just readjusting to the twitches after my respite. The mirapex was a no go, created a crevice an inch deep on my forehead. Next month I'll try another drug, after the kiddies are back in school (18 more sleeps) and my friend's wedding is over (my first time as a bride's maid.)
Your example has also movtivated me into action around my house. I've switched the children's rooms around with their help. For today I had designs for my bedroom, but fortunately I was called into work.
The temperature has dropped here and we finally got some rain, not enough, but every bit helps. I took the children for a walk on the creek-bed behind our house. You have to watch those rocks they can be as slippery as wet ice. It was neat walking where we usually have a couple feet of water. The Brits this spring forgot to turn off the tap, flooded a few streets, and in the process must of drained our resovoir.
I wore a lumber jacker outside as I waited for the pup to do his business and just realized another summer is coming to a close. This one I'll probably remember because sometime during the warmth I must have gained an acceptance of my "syndrome." With this acceptance I've stopped fighting it and as a result have gained so much.
Cyber friends such as yourself have helped me to reach this milestone.
I'm fine thanks, and how are you?

Good morning, Everybody, missed willow yesterday, too. It has been cooler here too. Got new down comforters to replace the fiber fill ones (they were seriously on sale) and when I ask son (17) how his first sleep was, he said, it reminded him of when he was little and would wake up in the middle of the night, frightened, and go crawl in with us where it was warm and soft... We had had a comforter for a long time. then changed because for some reason it gave me a stuffy nose. the old one got washed many times is now with oldest son who loves it and doesnt seem to be affected by it. Maybe it is his bankie too. Ah, comforts. I hope the new one is better. I am off to make some breakfast and try to figure out how to make this day work.
talk to you latter.

Saturday early evening.
it's still hot here. 95 i'd say, at least. tanktop weather for 2 more months. i'm eating a delicious bowl of spaghetti with mushroom sauce after being sent home from work early. 2 supervisors and one customer complained that i seemd "out of it." i think that's code for "smells and is acting fairly drunk." went to a 21st b-day party last night, drunkenness in order--but not still at 3pm the next day, i s'pose. i was caught spending an extra 5 minutes on break and timed @ being in the restroom 7 minutes. feeling like a drunken gradeschooler, i apologized sincerely and as focusedly as possible but they sent me home to "get some sleep."
mmm well i'm glad i'm at home eating at last, i slept with my longtime crush last night. is that skanky? i've lost all faith that men can actually feel for women, except sexually. i'm frightened now that i've lost him because i had sex with him, frightened after only 4 hours...
i'm done with my spaghetti now. it was good, lots of parmesan + mushroom.

I don't think all the tears in the world could bring up the water levels around here, but good try. Is it the up coming move? Lack of sex? Run out of caffeinated coffee?
Me I'm out of bananas and apples, have to smoke the hubby's smokes, and the laundry never is done.
Glad you are feeling better. I always find a good cry helps and if it doesn't then I pout. Hopefully the sun will keep shining on you!

Are you just busy? Myself I'm doing better with the need to come him. Guess it is bittersweet! I still think of you guys. As I'm getting more done around the house I think of yous. Hmm, but am mostly concerned with your abrupt withdrawal. Drop a line to say your are okay? Please ...

I've been trying to fix pc painting and trying to sleep with a pussycat jumping on and off the bed and as the weather's being unpredictable the darn cat wont stay out for long and cries outside my window.
Thanks for your concern I've visited site few times but couldn't think of anything to say.
Also preparing a mood chart for pdoc. Not getting much good days, no highs.
Least the crying stopped. Geek sent me email his spellings the same.
Still looking for cheap accomodation. Looking at threads your wondering where I am now I'm wondering where kingfish is.
I'll check back later early morning as flatmate has gone to his girlfriends and I can use his pc.
The weeping willow's tears replenishing the soil around the roots, bye for now .

Kingfish is going through a down turn too! I'm starting to get there, perhaps as the mirapex works out of my system or a result of balancing bank account. At this point it really doesn't matter, some rest would be really nice ...
Paint some happy faces for all of us!

BATHROOMS - Always accompany guests to the bathroom. It is not
necessary to do anything. Just sit and stare.DOORS - Do not allow any closed doors in any room. To get the door
open, stand on hind legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it
is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered an "outside" door
opened, stand halfway in and out and think about several things. This is
particularly important during very cold weather, rain, snow, or mosquito
season.CHAIRS AND RUGS - If you have to throw up, get to a chair quickly.
If you cannot manage in time, get to an Oriental rug. If there is no
Oriental rug, shag is good. When throwing up on the carpet, make sure you
back up so it is as long as a human's bare foot.HAMPERING - If one of your humans is engaged in some activity, and
the other is idle, stay with the busy one. This is called "helping,"
otherwise known as hampering." Following are the rules for hampering:a. When supervising cooking, sit just behind the left heel of the cook. You
cannot be seen and thereby stand a better chance of being stepped on and
then
picked up and comforted.
b. For book readers, get in close under the chin, between eyes
and book--unless you can lie across the book itself.c. When human is working at computer, jump up on desk, walk across keyboard,
bat at mouse pointer on screen, and then lay in human's lap across arms,
hampering typing in progress.WALKING - As often as possible, dart quickly and as close as possible
in front of the human, especially: on stairs, when they have something
in their arms, in the dark, and when they first get up in the morning. This
will help their coordination skills.BEDTIME - Always sleep on the human at night so he/she cannot move around.
LITTER BOX - When using the litter box, be sure to kick as much litter out
of the box as possible. Humans love the feel of kitty litter between
their toes.HIDING - Every now and then, hide in a place where the humans
cannot find you. Do not come out for three to four hours under any
circumstances. This will cause the humans to panic (which they love)
thinking
that you have run away or are lost. Once you do come out, the humans will
cover you with love and kisses, and you probably will get a treat.ONE LAST THOUGHT - Whenever possible, get close to a human, especially
their face, turn around, and present your butt to them. Humans love this,
so do it often. And don't forget their guests!Dreamer, thought of you and your attentive feline when my friend sent me this...hope it got a chuckle.
Signed,
M. Mouse, scampering in the walls.

That's so right, Susan.
And don't forget:
When your human is fast asleep, jump up on the bed and go up and sit on her face, purr loudly in her ear, investigate her ear until the tickling drives her nuts.
If you have a bout of diarrohea, make sure your butt is hanging well over the edge of the litter box - you can get a real pretty pattern on the floor.
(Remembered from last night... Lisa)
