    If we need some HAPPY news, I graduate college TOMORROW! I'm not walking, so my family has neglected to throw me a party. I am requesting that my iDog family throw me a virtual party, complete with drinks and half naked men :P I know I can count on you all.

     

    hiccup going to party for Cinco de Mayo so I can surely try to carry on through till tomorrow Party!!!

    I am really having an odd stretch of time that I feel really irritable and stressed.  I can't recall but I think it was last week I said I was grumpy too.  very unlike me and my friends are like whoa what's up?  It's just a million little things, nothing goes smoothly and i think it's just accumulating but zowie I want to be rid of this negativity.  I'm usually chilled out and very happy go lucky.

    I feel like I need to apologize to the universe because I had a client earlier that is really not very smart.  She just doesn't seem to make a lot of connections and it is really frustrating when she will wait the whole week and then tell me she didn't 'get it' Anyway my apology is because I was really close to losing it with her today.  I didn't but whew, very challenging.

    I definitely am having a mojito tonight!

    Woohoo Meg - Congratulations!! I love any reason to celebrate, so count me in DrinksParty!!!

    My boss emailed me a document to review. I tried to print it out and it locked up my printer and I couldn't even delete it out of the spooler nor could I print to any other printer. I shut down my computer and when I restarted it, I'd lost internet access. I had to restart my computer again and then everything seemed to be okay but omg!!!!!!!!!!!  Super Angry

    Congrats on your graduation, Meg!! 

    (Wait, what are your school colors so I can put that in the appropriate color scheme??)

    Here, I'll use our mutual HS alma mater's colors in the meantime...

    RAH Meg!!  Glad you got to go on the field trip!

    Tina -- if this catches you before you leave -- Bausch & Lomb makes a good 'allergy' eye drop -- PUT IT ON THE LID!!  I use it topically on all sorts of things.  It works darned well as a topical, not just an eye drop.  And obviously if it gets IN your eye it's not gonna hurt.

    Paige -- still have your aunt on my printer stickie!

    Yay for graduating!!!!  I know it's been a long road for you.  My brain has been zapped so I can't even remember everything I read on here this morning so I will send good vibes to those who need them.

    Karen, I am not sure of your age, but you might have your hormone levels checked to make sure something isn't totally out of whack which could be causing all of these feelings.  You know us women and our complicated bodies, and with stress to add on top of that!  Who knows.  But it might be a good starting point for at least identifying an issue, even if it isn't something you plan to do anything about, it can help you to keep it in better check maybe. 

    We officially have a foundation poured for our addition today and an extension to the patio poured.  And I pulled the trigger on the garage doors yesterday.  Is this all really happening?  The next month is going to be crazy hectic, but at least we can see progress as we are going!

    Yay Meg!!!!  WoooooHoooooo!

    I graduated in Dec and also didn't walk for the ceremony last week so no party for me either, so I'll definitely help throw a kicka$$ virtual one :)

    Yay Meg!

    Ok, so there is a possible measles outbreak in my area. Can I say, I am surprised at the moment that no autistic kids here have been confirmed as having measles yet. They believe the measles cases came from some French foreign exchange students... one of the siblings of a kid I used to work with hosted one of the French students. The French student attended a birthday party for a child I work with, where several other autistic kids were present. Here's hoping all those kids got their measles vaccines.

    Thank you, my mom told me she is in really good spirits and has chosen to fight this.  The type of cancer she has is not "small cell" which would be really bad (??), but some other kind that, unfortunately, is characterized as "tenacious" and hard to fight back.  I believe my mom said she was moved to a regular room tonight, no longer in ICU, and if things continue to be ok, she'll be going home tomorrow.  (Amazing, IMO.  How a person can go from the ICU to home in 2 days.)  Anyway, the doctors told her that with her attitude and the support system she has, they're ready to support her fight. 

    Meanwhile, I've misplaced my debit card between last night and this afternoon.  ARGH!
