< For me being told that I have to do something takes any good that it may do away. I can't get past the part that I am ordered. If someone asks or says they need something done I'm to first to volunteer, but order me to do something and I'll fight it all the way. >
Hey, wow...that is me!
I really wonder if there`s some truth in this *zodiac sign* thing? I am not *convinced* yet, but it`s maybe worth to attempt further research? ;o)< Sometimes I'm more apt to listen to a man's perspective.Perhaps it is because their emotions are at a different level than us women? Who knows? >
Yes? Hmm, I would not say that. I`ve met some coldhearted and careless women, but also some kind and understanding men.
Oh...now that I mention it (kind and understanding, that is), may I ask you (all of you, the more the better) for a big hug? You ask why so? Well, when I read ACK`s post about *surgery* I immediately flew from this site (warp 9, Scotty!!!). I did not want to be reminded of my own planned visit to the hospital next week, but now... well there`s no other way than to accept it, I guess. I am in bad pain for about 6 weeks now (they assume it`s a trapped nerve due to a hernia, which is located beneath my last rib). I made the mistake to rely on my *surviving mechanism* - "there is no pain, pain is just in your head". This usually works for a rather long time, I just tell myself "you can notice that there is something hurting, but you must not let it *effect* you!". It`s a good mechanism to cope with a *short term* problem, but now I had to learn that it has quite the opposite effect if *overdid*. Appearing at work despite my bad condition wasn´t a good idea either, I suppose.
Well then...next task for me: learn how to take better care of yourself.Hmm...and once I managed that, I`ll learn how to "cut a long story short". Promise ;o)
Thank you all - especially Willow my *zodiac sign match* :o)
