I've been flirting around the edges of one myself, nothing obviously wrong, just something not quite right. Hope you are well again soon!Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943596258182968212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160223532207347025.post-48226577039565628002009-05-14T09:51:00.000-04:002009-05-14T09:51:00.000-04:00Hi Doctordi!

They turn corn into fuel, you'd think scientists could come up with something for snot! It's really a very useless bodily fluid, don't you think? :>Gradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526750467742207099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160223532207347025.post-3980878190915012972009-05-13T21:17:00.000-04:002009-05-13T21:17:00.000-04:00Grad, I am so glad you're back and on the road to ...Grad, I am so glad you're back and on the road to recovery if not quite sprinting down it... I think Litlove's right - sometimes these things feel very 'chicken and egg' - but being unwell tends to make everything look shoddier, don't you think? And because you're an optimist and a generally well person, I think these things punch the stuffing out more than if you were a natural sad sack and much more accustomed to disappointment. Also, worries about Shorty will be playing on you even when you're unaware, so I think there are good reasons why you feel a little off, quite apart from the snot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160223532207347025.post-10709074108116831762009-05-13T10:34:00.000-04:002009-05-13T10:34:00.000-04:00Janell, Litlove, and Debi: You are all so special...Janell, Litlove, and Debi: You are all so special. I've been getting back on-line to read your blogs, and am feeling a lot more like myself for doing so. I think a lot of this has to do with worrying over Shorty's increasing memory problems. I think I'm afraid of losing a part of my "Mommy." Also, this damn cold makes it difficult to stay as active as I'm used to. But...baby steps.Gradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526750467742207099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160223532207347025.post-72357581101201838202009-05-13T09:09:00.000-04:002009-05-13T09:09:00.000-04:00Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you've been under the wea...Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you've been under the weather! And I'm sorry about that "unsettled" feeling, too. I do understand what you're talking about, and frankly I'm sure it's been even harder to deal with than the cold/bug which at least has a concrete explanation. I will certainly be thinking about you and hoping that things come back in balance soon.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160223532207347025.post-11127737013166324362009-05-13T03:16:00.000-04:002009-05-13T03:16:00.000-04:00Poor Grad!

A therapist friend of mine used to call them 'a different way of crying'. Rest up and take care of yourself, and the chances are that if there is something you need to hear or realise or understand, some gentle peace and attentiveness to yourself will bring it right out into the open, solution attached.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160223532207347025.post-35284514757563658342009-05-12T22:16:00.000-04:002009-05-12T22:16:00.000-04:00I'm sorry you've been feeling out of sorts. I know...I'm sorry you've been feeling out of sorts. I know I have been through similar periods of "vague malaise" (great description). I always wonder if it's a hormonal or chemical imbalance, or God's way of telling me that something is not quite right, or something else entirely. All I know is that it always passes, and hopefully it will be sooner rather than later for you! You're in my thoughts.Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673883808842901302noreply@blogger.com
