Sounds like we are all in the same boat. It is just depressing but we

have to hang on for better times. What are you getting a degree in?

That is great that you are doing that for yourself. Ignore the bill

meanies and just keep looking to your future. It will get better!

Sophia.... I know it's tough, and it's very depressing huh? I know that feeling... :-(

Hang on to that hope, that says the future will change. For some reason, for now, you have to endure. I know you are doing the best you can. Me too.

I feel soooo well - my body is really hurting since last night. We got a little rain - maybe that is what brought it on. I started feeling depressed last night. I hate that - I had I think 4 good days... then "whoomp" - here come the ows and depression with it.

Well at least I went to bed early last night... ;-)
