hugs to both CM and Me2 --- you got some California Love sent your way.

my irritate... the Boy (my Boy? :ooh: ) turns out to have a fractured hand that the hospital didn't even bother to Xray the other day. He's in having surgery right now, and having pins put into it - He'll be off work for a few weeks, and there is going to be quite a bit of pain. He's kinda a big softie, and was really nervous last night.

Sigh.. things just can't go smoothly can they?

I think there is still a bright side to this....hmmmm :eyeroll:

Got it! :goofy:

With a cast on his hand, he's gonna need help zipping up! Probably more often than even HE realizes! :wink:

You're silly.... they don't wear jackets in California!

Its warm there...

Who said anything about jackets? :wink:

actually... funny you should mention that - he's been in sweats for like the last 4 days. He wore jeans yesterday that had a zipper rather than a button.

and lets just say that's a bright side that I have already explored and proven to be true. :sillygrin:

I'm wearing sorels today.. but you are correct.. no jacket!

Old joke Punchline:
Boy: I prefer that Gramma help me. Her hand shakes.

Back to subject:

Irritates: Panic Attacks

Triggered by acid reflux, I've had so many recently I feel like I need to make a standing reservation at St. Joe's Hospital.

Sorry MD - Panic attacks suck. Get better damn it!

bummer MD about both. I've had acid reflux the last couple of days.

ofcourse my diet of cherrios, slim jims and cheese its might have something to do with it...

dang...this is a depressing thread...hope thing improve for everyone.

I am posting this here because it is NOT about anyone on this board.

I am irritated and annoyed because every time I give an update to those who ask - about house sale, contract work or job prospects, I invariably get one or more of the following responses:

1) they act like it is a done deal, even if all I have told them is that someone looked at my house and *might* want a second showing, or I got wind of a contract project that I *might* be called about, or I tell them I sent my resume for a job, or had a conversation with the company that has been pushing out their hiring schedule since August. So, as an example, if I say someone looked at my house, they ask, "so when are you moving, then?" Like I have ANY clue. I should just start giving them a made-up date, eh? But somehow, when I pull sarcasm on someone, it bakcfires, probably because it is so out-of-character coming from me.

2) when I emphasize that nothing is definite yet, they ask my why I am being so pessimistic, when really I am quite optimistic that things are going to work out just fine, yet realistic about what is in my immediate control. I am still steering the boat, even though the winds are constantly shifting with all these irons in the fire.

3) they point out to me that if I take a job here, and then my house sells, I am apparently not thinking things through very well. Well, duh - if I take a job here, I might take my house off the market for awhile until the economic crisis resolves, or I might sell anyway and rent in town until something opens up job-wise in the twin cities. If my house sells and I have no work here, then I will make the move right away. But, at the moment, there are just too many variables to predict what I will do! A lot depends on IF there is an offer, how good is the offer, and when the closing date would be. And, as I get closer and closer to Drummer's wedding date and other things are not settled yet, I think I'd rather just be still here, in this house, through July. Anyway, you get my drift...

I am getting so I don't want to give any information to anyone, because they just want to question it to death. If I stop mentioning anything related to work or moving plans, they seem to think my lack of news means I am feeling "down".

Geez! I am on more of an even keel than I have been the past six years! The economic situation has brought it home that all I can do on any given is day is what I can do. The most important thing is to maintain hopeful productivity, even if that productivity is baking cookies or offering a listening ear to a friend.

This leads me to a suspicion I've had about some of these people - the LIKE drama! They want things to be either exciting or dreadful.

And I just can't go there. If there is a joyful time, I am joyful. If there is work to be done, I am doing it. My days are relatively serene and predictable, but I am poised for the next phone call that could bring a change in my direction, or a firming up of some potential options while making other options obsolete.

So, that is my "irritates" post! Thanks for letting me get that vented.

I am planning a personal retreat for this weekend. I am going to meditate, screen calls, do yoga, nap, work on my quilt, and probably not even turn on the computer! I think I need a break from cacophonous opinions and advice.

They want things to be either exciting or dreadful.

Don't forget that. You don't need that in your life right now.

It sounds like you have a wonderful weekend planned.

I see relaxing by some warm water in my future. :smile:

Thanks CM - hope the vision comes true for you!

oooh eags. I know exactly where you're coming from.

sick of drama - take the time you need. lu

Something hard to deal with are others opinions. Do whats best for YOU.

Goodness, whats taking so long selling your house? It worries me for when I need to sell mine.

infections

 :frown:

computer? human?

hope it gets cured quickly!

Ohhh.. personal retreat sounds wonderful! enjoy that! and bummer in the irritates... to quote Fraiser "I'm listening"

Gridlock from snowfall.

Took me 2 hours and 40 minutes to get home from eagan!! :barf: :coolfrown: :barf: :crying:

Took me 1/2 hour just to get down the ramp because a semi spun out and took a few cars with it at the bottom of the ramp. Then it took an hour just to get from Pilot Knob to Robert St on 494.

So I decide to go plan B because talk radio says 52 is backed up as well as 61 at Concord. So I get off on Robert.

Then it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get to Kellog. :crying:

It took a half hour just to cross the Robert St bridge only to find gridlock on 3rd/Kellog. So plan C

I go up Wall St to 7th. More gridlock. All the way up to Margaret St,(almost to Arcade) before I have a brilliant idea...Plan D.

I turn right on Margaret and the snow is really deep, but no cars can navigate the deep snow, so I plunge right through in my truck to a block before Whitebear.

I figure I better hit a light to get across Whitebear Ave, so back over to more gridlock on Minnehaha going past Whitebear. Finally I made it home in 2 hrs and 40 minutes.

That sucked!!! :barf: :barf: :barf: :crying: :sad: :crying: :crying: :sad: :barf: :chagrin: :confused: :crying: :coolfrown: :frown: :barf: :barf: :barf:

I agree with you mikey and I DO NOT want to talk about what Ive been through in the last 3 1/2 hours - plus the hour and 1/2 before that!

)(*^(@%%#^@&)$#()%#)*&^%$^*&()(*&^%$#@$%^&*()(*&^%$#$%^&*()_(*&^%$%

all I can say right now is thank God for codiene and hopefuuly the future. I'm so sick of this )(*^T. life will get better ... just can't come too soon.

oh and when the future gets here?

I will still be late to everything and I will still be there for friends but I wont allow plans to change so much do to last minute things.

I sure am glad I didn't have to navigate in this snow today. One of my daughters has had my car since Tuesday, so I walked to a funeral today and got home just as the snow was starting. She got her car back from the mechanic this afternoon and returned my Jeep. Fifteen minutes after she dropped it off I look outside and see a tow truck. Figured they were picking up a snow bird but then saw my son-law from Zumbrota step out of the truck. His car broke down on 494 and he got towed here and took my Jeep to Zumbrota. He left about an hour ago and don't expect he'll get home any time soon. So I had my Jeep for 15 minutes. Just as well I guess.

gotta love those kids!!

what are kids for? hehehe

you're a good mommy :grin:

so I shouldn't mention that it's Sunny and 65 here during the day huh? lol.

actually it's been raining pretty much for the past week.. so today was a nice and welcome break. It's now almost 11 and 46.

FIGHTS!!!

Being a little too nervous for my first meeting with the big wigs to discuss the new project that I'm heading up. Too much coffee in too little of time. Buzzzzzzzzzz

I can't seem to concentrate. Yikes! :pbpt:

good luck.

bet you had to wear a suit today then huh?
