All are at the crossroads

Oh, how considerate of you Qimi. Thanks I'm feeling a bit better now?
How are you doing? Do you paint in your spare time?

...I broke out in several cold sweats from the pain. I called my mother downstairs and asked her to call the drs and cancel for me. Later she told me it was the answering machine but only told the hours. She was right...also it dawned on me that today is Wed - my drs day off. Maybe the nurse practioner was there but if they were I couldn't communicate with them; so the heck with them. I really wonder sometimes how drs offices function. Needless to say I am better some in the coughing/sneezing/stuffed sinus'/congestion aspect. The stomach attach I think was partly IBS but it could have been from something I ate yesterday. I finally got back to bed and slept off and on and got better in the respect. Kind of ridiculous at this point to even go to the drs.

I sure hope you don't get this. How nice; you were going to paint; get anything productive done? You've so much more ambition than I have nowdays; not like in my youth...oh well, things do change; so do priorities I suppose.

Glad you're not frazzled today. I am bit frazzled myself. My mother did something that caused her drain to be clogged up; she had to call our neighbor in. We have needed a plumber for weeks now since there is a leaking pipe below our kitchen sink; so washing dishes it a big issue. I have to do it in bowls and then throw the water into the sink or toilet. We were hoping they would add it to the home renuvations but now it's getting a bit ridiculous and I am really fed up. She went and put coffee grounds and thick tomato soup down the drain in the bathroom. I was furious with her, because she knows not to do it. I am still quite sick, so my patience level is pretty low today... just took me a hour to clean up my dishes.

Wait until you hear this, on top of this horrible day, I got an appointment with the nurse practioner today at 12; I woke up with horrid pains in my gut; thought I was dying; spend the morning running to the bathoom and also I threw up a little once...

Hey, that was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. I am going to bed now. I have a dr appointment tomorrow at noon. They won't order antibiotics over the phone; just pray I don't contract anything else. I am feeling some better and would love to cancel now but my mother said she thinks I should still go.

Is it good to be frazzled? hahah I need to get back to being frazzeled myself and get this china packed for the renuvations, or I will be plenty sorry. I guess we need to get frazzled to get anything productive done.

Enjoy your day tomorrow and thanks for the article - I liked it.

Hope work is not too brutal on you....at least you won't be bored. I wish I could work - preferable to being sick....but then again.....oh well, we just never are satisfied, are we? Take care, quim and hope your day was a good one! I called a short time ago for my dr to call in antibiotics to the pharmacy; I am still too sick to go to him and he will usually do this in that case....since he knows me and my family well. I hope by now they have the order.

Why are you bored? I am going stark raving mad myself - I haven't been able to use my voice now for 3 days - talk about isolation. I am still feeling pretty bad. I guess it will take time. I am kind of bored right now myself. I am going to bed now. I could have sworn I wrote you another note tonight but I can't find it....how odd...

Take care gim and I hope you get unbored soon enough.

Thanks! An A.A. is Associates of Arts degree. There are not many jobs really that ask for it. It is better to have a Bachelor's. An A.A. is what you get before you get a Bachelor's degree, but some people don't bother and just get the Bachelor's. Many coding jobs are asking for an A.A. though. As for the picture, yes--I'm pleased with it even if I didn't win the contest. It was the first picture I started experimenting with, and I liked the results. It occurred to me that many colors have a faint color underneath. You see mostly blue--but then you see a hint of gray. While it is difficult to do with colored pencil, I'm starting to put down underlying colors first before the major color. I'm reading Girl with a Pearl Earring--and I was interested to learn that Vermeer did the same thing. Of course, it is easier with paint than colored pencil.

No, but it was awfully nice to have Wednesday off. I know how much you enjoyed those days off. It was a pleasure to read about them. Jersea

Hi! I hope you are well! I am finally over the flu and trying to get back to my studies, but it is hard after a month of illness. I have decided to go back and get my A.A. if I can get financial aide, since I am only nine credits from getting it (though six are math, which I suck at). I didn't win my art contest, but my submission does get shown with all the others on YouTube--which is neat. I took a risk doing a collage because the person wanted us to do ONE scene from ONE game--and I did many scenes from two games. That may have cost me the competition. Of course, another thing is that I think they were looking for a general theme that represents the game, where I did a specific one--focusing on one storyline. Anyway, I'm still proud of my submission. There was a short story contest, but I'm a little contest out--and besides, I am trying to get back on track with my studies.

Oh why thank you!

Gee it's been ages since I've been around here..
How are you my friend?
