Good point, Deacon!

Oh Deacon Blue! I cant't think of anything to say

Perfect antidote for the blahs: take a carload of 14-year-old boys to the shopping mall and back. Yee-hah! Also, there's nothing quite like a big infusion of caffeine to unclog the synapses.

Good news! Birdie has a little brother or sister on the way. Aunty Dragon is over the moon.

How'd you go with the garage & pergola, Robyn? We have a vague notion to build a granny flat out the back of our place, but when keeping up to the lawn-mowing is a challenge, well, the odds are against it ever happening!

Cheers everybody, gotta go feed the troops.

Reading and lurking
Mommy's girl is getting better and only has the fever now. Missed 2 nights of work, but couldnt bear to see the pathetic little non-comprehending look when she'd throw up. She just did not understand what was happening. I can't go to work and pretend everything's o.k. when shes sick. A lot of my job is "acting"
Lost that bothersome tooth in a Popsicle also Got 3 popsicles and 1/2 a bottle of "Sprite" down her so at least she did't dehydrate this time.
Been waiting for it to come out for a long time. Shes been complaining about it for awhile now.
At least a couple months. Just happy shes better.

You're doing a good job with your daughter, Reike.

thought just to say hi !


not keeping up (so if i didn't reply on anything someone might have said to me, very sorry,
but there are so many pages in this thread that i can't find anything with the few time i have to browse them)

i'm still in linuxland, or fixing everything to have a wonderful time there

Glad your girl is on the improve, Reika. We use exactly the same remedies in Oz for kids with tummy bugs; they just go by different names. Popsicle = iceblock, and Sprite and 7-Up are called "lemonade" here.

I wish you all a peaceful day/evening. Please be kind to one another!

I have had the past 10 days off from my job and spent most of it panicing about my return.I thught with enough research I would find an alternative way to make a living but kept running into "dead ends".

My biggest fear in returning is facing the barking and this will be my first shift working with "the new guy".I realize that thinking of this new experience as "negative" sounds pessimistic.He may be a wonderful hardworking person who doesn't dislike me,lie,missunderstand everything I say or harm me in anyway.That may have been my past experience with people but he could be the "exception".I actually do have a small hope that this could be the case.

The negative "perspective" is one of self-preservation.I have the illussion that if I can imagine all possible negitive scenerios,I maybe able to plan/prepare to make them less harmful.This is "logically" insane thinking.Panic and paranoia are a waste of my energy and leaves less of it to do the actual "coping" required to do my job and interact with this new person.The past day,I feel a stunned exceptance that I am actually going to have to go face my fears( a sort of calm a condemed prisoner faces when approaching the scaffolding)....at least the "worrying" part is almost over and that is always worse then the actual event it self,which I often find an inner strength to cope with(that I forgot about while worrying).I do feel like throwing up,butterflies in my stomach of the "unknown"....but it is better then the "panic" I was feeling when I couldn't seem to find an "escape route" from returning to the job.


Wish me "luck".I will see you all in a few days.If it is "bad enough" perhaps it will be the catalist I need to find another job.
I tend to believe "the evil you know is better then the evil you dont know(which is what keeps me from appliying to most jobs..all the "what ifs").I do know that once I reach my...last straw,I either have a break down or make the necessary changes.As I have gotten older,it is more the latter then the former...so I am learning some coping skills.

Good luck, Krex.

Maybe it will be bad, but so what? You can just tell us about it.

Maybe it will be all good, even better. You can tell us about it.

I look forward to your (triumphant!) return.
