So glad people like the CHICKEN SHIrT tee, it was Suzanne's idea. I just made it happen. Maybe I should try and advertise it more and Suzanne and I can become rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you should!

Woke up at 330 .i was so wide awake I thought the battery in the clock died...Not.
Suzanne make sure you stretch before you start in the yard.stress is a monster on muscles.
I finished my scarf ,so onto the next project. Richard has been bugging me for a hat. I really want to work on something already started but you know how that goes.
Got my flu shot yesterday. One thing off the list.
Treated myself to a $15 pedi/ mani yesterday and the woman was as sick as a dog. Needless to say I wanted to scream. Should have just stuck with chips and cracks . My son is coming home next week and I never know if he might bring his girlfriend. I shouldn't care but I do.
Try to enjoy the day everyone

oooo I like that idea. Then we can go somewhere warm and lie around pretending we're orphans.

How about a chicken on top of a Christmas tree? Or a chicken in a pear tree? A chicken on top of a menorah? (Happy Henukkah). A chick in a Christmas stocking?

And don't forget "Talk is Cheep".

I got a million of 'em!

I can second the Drink fluids to lessen stress. That does mean water, not some of the other more recreational fluids that somehow just wind up increasing stress...But, at a workshop for people working with folks who were having a difficult time with anxiety and grief and fears after 9/11, we were told that the body when stressed produces substances left over from the fight or flight days that would help the individual. Those substances are water soluble and are not helpful to us at this point in our evolution, so to lessen those horrible feelings, drink lots of plain old comforting WATER.

And, Suzanne, dementia might be part of the problem with your mom. Any way to give her love and stay away from the money issue?

I had a long, loud and productive conversation with Mom this morning. I think what's behind all of this is fear. Fear that she won't have enough money to survive and that we won't help her in that case. I tried to reassure her and we ended on a good note - including her agreeing to share Thanksgiving at my brother's house. Let's hope she sticks with that decision.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue...

Suzanne, I meant to tell you how gorgeous that afghan is! It's amazing what one can get done preparing for a storm. I finished a quilt during Irene and still think of it as my hurricane quilt even though ninety nine percent was already done prior! It kept me calm though.. anyway, nice job!!

I'm tired of crying too Littlecritters....... almost to the point of feeling like the rest of the flock is out of the woods so the stress is lessening a bit but I've been feeling like crap all week probably in response to the stress!

Wish I could wave a magic wand and make all of this go away.
