Nibbs XXXIV (Page 56)

Ok Mel and Yanti - I think I need to leave you... Im meeting one of the tri girls at the gym in about 45 minutes and I have NO idea how long its going to take to get there..

Bike shop still hasnt called about my bike I really really want it so I can go riding tomorrow... oh well there is always tomorrow afternoon... can spend the morning with my bro!

Take Care!

Have a good afternoon...and best of luck to your brother. 

You are in a very frustrating situation and I don't know of any magical fixes. 

Good night beth, Sleep well. 

I think that I need to find a job...I am no longer mentally/emotionally able to 'work' at my parents place.  My mom desperately needs the help and it would be better if I made the 88 hours/month of respite care available for someone else to do. 

I think that I am just shutting down because the stress levels are so high over there.  

It looks like tomorrow is going to be our last snow day.  The rain is on its way and the snow will be just a memory come Christmas.

Sounds like there is a LOT to consider.  Being BP, I try to avoid high pressure situations-especially when there are a lot of other things changing.  Whatever you do, make sure to stay in touch with your Dr.   I got out of touch with my Dr. after moving to Canada (it was more his fault than mine) and had my first truly manic episode...I was getting close to being admitted, but my parents realized what was happening and my dad fetched me home.

You definitely need to take care of yourself first. Your own job could definitely be a lower-stress, much more of a 'building' and self-regulating, stabilizing factor.

It's always hard to work for family, no matter what.

Raleigh's still way cheaper than California.

The area is really nice.

There are lots of nice places to drive to in the South--I loved travelling there even though I *hated*, and this level of *hate* cannot be overstated, where I was.

Spokes - 2008-12-21 9:30 PM I don't see how you can stand living up there in the rain and the gloom that lasts for months. I know the summers are gorgeous - but getting there would be such a long haul

Although it is often overcast, it doesn't rain nearly as much as people are led to believe.  And when the sun comes out it is that much more precious.  And there are more rainbow opportunities. 

And how many sentence fragments can I start with and... 

oooh, that's a plus.

You need to trust your own judgment.  

I have learned that the little voice that gives caution is well grounded and should be listened to. Now I just need to give the little voice more creditability before I've blown it. Maybe someday I will learn...

Alright S.C.

I need to turn in for the night. 

Don't let the little terror drive you crazy. 

G'night.

I think I could get used to it. I mean, I've lived in cold climates ... I think a major reason I think Southern California is 'cold' is that I expect it to be warm, and it's often not, I'm majorly underdressed for it, and I currently have a roommate who thinks that 60 degrees indoors is fine. BRRRRRRRRRR ...
