And, though I am sure you do not want to hear it now; ditch the booze and See's candy. A good salad or soup can lift your spirits. Pet your cats. Good luck hon and I hope you feel better soon.

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS I had another really funky day today. I just wonder when this is going to end. It felt like I was upset with everyone today - no one did anything right at work.

I'm not into writing anyone up because everyone has an off day, but I was really, really close to flipping my lid. Thank goodness I have what little sanity I do because of my visions of Crazycroc.. Seriously, though, I decided I am only working a half day tomorrow so I can start my Hojos / DLR weekend a little earlier than planned. Maybe with a beer in hand and a few hours away from my noisy neighborhood I can restructure my bad mood.

A few silver linings.. 1) if we didn't have an occasional bad day, we wouldn't appreciate the good ones quite as much. 2) you're an "up" person by nature and I've never known anything to get you down for long 3) There are few people that I love and respect as much as you and PB, that's got to be worth something...maybe even See's bordeaux.

A scented bubble bath. A book from the library. These are small things I know but I hope they can lift your spirits.

It usually works...on the rare occasion it doesn't I get drunk and call my best friend to vent.

This morning I opened the washer lid only to find my clothes still swimming in water. There is no working rinse cycle or spin cycle. Imagine if you will PB bailing out water as I rinse and wring out the clothes for the dryer. And of course, the first dryer cycle didn't dry everything completely because the clothes were quite wet when placed in there.
