What?! You mean you're not one of those shiny happy people on the Paxil spots? Or a big Zero followed by the bluebird of happiness once you take a Zoloft? And what is it with that poor woman with ADD, and how did the Crunch fitness bunny get into her head?
I just don't see myself in those commercials ... I must be doing something wrong!
aCk! 8*b <-- my Bill the Cat impersonation, btw
> AHA! You've just touched on something there, Mr FineLine. The only way I'm getting through these days is by being as tense as possible ... The best way I can find to describe it is that if I don't have that tension holding my skin over my bones, my skin will just come apart and there'll be nothing holding me together.I would have to wrap my arms around my chest and squeeze. If I let go, I'd unravel. Problem was I'd feel hollow at the same time, so there was also the chance that I'd crush myself.
As Willy Wonka said: "The suspense is terrible. I hope it'll last."
> And if it's really awful, I can always rip out the yarn and try again. But I want something I do to turn out right about now, you know? ... I need some sort of success.So, can you take it 10 or 20 stitches at a time then let us know how you're doing? It sounds like you've got sooooo much of it done already -- I wish you could send us a picture! (not to put any PrEsSuRe on you ... I just loved your description but words can't do it justice, I'm sure!).
That's about how I handle my studying for my real estate class right now -- read 10 or 20 words, go play a game of solitaire, read another 20, go walk my dog.....
> Hell, I'm not managing successful closure on cleaning the catboxes these days, you know?I don't have cats, primarily for THAT very reason! ;^)
Hey ... it's only 2am eastern: Where is everybody?!
