It's official now. I'm postponing the remodelling of my house. My physical is scheduled for January 4th, so it's impossible to get all the paperwork passed before the end of the year. It just sucks. And not just because everything has to wait for a year. The fact that I'm apparently a risk due to my weight, makes me feel even fatter than I did...

Work is craaaazy busy the past few weeks. The end of the year always brings a lot more projects to audit than any other time of year, and because we're closed from December 24th untill Januari 2nd, we have less time to do them. My boss is taking a few days off on top of that, so all projects with a...

I have been forgetful, so I just wanted to check.
On themeds I am fine, I am still at 7.25mg. of Paxil and I stopped all the herbal stuff since i was mainly using that during the withdrawl stage...I am ok right now, having emo ups and downs at times, but ok. I am waiting till after the holidays to lower myself again.

COME READ MY BLOG FOR TODAY! GOOD NEWS!
I just got back from my grandma's funeral. It was alright. Fought back a few tears, but I didn't cry. My mom and brother (my brother was very, very close with her) held up, too. Most of her kids, grandkids, and her siblings were there. The only thing that sucked was the music. My grandma never liked music in the first place, and they played...

I, unfortunately have been to my fair share of funerals...I am not fond of the open caskets myself.
I don't even want to think about it, I have a fear of death anyway.
I do like the new phone. But I am kinda partial to cellphones anyway.

My grandma just died 
. My mom sent me a message in the middle of the night to let me know.
She's been in a home the last couple of months, and had been doing poorly recently. Not wanting to eat, drink. Ultimately she passed away. She was my last remaining grandparent.
Untill she moved to a nursing home several months ago, my grandma lived...

I got your card today too...thank you sweetie!!!!
cassy:
sorry about your gma, i know when mine passed away it kicked the living shit out of me, she was the first person i was really close to that died, and she was my fave person in the world.
all we can do is commemorate them with great memories and traditions that were important to them, and remember them fondly for the great times you spent with them....that's what i do, and it seems to work out
i hope you feel better soon.

i hope you feel better soon.I went to the dr today, and got some ear drops. Man, I *love* those drops, they made the itch go away almost faster than you can blink.
Turns out that my inner ear is fine, but my auditary canal is infected in both my ears. So the inside is all flakey and sensitive, that's why it's been itching so bad. But the drops I...

It throbs today but I can already feel swelling go down a bit. And yes it feels even weirder than I thought it would.But i dig em.

Bleh. I had an ear infection about 2 weeks ago, which seemed to have gotten better. But this week, my ear has been acting up again. Fortunately it doesn't hurt as bad as before, but it's still very annoying. Especially when it itches (deep inside, where you can't reach), and everything sounds muted, like you have one of those wax earplugs in or something. I...

I hope you get better soon, especially by the time you start reducing your meds...I think I finally have gotten over my withdrawls, but I decided to wait till after xmas to reduce again...I am taking as a replacement to the Paxil: 5-HTP and Skullcap, plus excersise and plenty of water...try some of that and see if it helps...
It's getting chilly, so I decided to light up the fireplace. As soon as it was lit, Oz has been staring at the flames. Just sitting there, and staring. Crazy cat. But also cute

Today is St. Martin's day. That's kind of the western European version of Halloween. Kids carrying lanterns (often made themselves in school) will come door-to-door, and sing a song in...

I miss having a fireplace.
I'm going to start sending out Christmas cards soon, seeing it can take a few weeks to get cards and stuff across that big pond, especially around the holidays. If you'd like to recieve a card from this little patch of land below the sea, and I don't have your address yet (or you've moved), drop me a message .

Thank you for your support sweetie, it really means a lot...I know most of it is all in your mind...I have been so busy at work today, that I havent thought about it at all, so I actually feel like myself, and its great...so I need to try and train myself not to dwell on how I am feeling, because thats what caused my big anxiety attack in the first place...

My family has always had a casual dinner. Although, we also had turkey as they're fairly common here.
What are your 'traditional' dishes?

Woo, the weekend's here .
I had the day off yesterday, since I had an appointment with a contractor, and a
guy from the bank. First up was the contractor. What a fraud that was. He's
going to give me a more detailed quote, but his preliminary estimate was
35,000 ($ 50,000). For a mere 5-6 foot by 20 foot extension to my house! I...

Yeah, I will have to plan on going during a weekday...Cassy is actually about 8ish hours south of me, so unfortunately, I cant go with her...one of these days I will get down to where she lives so we can meet up!
These withdrawls are sucking so badly, part of it is that I have been thinking about iot too much, and that isnt helping at all...it makes me feel nervous and depressed about not feeling "normal"....are you quitting cold turkey??...please be careful, I havent been doing it like that, I am trying to slowly reduce, so my withdralw arent all that bad, and im sure they arent, but it still is stressing me out.

thanks for the pajamamama update...i was happily surprised with a myspace message from her on monday...so glad to hear she's doing well. i miss her lots...not just on sg, but in general. hope to see her before the snow starts flying.
best of luck to you on this house project. sounds exciting! i wish i had a house i could fix up and remodel, but for now, stuck living with my mom in an apartment. in 5 months and 26 days...or 178 days...i will then have a new roommate. don't know what the living situation will be then but...anyway...
i have been living with the stuffed-nose thing for awhile, and i don't know what's worse...running and sniffly, or stuffed up. neither are enjoyable.
take care. talk soon.
*hugs*
