Thanks all for the cheering up yesterday....

...I'm still not thrilled but life moves on and I'm *much* better today. The jokes were great--you're all pretty cool, y'know?

It's good that the jokes worked, some of them were pretty funny. I hope things start to look up for you soon!

Well, the thing is, my husband found a new job that he really wants, which is good. But it means a pretty sharp cut in pay, which is really NOT good. It will give him great experience and it's not 'permanent', so it's not like this is it forever, but will make it harder for awhile. I'm just so sick of the years of really bad financial struggles we went through (and I went through with my ex) that I have no desire to go back to that...I'm just hoping my books take off more and make up for some of the difference. It's not like we'll be starving or anything, but it will be appreciable and I won't be able to get a second car after all, unless something comes through, so will be stuck at home 24/7 during the week because he will be commuting a lot farther and won't be able to come home if I need him to (which he can now if it's important, he's got a lot more flextime now than he will have). So I'm happy for him, but it's going to suck in other ways for awhile. Argh, why can't anything ever be smooth?

Because we wouldn't learn anything that way.....damn cosmic powers and them making us learn all the time. Well keep in mind that it is temporary and it will make him happy, so two pluses to add to the minuses.

ROFL...then I must have a PhD in scrimping and scrounging by now. The past few years have been pretty good, but most of the rest of my life was based on gritting the teeth and hanging on. I've decided the Universe needs to let up--you can't expect a horse to work itself to death without giving it a nice meadow and hay at least part of the time (and I'm not talking about a three hour period in a year). So I'm having a talk with the cosmos tonight and saying, "Get your act together or I'll make you get it together." ~grins~ I believe in being pro-active.

Of course I know how cool I am. Even the Gods know! The fortune within the fortune cookie I got today stated:

"Everyone knows you're the best."

I plan to keep it until the rest of the world realizes the truth held within the infinitely wise fortune cookie. :hehehe:

I'm glad you are feeling better though. _pounce_

[Keroberos]

You give the ultimate forces a good talking too! We should set up some sort of meeting about making things not suck so much when they do.

(((Yazza))) I missed out yesterday.

I did see this nifty little sticker....
I kept trying to figure out why the frisbee was getting bigger and bigger,
then it hit me.

Oh...if the Lighten Up speech to the Universe works, would you mind publishing that one? I'm almost certain it will be a best seller!

[Keroberos]

what are you talking about with the frisbee thing?

[Jenne]

:hugz: Hon...I missed your doldrums yesterday I believe...but I'm glad the MW'rs here cheered ya up some! More :hugz:

[MerrisHawk]

The frisbee thing? lol double meaning in "it hit me" The metaphor - I figured out why it was getting bigger and........The fact - it really hit me. lol
It's funny, it really is, trust me. Tired funny, but funny. :heybaby:

[morrigen]

I haven't been around for a couple of days....Yaz, I didn't know :(

But I hope the universe gets it's proverbial together for you soon :hugz:

Actually, I have to tell you it usually does work (and I love the Frisbee thang!). When I get upset or complacent, that's when things go to hell...when I turn my tears into determination that I'm not going to put up with things the way they are, it seems to work on two levels--A) I get things done instead of sitting around sniffling (even if I still sniffle while I do them) and B) it seems to shake up the energy that has settled into a stagnant state. LOL...which is why, when things seem a little chaotic or in a rut, I go around my house ringing a bell like crazy and smudging to high heaven--it shakes the energy and lets me make use of it rather than be overwhelmed by it. Hard to explain, but kind of like when a good rain comes through and clears the air, you know?

Thanks *smiles*...it will, because the alternative is something I refuse to accept. LOL, I am not a woman who chooses to let fate run over her, I'd rather be in control of that which I can control--and there's a lot that can be done.

Yas :colorful: (see? I had my tearful session and now I'm ready to take action--once you acknowledge feelings, let them come out, then you can do something about them without feeling trapped or overwhelmed by them...hard lesson I've learned through life).

Yazz, things will be better...I've always found this to be true... But I went back and read the original post and the replys...I laughed so hard I cried :lol: Now I've got to go redo my eyes dammit........ :hugz:

Thanks, OW...and yeah, they will. It's just that there's been so many ups and downs the past five years, with my mother's illness and death, my husband's condition (did you hear, we finally have a 'probable' diagnosis on it? Not fatal but far from a good thing), the up and down dot.com market, me shifting from nonfiction to fiction (a good thing but I've been working my fingers to the bone for months now)...I really was hoping next year would just sort of...not slide by, but go by uneventfully except for some good things for a change.

LOL...well...I guess my life is never uneventful!

Hugs and yeah, those jokes were a bundle of laughs!
