 Another person's tragedy doesn't lessen your frustration. That's a tough blow to be dealt.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. And true, your problems are your own, and it doesn't male them go away, but got me it put them in perspective.

I hope you feel better!  Plus, the gray and gloomy weather certainly doesn't help!

Here's my rant:  since I've lost all this weight, the comments are unreal! 

Now I'm hearing "don't lose any more weight or you'll look anorexic!"  Or, "you don't want to look like all skin and bones", yadda, yadda, yadda, it just goes on!

Then people proceed to tell me what to do-ERR!  I KNOW what to do, but they think they know better.  You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't!! 

It just amazes me the things people say!!!

Ack, that's no good. I'm PMS'ing too, and the Cramps of Death will probably start for me in about a week, yippee. Hope you feel better.

I have no real rants today. Feeling pretty good. Although I have WAY too much laundry piling up and I don't know how I'm ever going to get it finished. :shakes fist at laundry:

I wish my dishes and laundry would just fall in love and DO each other already!

Okay, well now I have a rant.
Not a rant really, but a sad.

My best friend just messaged me. Her husband has been relocated and she'll be moving three states away in three weeks.

We went to high school together, our kids play together, we attend the same synagogue. We're both military, so we knew it would happen eventually, but it still sucks.

I am tired of being broke.  Poor.  Can't pay the bills.  With a teen age daughter that thinks she is royalty.  I can't pay the bills.  Things just get worse instead of better.  I am working with voc rehab and it's encouraging but it takes a while.  I'm taking classes and doing all kinds of things to improve myself.  And I am still poor.

I'm too low energy for a rant. There you have it.

 Nik:

You might want to get onto the doctor.  My son has had the crud for 2 weeks and finally went yesterday to the doctor for a shot and a round of antibiotics.  Don't let it drag on to long.

My rant for today, this week and this month is that I helped my daughter pack and move this past week with no problem, but ate some very dry KFC grilled chicken while there and threw up so violently that I ruptured the mesh from my incisional hernia surgery of 3 1/2 years ago.  On top of that I already had a consult set up for the 2nd of April with a PS for getting a tummy tuck/LBL.  Now I got to deal with getting this repaired on top of possibility of being delayed on the other surgery.  I was hoping that maybe the PS could do both but since this is a second reoccurrence of the incisional hernia in the same place, the muscles are weak and I may have to have a complete reconstruction of the muscle wall area here instead.  So I am bummed until I find out want I can have or not have done....

 My crud is on day three...my doctor usually won't even see me until it's been a week or so and it's really mild. I think it's the crud PLUS Auntie that is more the problem. And we can't do anything about Auntie.
