OK, I forgot to pay an important bill, leaving for home (PHX) tomorrow and the guy that takes care of the dogs is thinking of skipping town today. Roommate is suddenly very sick, friend/co-worker's dad lived on the beach in Biloxi and didn't evacuate...then there's work...back and leg hurting. Just have to vent, get it out, hands "falling asleep" and can't afford that today.
I've always been everybody else's support system, need my own now...

hang in there lilc, this is our life now. Stree makes our symptoms worse, so try not to let it get to you. easier said than done, I know. We are all stressed about work. I can relate, cuz I am having a very hard time with blurry vision and stuff. Lots of anxiety and depression all at the same time. Just have to suck it up and do it, ya know. We are all with you.

Hey Lilc....you know I am praying for you! Hang in there. I know it can be hard. But I also know you're a strong woman. What's the latest on the developments you mentioned?

Hey Lilc,
No problem venting that's what were here for....

If the saying "when it rains it poors" isn't true I don't know what is. Everything always goes wrong at once. Good ol' Murphy's law or whatever

Just take a deep breath and handle one crisis at a time..... and use us as a release

Good Luck .....and Good times ahead for us all ....

Thanks, y'all, not pegged anymore, but still in the red zone! DJKD, nothing new yet, tests next week. And yes, Smartie-pants, THAT stress crept in in the midst of everything else this morning! I'm praying for you, too. We'll get through all of this. I'm changing TV channels, can't take any more on Katrina. Looking for Nick at night or something...
I thank God that I have a warm, comfortable bed to crawl into. I thank God that I have a bottle of filtered water on my bedside table, and more in the cold refrigerator. I thank God that I can pick up one of several phones and call any member of my family right now - and reach them. I thank God that I am alive, that I have the activity of my limbs, a relatively sound mind and the breath to say, "Thank you, God".
