Well, I’m stuck with a sick kid today, not my own. I’m not very happy with this to say the least, but his mom used all her “sick” leave over the Christmas break, so would have to do leave without pay, which is frowned upon as well costs a days income, so she begged me to take him and I caved in. I’m not feeling all that great myself today; but if I am getting what he has it hasn’t kicked in all the way. At least DH doesn’t work a split shift today so he’ll be able to spell me, but we were hoping to arrange to look at a couple houses today, since DH borrowed a friends car, but *shrug* what can you do.

Stacey, I’m leaving it as is; though it’ll have to wait till we get the new house to get used. We’re starting to pack today, nonessential, and sorting out things we don’t need.

I like Nene Thomas. I’ve looked at a lot of her art. They’re very cool, but just not the type to want to come home with me.

Cathy, back pain is horrible; my DH suffers from that often as well.

Debra, Diana is a wall hanging, cement, about a foot square.

Jaye, I have a mixed immune system. I get slightly sick super easy, especially if stressed or depressed, I often feel that I’m always sick, allergies if not colds etc… but it’s quite rare for me to become seriously sick. I seem to have a predisposition to strep, I’ve had it four times, once letting it turn into Bronchitis before I went to the doctor, but that’s about the worst I can remember. For instance, I was 23 before I got my Chicken pox vaccine, had outbreaks at school etc… but never got it. I get migraines, which I classify as bad, but they aren’t actually sickness.

Deborah, I took Chantix last time I tried to quite. It works really well. I failed to quit due to lacking coping mechanisms to replace the cigarettes. Next time I try I will try that again as well.

Marion, could be she was trying to conquer her fears. I do that regularly, with decent success. The worst one was climbing St. Paul’s; 350 feet up, last part on lacey looking cast iron stares and you have to look down to walk up it, and I forgot to bring my anxiety meds that day. I got about half way up and wasn’t sure if I could go up or back down. Finally worked through it and the view was great, but that was as close as I’ve gotten in 10 years to letting my fears conquer me.
