My dad is in the hospital with heart problems.  My father-in-law is in the hopital for back surgery.  Monique has been up in NH since Monday morning to help her mom while her dad's in the hospital, a trip that was only supposed to be two days.  Monique just found out she's losing one of her key managers to a better paying job.  She also may have her entire division moved under a most unfavorable other division (which has more key personnel looking for a new job).  She was in tears when I spoke to her today.  This has been a(nother) week from Hell at work.  I'm totally fatigued and to make matters worse, my Fall allergies kicked in yesterday.  I'm ready for a break.

On the bright side, being the Dunkin' Donuts coffee hound that I am, this had me in tears today.  Nothing like a laugh to brighten up even the worst of days.

::hugs:: You're a fantastic person and I know you're working hard to keep everything in your life in balance right now. I'm sorry to hear about the health and work problems your family members are dealing with right now. Where in NH is Monique?

And thank you for the encouraging message you left on my lj! I saw it right after I finished leaving my comment for you. We should definitely both keep thinking positive thoughts and hope the easier days get here soon! :)

Aaaaah! What a revolting thought. I've had four Fridays this week already. Tuesday through Friday all felt like the week was way to long and should have been over. The thought of a fifth Friday this week is truly frightening.

Hugs back atcha.

Maybe we should switch lives for a day and I'll go tell your bosses what I think of them and then you'll go tell my...wait. Hmm. Somehow that would probably create a paradox and the world would implode, wouldn't it?

i hear ya

Yessh, what's in the water these days? Seems like many people on my friends' list are having it rough right now. For what it's worth, I've long (since I started reading your lj) admired your consideration for others, positive outlook, and unfailing grace under pressure-- you manage to persevere and keep a good attitude under situations that would have felled many a lesser person. Hang in there -- maybe the universe will send you cookies?

I can haz cookies? :-)

Thanks. I cling this tenaciously to *my* cookies.

I will see you at Madrigal? I have something very special for the Anaketh at this event.

Ah, donuts. Is there anything they can't do?

I'm sad to hear it's another red letter day in your household, but at least you've got donuts. :)

What a great icon. Thanks.

And a great sentiment. Mad-ri-gal! Mad-ri-gal! Thank goodness I get a little NERO goodness before then because three weeks is still too long.

Too long?

Holy cow...I have waaay too much to do.

When "real" life is as bad as it's been, there's nothing like a healthy dose of make believe to help restore my sanity. That is why three more weeks is too long.

I have much prep work as well, but what gets done, gets done. What doesn't, doesn't.

You're exactly right. This is the perspective I need to take.
