hi karin,

makes me tired just to think of your day?

i don't have bronch......it's roger, i'm in this support group for~however, i do have advanced arthritis and stay active.....if i stop the pain hits me!

i think you'll realise that the effort involved for getting your flu shot will be worth it......this goes for everyone.......maybe you'll find someone as helpful as norma's helpers in your line up!

pse try to take time for you, karin.

Yes, they are giving them out, "But

you'd better come in sooner than that appointment, because we might run out by then." SIGH. So I have to leave school early one day this week and hightail it down there to get the stupid shot.

I'm 32. I do take time for myself, when I can- like yesterday and

today, I've barely done a freakin' thing, and am loving it. No,

actually, I did mega laundry and have cleaned some, but, eh, don't

really feel like doing anymore right now. Maybe later. I'm also

thinking about going for a walk later. It's pretty nice outside

right now.

I think you are doing wonderful! In Tibetan Buddhism, relationships are considered "scorchers" spiritually. They can lead to fast spiritual progress. Or, as I have sometimes heard, disaster. I am very hesitant about relationships. I have not drank in over three years. I think that romantic relationships can sometimes lead to drinking. But you seem stronger than me. So congratulations for fast spiritual progress. Intimate relationships are not one of my values. I don't like pain. :)See what's new at AOL.com and Make AOL Your Homepage.
