Hi everyone!! Finally, after 7 mos, it hit 70 in Chicago!! A bit on the

breezy side, but the sunshine makes everything great!! Nothing new

in the last few days that I haven't complained about on posts.


Brain--I hated it when my old Golden Brutus would eat the baby bunnies.

I'd hear squeaking, and think he'd found one of his toys, but he'd look up

and there'd be bunny fur hanging out of his mouth. Gross!!

Jan--hope you get some relief for that darn back!! The job scare sure

won't help, will it? Hope that your info is wrong!! I always love how

you concentrate on something positive, like the good weather. Prayers

are with you!!

Lisa--sorry you didn't get tenure. That stinks!! Glad you found the island.

We need some nice Hawaiian music and a Tropical Sunsplash, please.

See you all next week!!

Hey Debbie, what you said to me about my job brought tears to my eyes. Truly your kind thoughts touched me very much.v

Sadly the 3 of us most at risk for losing our job are the most compassionate and caring...going that extra mile for our patients.

To help me deal with the insecurity with the unknowing future of my job, I asked my mom in heaven to show me a sign. The very next day, a very chronically sick woman (chronic alcoholic with an eating disorder, depression) came to me in a panic and I helped her. Its just what I do.

But the very next day she thought she had an "epiphany" and for the first time feels like LIVING. She contributes this hopeful change to my showing her that she is worth it. Just wished my clinical supervisor who has it out for me wouldve seen her face. She was glowing with hopeful beauty ~!

I see you live in Naperiville, is that in Northern Illinois?
Not too far from Milwaukee, is it?

Hope an act of kindness finds you real soon~!

Gratefully, Jan

Jan - that really stinks about your job! I sure hope it's just a fasle alarm, but know you're in my prayers, okay?


Momx7 - I took buspar for about a year, many years ago. It was a very helpful med for me, and I hope you get some help from it too. Makes sense, how you doc summed things up. I never thought of it that way. But she has some very good points.

Buspar helped me stop over analysing things, stopped my mind from spinning all night, keeping me awake worrying. I could think a lot more clearly with it.

As I remember, I did have less emotion - good and bad - but don't remember any other effects from it. I got off it when life calmed down.


Shashi - Sorry about the job! I hope something (better) comes along, and soon. (((((Hugs))))


Debbie - we just got your 70 degrees! Thank you!
