh.

Considering I was climbing up and down on a cedar chest in the closet pulling down tons of old clothes...I wanted to smack him.

Well, at least my H will do that. He has to be told to do a lot of stuff though. I've finally trained him to realize when the sink is full, to unload and reload the dishwasher. Guess that's pretty good for almost 12 years.

she's out of out of network and my insurance, which doesn't cover all of her fee in the first place, reduced the covered amount this year. i get less that half reimbursed... which i am grateful for, but... it's just not working of late. the amounth that they cover, i will not meet my deductible. Last year, I met it by Mid December ... no way i'll meet it this year. insurance helps ... and yet at the same time, not.

and my taking a break from therapy, is not really a big loss in my book, the way i am feeling. I'd like to enjoy November ... no emotional upheavals. I've had one every week so far in October, thanks to therapy. time for a break ... and maybe i can figure out what I want next from therapy. what's goin' now is not it.

thanks, Chopin.

I'm sorry, rainbow_rose. Terrible sessions are.....terrible! I know how you feel except I have this urge to fix it instead of backing off. What kind of insurance do you have?

Yeah, I can relate to husbands not wanting to do cleaning. Mine likes to do laundry and dishes, though. I wish he would throw stuff out!!

I don't know if I took my Allegra or not tonight!!!! I can't take two if I took it, but I'm itchy already! What should I do? I am going to have to admit I'm "old" and use that stupid pill container!
Thanks for this!
