Hi,
I spent two nights throwing out my colleague's crap -- I want to feel better about being in the office. I was getting depressed and feeling weighed down. I spent a a total of 6 or 7 hours so far going through filing cabinets and moving books. He was a control freak about the office and a neat freak. He had a file for everything and saved stuff that he will never use. So I consolidated his junk into two filing cabinets, one desk, and one bookshelf. That is enough for if/when he comes back from sick leave/disability. By going through his stuff, I got another look into his mind -- and it is not pretty. Now the stuff is on the way to the garbage. I left at 11:15 tonight with piles and piles of paper and photocopies stacked in the hall for the cleaning crew. And I feel that a weight has been lifted off me. I got sweaty and worked muscles I normally don't work. I am going to take a hot shower Now. I am going to find ways to bring new life into the office. M. |

I am glad you feel the burden lifting. He sounds so sad. It would be so easy to give in to his need for love and attention. But the cost is so high.
I am so proud of you. |

I'm so proud of you. Way to go. You are doing the best thing for yourself. Now go out and buy a plant to start. Then get somethings to make the office come alive for you. Donna |

It feels good to sweat sometimes!
Great way to take some control of your surroundings. Bet you will sleep good tonight! bizi

Hi Mari,
A shower always feels best after working hard like you did. I hope you are resting now and that your muscles are not sore tomorrow. befuddled2 |

I bought a huge Poinsettia plant at Target and two red pillows for my chairs to liven up the place. I have no idea why this is an issue for me -- only that I have to carry out what I feel that I need to do. (no point in blocking myself). My sister "gets" it and I think that you all do. Thank you very much. M. |

I bet the plant is very pretty, they seem to be wonderful at the stores....ya know I have heard the best way to water them is with an ice cube, slowly melts...never had one so am not sure if that works or not.
I am happy for you about your new pillows too! bizi
