Pam ... I agree with everyone ... I always leave a light on (like over the sink - because when someone would try to shut it off, they'd hit the disposal button instead!) ... AND I always have the radio going .. sometimes, I set the radio alarm during a time I'll be gone - so it comes on later.

well, I guess Jenn won't be sharing her winnings or cookies!! it's great to hear that a fun-time was had by all (and especially those that won REALLY had a fun-time!!)

UPDATE:
I'm sorry - these last couple of days, I've been in some sort of 'funk' ... that I'm not doing enough .. and then have to deal with having an illness to get the disability approved, so I don't have a lawyer bill if the judge looks at me and decides that I 'look' good enough to get a job ...

had a 'melt-down' and I'm tired of living a double-life - I want to do so much with the quilt outreach, but in a way, my hands are tied because of the waiting for the approval ...

had to learn the hardway who my true/real friends/family are that want me to be around ... apparently, I mentioned something about 'still waiting' for the SSDI at the Christmas round-robin last saturday - that one friend said to another that they feel that I'm pretty down (I have some awesome friends - sometimes TOO good - because they can read past my smiles and laughter).

I'm tired of waiting for answers ... tired of packing .. tired of moving to a place that is nice, but it's not what I'd really like - but because of my situation, I just have to suck it up and deal with it ... (I hate the saying: it is what it is) ..

I don't know how to pull myself up from the bootstraps anymore - pretty much wore them out, and there's nothing left to hang on to ...

apparently, I don't know how to forgive myself ... and I have a ton of regrets that have pounded me this last week ... although I thought I made some good choices, actually turned out that they weren't that good ...

well, no more worries ... guess I won't be moving - the girl just called to tell me that they needed a co-signer for the apartment ... well, that's not going to happen .. so, I won't be moving ...

so sorry for dumping this on you .. thanks for listening ...
