Today is the 10-year anniversary of the attacks that brought down the World Trade Center in New York City, an event known forevermore simply as 9/11.  It was impossible not to be impacted by it in...

...actually, before I say anything else, I need to send out personal shout outs to closey, Summerwind81, and Friend 19 for their huggles.  They meant an awful lot to me and helped me get out of...

I'm going to be honest about this and say right now that probably the best way for anyone to respond to this is via hug, because I need one.I try not to think about the juggling act I have now begun...

I had a feeling this would happen, but I felt powerless to stop it and as my luck would have it everything has gone downhill in a hurry.I definitely wasn't myself yesterday afternoon...very...

On days like this -- in this case the one before classes start -- I know my thought pattern is my biggest enemy...but I don't know what to do about it.I have a hard time focusing on now, so of course...

I have Microsoft Office on my laptop, so as I lined up my books, notebooks, and so on for the start of my classes on Tuesday I put my schedule together so I could get an idea of what I'm up...

I speak bird.  Well, okay, I speak bird only to the extent of the pet cockatiel in my house.  But today I was her best friend.This bird peeps a lot when she needs something.  Sometimes she needs...

Picking up the pieces with a week to go before fall classes start:*  I'm starting to notice why I'm so quiet on the boards for the most part...usually I don't know what to say.  But it's also...

Today was one of those lucky-as-can-be days.  We didn't take a direct hit from what is now Tropical Storm Irene, but the wind is still blowing fairly strong and we got a great deal of rain.  I'm...

Today was just plain rough.  It felt like I had slept too hard after having my little aggravation episode earlier in the week.  And yet...the damn thing was still bugging me today, and for a while...

And again I say AAAARRRGGGH!!!!Well, okay, it's not as bad as it could be, but I feel aggravated nonetheless.So, I tried to preregister for my exam to become a certified pharmacy technician today....

Today my mood is just totally dark.  Try as I want to, my confidence and self-esteem have just fallen so far that I'm past upset at myself.It's also making me very snappish.  I tried to talk out...

Tonight I'm a little uncomfortable letting my feelings out in private, but I also feel I have to put a new entry up.  So I'll give everyone something to watch instead.From early 1982, here's a link...

There's actually another problem on top of all this.On my certification training, I'm far behind...keeping my morale up is definitely having a lot to with it.  At this point, I know I'm definitely...

I'm back from my doctor's appointment now.  He did agree that I should back on citalopram, it looks like 20mg once a day.  Really not sure how long I'm going to need it for.This isn't the best out...
