I have returned from NY in one piece. It was a lovely time, but I cannot tell you how glad I am to be in my own city, in my own home.

I had two phone sessions with T while I was in NY, which was wonderful. He got a little taste of my family as my sister was screaming my name, yelling that we have to get coffee, and then I got trampled by her dog who was eating something or other of mine.

Tomorrow I go to see T at the other office. This is the "official" switch, as I will now see him there from now on.

I got a lot of awesome gifts, but the best gift of all is what I had asked for first and before any material item-- that the depression would lift somewhat. I am feeling okay right now. I don't know what will happen tomorrow or the day after that, but right now I feel okay.

Merry Christmas to everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Pink!

I'm so glad for you. And merry Christmas to you too!

I head back home tomorrow myself. I'm having a nice time with family, but it's stressful of course at the same time. I'm so glad you're feeling less depressed! I was down for a long time too and finally came out of it somewhat. I was terrified that I'd still be unemployed at Christmas but I'm not. And things are going okay. And life is starting to look up here too. I hope it's getting better for everyone on here!

I still love your avatar. :-)

Lookin' forward to seeing T myself on Thursday. :-)

Merry Christmas!
Sidony

Hi you guys! I'm glad you made it thru the holiday and are feeling some better

I am feeling some "good-natured" pangs of jealousy. I really hate to whine on line.......... Did you catch the rhyme? Totally unintentional, but I'm making an exception here. Thanks for letting me. My holiday has ranked up there with the worst of my adulthood. My eyes are swollen almost closed from crying and I feel like a train-wreck.

My 22yr. old daughter was not with us for the hoildays for the 1st time since she was born due to her serious drug addiction problems. My mother tried to commit suicide almost a year ago and is now somebody I don't even recognize cause she has become soooo vicious with her anger. There are no boundaries as far as what she spews at me. My step-father & I are her primary targets. My younger ( only sibling) brother is an alcoholic and he drank his holiday evening in response to the tension of the evening. My t has gone away with family for the holidays and I don't have an appt. till Jan7. AND no way to touch base w/him. OK.......guess I'm done. Sorry if I got too carried away. I tried to keep it bare bones w/out details. And....yes....I am wallowing in self-pity tonite.

I'm sorry pin. I just realized I attached myself to your post and got off track. I honestly didn't mean to do that. I hope you forgive me. I don't feel like re-typing.

Gee, what would happen if we had pink tulips? :-) Sorry you had such a nasty holiday tulips, guess you're just as glad it's over as the rest of us but for different reasons. What a nightmare.

Glad you're feeling on the up and up Pink; hope it continues.

Thanks for your posts and listening. I know the holidays are supposed to be "Merry" and I did try. I'm just going to have to chalk this one up.

On an up-note.....I got tickets months ago for this coming Sat. nite to see "Wicked". My 18yr. old daughter has been wanting to see it for years. We weren't able to get tkts. while in New York. So, when I heard it was going to be in town during the holidays, I scrambled and found 2tkts. in 8th row orchestra. She & I are going to do a whole mother/daughter evening together. Can't wait. We are both excited.!
