Won't you come out for awhile? I wish I could do that *10* thing you do. I can't.....damn I just just can't. The sun isn't so painful today. I put some yummy in my tummy, a couple of clonazepam...I am unwinding. I hope you are ok....
Best and peace as always,
Jay

1. i went to see my pdoc today. he fit me in within the hour. he had on different clothes. he recently had a son who grunts often (takes after his dad). he smiled and talked aobut his son for quite a while. that brightened my day. i have the most lovely nurse in the world. i've lost weight since my last visit, even while wearing the biggest shoes in the world. my pdoc is very handsome when he smiles, and even when he frowns. he didn't make me wait very long at all. i'm not bloated like the girl i heard complaining in the other office :)
2. i saw a friend today who i've been avoiding during my 'episode' (as i'll call it). she's in love. she's filling my head with nonsense about love and happiness and GASP sex. she's gushing about her new boyfriend. she's literally glowing. she asked me if i've lost weight. i asked her if she's lost weight. we talked and caught up. i invited her over tonight, even though i still don't want to see people. it'll do me some good to hopefully have some nice, pleasant thoughts rub off on me.
3. i went to class today. we watched a cartoon in german. two men sitting in a bathtub. at first, the prof only showed words. i thought i would cry. i almost did. he asked me if i was ok. i thought i would cry again, because it seemed he cared. but, he explained what the words meant. and i realized we weren't supposed to know what they meant. i'm not nearly as far behind as i thought. ahhhhhhhh! what a relief!
4. i'm attempting to bring back the michael jackson look. white socks with black shoes. someone else help me out here. one person alone can't do it. or can she?
5. my friend called today. she's getting kicked out of her house with no where to go. i put my problems on hold to help her. i calmed her down. i told her how proud of her i was. i told her that she had a place to go, even if she didn't like it. and that it was a test to learn more aobut herself. she agreed. she thanked me. i felt better about myself. sheesh, she makes me feel smart. now, why is it that i ever argued with her in the first place? i love that girl. i feel bad for arguing with her while i visited her. so, maybe i am wishy washy.... but, she knows i'm smart. at least we can agree on that. and she does call me when she needs help.
6. the little things. men in suits. women with dogs. children in cafes who turn around and play peek-a-boo. baby powder. water. coffee. topamax. books. university, and the opportunity to go. my parents. wonderful people. very wonderful people. amazing people. poetry. art. music that rips at your heart. people who write music for you. music that inspires you to dance, even when you don't know how. people who inspire others to write music. shoes. fire. passion. letters. voices. the banjo. my sisters. babble. my dog. my mail carrier. the garbage collector. the police officer who waved at me today and made me smile even when i didn't want to. camus. bukowski. bubba. my landlords. paris. email. the telephone and people who i talk to on it. that lovely nurse who said i never complain. the lady who's bloated. my pdoc's son. santa claus. joe camel. vegas. and this could go on forever...
7. i watched a movie called the big kahuna. kevin spacey is in it with danny devito. it's very good. small, indy film. very good. made me think about my point when i talk to other people. again, very good. glad i watched it.
8. i love my dog. and i try to be the person my dog thinks i am. i believe that every day i am closer and closer to becoming that person. in fact, i'm almost there.
9. my parents never taught me to "never talk to strangers" i'm glad
10. i'm going to call my friend and find out where the public library is. also, i talked my old man into reading "the stranger" by camus!!! oh, i'm so excited!!! yahh--oooo!!

In reply to wonderful idea jay!!!! 10 list *happy post* » jay, posted by karen_kay on April 9, 2004, at 18:08:31
1. Tossing a frisbee with two beautiful woofies, and getting all muddie from attacks and kisses, and general mayhem.
2. Getting letters; handwritten, long, multi-page letters. Received a lovely one today.
3. My girlfriends - who make me laugh until no sound comes out.
4. The person who invented pre-marinated, pre-baked tofu so I can just eat it.
5. My ex who still gives the BEST hugs.
6. Memory of Easter Sunday - mom adjusting her fancy easter hat for the upteenth time.
7. Spring cleaning of closests and donating my fat clothes! Yeah!
8. Having lost weight, my thighs no longer make that swishing noise in panty hose.
9. My T, who must adopt me soon or I shall pitch a tent on his front lawn. Heck, his kids are grown, there is certainly room for me now!
10. As always, the Babblers. Especially the ones I annoy. They teach me the most.

OK, I need to do this, but I just can't get to KK's level. I'm working through a fog of moderate depression here, but I'll do my best.
1. I am married to a great guy.
2. I have friends.
3. I have a warm place to live that doesn't leak when it rains.
4. Although I feel crappy, I probably know the cause, and it's fixable.
5. All this rain must be good for the flowers.
6. I did yoga both of the past two days.
7. I'm sure I can talk my sweetie into going out for dinner tonight.
8. My cat is howling out in the hallway for no good reason. (OK, that's not really a good thing, but it's interesting, or at least mysterious.)
9. I had a work colleague call me on my cell while I was at a conference yesterday, and we ended up talking about shopping. She's so cool.
10. I found a perfect pink dress. I hope it fits, and that I can afford it.pegasus

And I hope JYL is doing well.

In honor of jyl
1. I worked in my yard most of yesterday. Got a "good kind of muscle sore" going.
2. One of the lily bulbs I planted last fall is peeking out.
3. It's a four day weekend! (love those Catholic Universities)
4. I have a wonderful husband.
5. My dog lets me put the medicine goop in her ears without growling or biting now.
6. I am inspired to go into work to get caught up. (I know that's weird, but it means I'm not procrastinating.)
7. I realized I don't really need my boss's approval for a personal decision I made to protect my mental health.
8. I have therapy on Tuesday--lots to talk about.
9. My cherry tree is getting ready to bloom.
10. I met two new neighbors yesterday.
Thanks, jyl for starting this trend. Hope you are well.
Great thread idea!
