The past few days have been unproductive, which means that list will be much more stressful this weekend if left unattended to. Ok I will get back to work after this one post.

I have a 15 page paper to write, a journal log for class, a 10 page testing report to work on this afternoon, lunch to make at home, a dissertation to begin, a publication to finish, cupcakes to bake for tomorrow (my closest friend is moving 3 hours away), I think that is all. Oh and the doctor to call and beg for a new medication without making me come visit him again or pay anything additional as I do not have health insurance and got a school voucher on the last visit and the meds only cost $10.

Financially things are terrible. I will soon owe $100,000 is student loans. My credit card bills are a few thousand. My husband is still unemployed. I despise more than 75% of the people in my program and I have 2 years remaining. I also hate small town life. I am a city girl, no offense to anyone who isn't. But it isn't for me. I guess it could be way worse. I need to spin this positively, right?

What is on my plate that is good - is what I should be saying instead. I have a husband who loves me, although we've been arguing for days and not really communicating this week, but it always works out. I have the most amazing pet family in the planet (2 dogs, 2 cats - the best bunch ever). I have a lovely duplex. My car is reliable, although in need of body repairs as I was hit this weekend but thankfully, he wrote me a check yesterday. I have a lovely office that is quiet and zen. I have a brain to some extent -- just need more motivation to actually use it and get work done. I have a family out there, somewhere miles away. I have friends too that are so far away but somewhere out there. There is a world I'd love to travel one day. And I have goals, yes goals to accomplish. So much I want to do and see. That is what is on my plate. Fighting each day and not giving up.

HUGZ ABUNDANTLY !!!!! In all things.:hug: :hug: :hug:

Thanks Mark. How about you? How was your visit with the family? I am trying to get this paper done and am procrastinating heavily. :grouphug:

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

We had a good time

Enjoyed our weekend. My wife is preparing for an art gallery show in which she will be featured, so she has been "burning the midnight oil" as she wraps things up. Her work is beautiful, and I hope it catches the eye of those who behold. :)

May your work on papers proceed apace and much ground be covered. :hug:

Wish, your plate sounds heavy...please pass it around. :hug:

We are in my favorite city, New York with our granddaughter and having so much fun I feel a little guilty. :rolleyes: Today is the first time I've had on the computer and am trying to catch up....email was scary !! lol

Went to see Jimmy Fallon yesterday (he tapes in the afternoon) and he was funny!! (I'd never seen him before because I can't stay up that late!) But our granddaughter can and does.

Last night we saw Phantom of the Opera and LOVED it! We had seen it about 20 yrs ago but she wanted to go and I'm so glad we did. Music is still in my head today.

Went shopping in SoHo and she specifically wanted to see the DASH store. We did that. :confused: (remember I am old!!) I'm not sure who the Kardashian sisters are!!

This morning we stood around outside the Today Show with a couple hundred people and got some fun pictures of the cast.

Went to 911 Memorial, took the Staten Island Ferry back and forth...did I mention my back hurts? *grin

Life is short and I feel very blessed. Thank you Lord. :circlelove:

Sounds like you are having a bunch of fun!
loved phantom of the opera!!!!!!!! but that was 20 years ago too.
How is the weather?
bizi

Phantom of the Opera is one of my all time favorites :) :hug:

Well I know this isn't the wonder thread but I am wondering about so many things...Mark have you heard about the bar exam? And when is the Art gallery show?
Wren, how is your elbow? Goofy is it getting any better? Wish, did you get that paper done? And the most important thing is having a loving, supportive husband!! I've had one for 56 years now...and your life will get better!! :hug:

eva you always say the right thing! :grouphug:

Bizi I loved talking to you yesterday!! Have fun in Fla and give hubby a hug from me.

Barbo I miss you and will see you next week.

Abbie I am sending you positive thoughts.

Hugs for the room!!

New York New York that toddling town....:D (singing Mark but wrong show!)
