Now it sounds like the world IS ending at my house. I'm sitting in the living room in dead silence with my dogs (H is in bed asleep). The wind is roaring!! Actually it's gusting to 40 mph.

Don't worry, I know it's a cold front. It's 66° right now at 12:46 am. Weather.com says it's going to be 41° by 6 am. BRRR!! But at least it will feel like Christmas this year.

Well damn. My power almost went out. Time for bed!

Chopin...hope you're off getting a good night sleep then with all the blustery gales. I just checked what the wind speed was here today and it was up to 24mph, which felt like a very gentle breeze here Your wrapped basketball looks perfect too! I'm not good with wrapping, but I did make T an envelope this year to fit the custom sized card I made her. I was really lazy and didn't measure the envelope at all and just guessed, and it worked out so perfectly it was ridiculous. So, I can't wrap pretty presents, but I can make a decent envelope.
Thanks for this!

That was my first thought too, which was why I thought I needed it before my last T appointment. Turns out I could have used some Christmas Crack after all. Oh well. Life is falling apart. Any spare Christmas Crack?

It was supposed to be 17 days for me too. It's 18 days now. Well it's on the 18th day. Does that count as 17 or 18 days?

Is that till you see T, Nightlight? That's 18 days for me, I think. (The 8th. I count that as 18 days.) 17 days is what I have to survive until this holiday is over.

Exactly the same for me.

It hasn't been a good start, but I'll try to pull through it and hang on. I'm sick of hanging on though. I'm losing grip. I don't have much left to keep me going. I'll keep trying though.

I haven't talked much about my new T on PC. But we had to cancel this week because she couldn't do my normally scheduled night and I couldn't do any other nights. But I really could have used to talk to her last night (my normal T night) about what is going on with me and my H. It feels like its all unraveling.

Ugh. The garbage truck driver who stopped while I was shoveling told me he had to go 35mph on the main highway. The blowing and drifting is horrible here. He said it gets better as you go east, but I am still terrified to drive to work. Schools here are on a two hour delay.

ETA: And perhaps I am just a bit bitter that I have to drive in because all the other full-time people took half the month off. i am seriously thinking of saying something about that at my review in January. We work for separate organizations, but we are all responsible for the building. One person has taken at least 4 or 5 weeks off this year and I know darn well they doesn't get that much vacation time.

Do you have to go in Sconnie? Can you wait the 2 hours too? Be careful.

Good morning.

I am working from home this morning. My Jeep was making an odd noise and pulling to the side. Possibly due to my median hop yesterday. I brought it home for H to look at. Now I'm resisting the urge to climb back in bed. I slept from 6:30 to 6:30 so this really shouldn't be an issue.

Good Morning Pbutton... Hope it turns out to be something little and cheap wrong with the Jeep.

I think if I worked from home, I would make my bed my office.
Thanks for this!

Good morning, couch peeps!

I woke up with a significant migraine this morning. Anyone surprised? It's raining, which is always a trigger for me. I started documenting everything - time and duration of migraine, the pain scale, what I'm eating, what I'm drinking, exercise, the meds I'm taking, suspected triggers (weather), etc.

I'm debating on whether or not I want to go to a couple stores this morning or go back to sleep. I need to get stocking stuffers for my daughter - and today is the last day she is at school so that I'd have the opportunity to do that. So, I really should....OR, I can ask her dad to pick some up for me (would be nice to have the help)....But I'm feeling so unwell today that resting seems like a good idea, especially since I am going to my sister's later today and need to wake up at 4:30 AM to take her family to the airport for their vacation.

Decisions, decisions....

wow...took me over an hour to catch up. I can't remember everything but a few things stand out:

MKAC - seriously, the man needs to be banned to another room. Cuddle *THIS* sucker! sheesh. You ARE are a good mom.

Granite - sugar is sugar and fat is fat, even when organic, even when sold at whole foods. lol.

Sconnie - I laughed so hard at your pic. Not because you are in a blizzard. Not because you are depressed ( ) But I have never actually seen a Piggly Wiggly and I honestly didn't believe in them. Such a freakishly silly name, I didn't think it could possibly be real.

So...today is daughter's 23rd birthday. Much rejoicing in the Pissah house. We woke her up this morning at 6:23 AM blasting REM "It's The End Of The World". She was a good sport about it. Carrot oatmeal ginger muffins with a candle and orange melon juice.

It will still be there, Granite. It may take a session or two to get back in the swing, but the connection doesn't go away.

I had dinner last night with some old friends. They used to be a very draining group to be with. One of women recently moved away. It turns out that she was the energy sucker in the group - the rest of us had a wonderful, light, upbeat time. It's amazing how one person can so completely change the dynamic of a group.

I have 13 days to go before I see T. I think it's a little odd that so many therapists take time off at the holidays, when it's such a difficult time for so many of their clients. To be fair, he prepped me for his vacation for weeks. And he's almost insistent that I call him during the break if I think talking to him would make me feel better. But it's really not the same as seeing him.
