A rose has bloomed in heaven.....

So I really have to thank St. Jude today. He was there for me yet again. This time it was my fault. But luckily I am no longer in harm's way.

I really feel lucky to have such a great husband and such great friends and family.

I am on day 4 of having next to no voice. Actually monday it was getting bad, tuesday and wednesday were almost unbearable, and today was a bit better, but still far from cured. Cough. Chills. Runny nose. Sore throat. Ok - sounds like a cold. But it's accompanied by the not being able to talk thing!

I agree with L - I want to know Sign Language better. In fact, in my position, I could actually teach it if I got really good. They would love it if I taught something outside of my main discipline. In fact, strange as it is, they actually encourage it.

Scared about the economy (who isn't, right?) Scared about not having enough time. It's always time. Having a small space (house, apt., whatever) isn't really an issue. It's not like we want to have huge parties or anything, and we can always get a bigger place later. But you can never get more time. I wish I could. I'd take a day to sleep and watch movies. Of course, knowing me, I'd have some sort of OCD complex about not being productive. On second though, why not - I have that complex anyways.

Ok, about the dogs. They are awesome. So glad the hubby has helped out so much this week with them while I've been on my death bed (ok I'm exaggerating, but I seriously thought I had mono). No really! I had almost all the symptoms.

Anyways, the dogs are so much fun. Ok, it's quite late. Need to get some shut eye. Hoping to hear from L soon. Wish I had more time to do teleconferences with her....

First post of 2009

So it's been about half a year since I last wrote. I'm mainly writing to see if L is checking!

I think that some prescription drugs are evil! They can cause severe anxiety and depression. I am very thankful to be switched to one which so far seems to be much better as far as side effects.

On a sad note, my uncle lost his job today. He has 3 kids, 1 in college, and 2 yet to go. Why is the world so unfair? I feel bad because I really shouldn't be complaining about my huge cc bill for the month, which is basically what I was doing earlier today. And yes, my job doesn't pay much, but I honestly have faith that with my skills I could get another one, even if the pay wasn't as much. Heck, it's even possible I could get a job that paid more - might have to move but life would go on.

Glad that I'm becoming better friends with Laura (uh oh another L!) How to distinguish. L and L2?

A bit bummed about the running, or rather I should call it jogging, since running implies speed. Hopefully I can say "I'm baaaaack" soon.

Can't wait for warm weather.

Miss L - L1 that is.

P has class tomorrow. Should I get up early with him or sleep in? When to run? When to finish work?

Off to bed. If you're reading, do tell.
