  1. I think we may need to go swimming and get rid of that sand
  2. I think you need to post some eye candy to warm us all up
  3. We've got well over a foot of snow so far, and it's still snowing. The roads are terrible and the winds are supposed to pick up around noon, making it even more treacherous out there. I'm so glad to be home, snuggled up with the cats.
  4. We're officially closed tomorrow and Thursday It's snowing out right now, but the worst is yet to come. High winds and plummeting temps will create blizzard-like conditions and wind chills in the -30s F. I have enough food to get me through the weekend and two whole days to edit and write 📖
  5. Lovely, as always. I love your positive spin on January. January is such a maligned month, it can be difficult seeing the good among the giant snow piles and blizzards.
  6. Their "cold" is our "shorts weather". 😛
  7. If it's giving you something to focus on, then it's doing its job.

    *high five*
  9. Is this a shock to anyone?
  10. OMG I swear they don't consider people's feelings when they do things like this. I had a nurse leave me a message once saying to call back so we could discuss 'the next step'. O.o
  11. I commend you for sharing your journey and your thought process with us. I wanted to tell you your 'emergency list' and way of getting through your day has inspired me. There's a walking path near my house that I don't take full advantage of and when the weather warrants it, I'm going to implement a daily walking routine. I have no excuses not to.
  12. Your emergency morning list sounds like a great idea. Maybe you could come up with a list of things to do during those free times that cause so much anxiety? Just a thought. I like your mantra. This entry sounds more hopeful than they've been recently. Here's another mantra for you... you got this!
  13. There used to be an icon to access Amazon directly from GA and a portion of the purchase would go to GA. I want to place an Amazon order, but I can't find the icon. Is this still an option? I'm using Windows 10 on an HP laptop and Google Chrome.
  14. My office is the exact opposite. Everyone else is freezing, so they crank up the heat, which leaves my office at 80F. So even in sub-zero weather I'm wearing short sleeves because I'm roasting at work.
  15. Blow on it. Oh wait... not that kind of... oh never mind. 😛
  16. Depends on what they start with 🐢
  17. Albert, I was thinking of you this morning and about insomnia. Something I've used with some success--it doesn't work all the time--is progressive relaxation. I'm not sure if you're familiar with that technique, but it may also help you during a panic attack. The idea is start at your toes and first tighten your muscles as much as you can, then release your breath and relax your muscles at the same time. So you start with your toes, then feet, then ankles, then calves... etc. working your way through all your various muscle groups. I'm usually asleep before I get to my arms.
  18. Here too. It was -4 when I went to work this am and 27 on the way home. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the mid 40s with soaking rain.
  19. Well this is one lesson my protege failed. There's no such thing as enough. 😛
