Quite a week so far

Workload pressures and the emotional stress of starting a mediated process with my problem manager who is not on sick leave has left me so disinclined to look at messages that I am even ignoring my blackberries. Both of them, which if you know me at all means I am either near death or in need of therapy or an intervention

I am sorry that things are so rough right now. They will get better just hang in there. Hugs. btw love the nightie story. Sounds like something I would do (hmmm have done at the back of the house - chased a squirrel like a mad woman).

Lol! This place is a good de-stressor. It's my safe space to vent, but pure venting all the time is dull, so I try to find ways to be entertaining. When I do that, I start to see the humour myself. My anxiety about Geoff, and the fact that I felt guilty about the snow shoveling when it turned out he was not having the sports injury of a man cold, was mitigated by thinking about how I have turned into my parents (and their parents). We all walked 10 miles to school, uphill, in a snowstorm, both ways, all year round. Geoff did the equivalent yesterday, and it will make him a better parent - plus he'll get to dine out for years on stories of his awful childhood and harsh parents, just like I did.

I think Julie Roberts would be the right choice.

A younger Carol Burnett would be brilliant.
