MM and a request

[crowdog66]

MM is done -- or at least, this set of 58 pages is. And in spite of the invoice deadline being last Friday, my editor has said he'll put all the pages in anyway so the cheque will be issued this Friday. This is excellent news to me, because money is getting a leeeeeeeeetle bit tight.

I was actually up at 4:30 am this morning, which is the earliest I've been up in at least 20 years without having stayed up the entire night previous. It was easier getting up than I thought it would be, considering I took a tranquillizer last night before bed because of anxiety. In fact, it was NOT the dragging-myself-over-broken-glass experience I usually encounter when rising early in the morning, which surprised me more than a little. Not that I'm complaining... I was able to get to work within twenty minutes of waking up, and got the pages turned in this morning right on schedule.

I have to go out later this afternoon and pay our phone/internet/cable bill (they're all on one now, which is most annoying), as well as pick up some medication. I'm going to try to stay up all evening and go to bed somewhat early, with the intention of rising early again tomorrow -- not QUITE so early, but something more reasonable, say around 8 am. I have a 10 am appointment out in my mother's (former) end of town for a consult about a sigmoidoscopy (WARNING: don't click the link if you're at all squicky about the rectum and lower colon); I'm not looking forward to the bus trip, but a consult is a LOT better than undergoing the sigmoidoscopy itself (which is probably the next step in the process). Bleh. Yeah.

I did mention a request in the entry title, so... I'm feeling depressed and rather small and shabby, so anything good anyone would care to say about me would be gratefully heard/read right now. Give me a compliment, and I'll happily give you one in return. :-)

I can do better than a compliment. I actually have a small gifty for you. I've been meaning to bring it by but I'm easily distracted these days and haven't gotten around to it. Will you be home this Thursday between 4 and 6?

And no compliment or gift is required in return.

Hi! *hugs* You're a nifty, intelligent person who was kind enough to reach out to me when I needed support last year, and the world is definitely a fairer place with you in it. No return needful - it's just the truth. Thanks for being You. :-)

Although I don't always leave comments after your posts, I honestly enjoy reading them. I got to know you via GAFF and was curious because you seemed like a cool chick and I haven't been disappointed.

To keep going despite your depression and the recent hardships you have faced is pretty admirable in my opinion.

Complimentary enough? haha

You're my best friend! What's nicer than that? ;)

*HUGS*

There are so many things I'm thankful for in life, knowing you is in my top 3. You are super creative, even on those days you don't think you are, and I admire you so much. Thank you for being my friend and being there for me. Seriously. (((LOVE)))

Laurie, there are honestly tons of nice things i could say about you. you are an intelligent, strong woman who never fails to inspire me, and I consider you an Elder of the Craft and a Sister.
Yikes, a sigmoidoscopy...((hugs)). Let's pray the consult is all you need ((cringes))

You're one of the kindest and most thoughtful people that I know, and considering some of the things you struggle with everyday, you're also one of the strongest. I hope this makes you feel a little bigger and less shabby.
