HOLY MACKEREL!! Tonight my professor told me I can knit during class! That's right: knit during class! She said, you don't have to put that away on my account. So I didn't. And it was so cool! I can do my homework at work; I can knit during class. Does it get any better? | ||

No. That's the apex. | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 969 Registered: 10-2003 |
Does't seem as thrilling when you say it. Seems kind of pathetic actually. | ||
| sbenois Supporter Username: Sbenois Post Number: 14602 Registered: 10-2001 |
Holy cow! You can knit in class! That is so great. better? | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 970 Registered: 10-2003 |
Yes, thank you. | ||

You mention the word pathetic (which your excitement over knitting/homework is not - I'd be psyched too): if anyone else who used to live at Ten Plymouth with you is lurking, that strikes me as a little pathetic yet understandable too. If you're done, then be done & move on... | ||

Las, Yoga tomorrow? | ||

I'm going, too. | ||
| mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 5750 Registered: 5-2001 |
Cool. The teacher said she could have helped with Las's neck when I told her about it. | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 974 Registered: 10-2003 |
Oh, Mem, you didn't! Please, tell me you didn't tell her... Thanks, Dave for protecting me. I always feel safe when you're around. By the way: have any straight, single, male friends? | ||
| mem Citizen Username: Mem Post Number: 5751 Registered: 5-2001 |
I did tell her! She was concerned... | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 975 Registered: 10-2003 |
Mem, kitten, how could she be concerned? I left that class smiling. Did you say something to her that made her concerned? oh, remember las from last week? well.... | ||

Hey Dave, if you're in the mood to get rid of some trolls, I can name a few more for you!  | ||

Oh, and have fun at Yoga guys. I'm jealous. (And I told las they could help her with her neck!) | ||

The Thursday teacher could work her magic on anything that ails you. I'm coming in tomorrow with a list. | ||

Pippi and I asked last week and no one answered... (me that is, I dunno about all the private emails going back and forth!) | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 3031 Registered: 12-2004 |
I believe they go to Shakti. Went there last Sunday night for Zen yoga and it was fabulous. Las was the one who told me about it, and she was supposed to go with me--but didn't because of the pinched nerve. | ||
| ess Citizen Username: Ess Post Number: 1104 Registered: 11-2001 |
Shakti - 7:45 Thursday night. Or Zen yoga 5:45 Sunday and 12:25 Monday. | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 976 Registered: 10-2003 |
I will never again attend Thursday night yoga because I am now too embarrassed to show my face. I got hurt at yoga. And I think everyone should know that Meandtheboys told me everything about everything before anyone else ever said anything about anything. | ||

| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 978 Registered: 10-2003 |
No, I'm not! I'm trying to make you look like you're the IT Girl. Not the Virtual IT Girl (because nobody's more Virtually IT than VIG), but the IT Girl for everything else. Promise. | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 3034 Registered: 12-2004 |
O.K. but it sounds like you're saying I'm a "know-it-all" and I sure as hell am not. Unless you're my husband, and then I'm always right! As most women usually are! But that's a whole other "mars and venus" thing. | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 980 Registered: 10-2003 |
Oh, no, dear. Not a know-it-all at all. Just want everyone to know you're so IN you don't need to know extraneous details. I promise this is said with admiration. | ||
| Meandtheboys Citizen Username: Meandtheboys Post Number: 3035 Registered: 12-2004 |

Hmmm, 5:45 on a Sunday could possibly maybe work. | ||

las, sorry I totally misunderstood who was using the new username of your old address - maybe I was channeling Oliver Stone or something & seeing some intricate conspiracy plot - what a bonehead I was... A bonehead, but not intentionally insensitive to you. Sorry. k | ||

Well it's official I asked him tonight I asked my psychiatrist who'll always be faithful if he thought I was doing okay for real or if I was nuts like him said. He sighed from deep down took a sip of his tea and said why don't you tell me? I said I'm not having sex with multiple partners with all disregard for the condom and I'm not bungee jumping off bridges and mountains or gambling my savings away. Nor am I claiming to be G-d or a savior and trying to rescue the world. What else, he asked, tell me something you're doing. I am sleeping at night sometimes waking each hour and sometimes just once or twice. I can't believe I'm doing okay. Me neither he said.  | ||
| las Citizen Username: Las Post Number: 988 Registered: 10-2003 |
Doula - sorry I missed your post. Your initial theory is likely correct in that there probably is some conspiracay plot (you know I'm usually the last to see things). You're not a bonehead. You're just covered in baby goo. | ||
| doulamomma Citizen Username: Doulamomma Post Number: 1058 Registered: 3-2002 |
That I am - but it feels pretty great! ...amazing when they are so slippery & new - a good day glad you were able to answer your own question affirmatively | ||

Earlier I went to see a man who helps me with money and helps me invest and plan for the future and figure out what to do next. And it would seem if I stayed where I am and saved as I do then some day I could plan to retire but should I proceed to get my degree I'd be out of cash within months. As I sat at a table with this man and his numbers and charts and projections and such I realized my dream just could not happen and I was getting so mad at my former beloved for running away and stealing my dream and taking my money and plans for the future. I kept blinking my tears back and put on my cap and started packing my things and this man, the advisor, said kindly to me I see you are getting upset. There are things we can do and plans we can change and money we can put somewhere else he advised but I just kept blinking back those tears as it would be so dumb to cry about money when the truth is I could remain a nothing in this world if I stay at my current job and earn enough to support myself and give up my dream that evolved for years to teach our foster children to read. Lynn, he said, I can tell this upsets you - Oh, really? How can you tell? I snapped. And I picked up my things and told him I'd call him I had to go do something else. And I was really quite impressed with myself for blinking back my tears and holding my body firmly enough to not tremor in front of this man. And I was also quite impressed with myself for giving no outward signs of the fact I'm distraught that I'll never again for as long as I live be this close to a Master's Degree and that as he spoke the realization came through: there's no use even finishing school. I went to the bathroom to rinse my hot face and looked in the mirror to see a betrayal of all the constraint and restraint and control of the ire and hurt inside me: a huge port wine blotch from my neck to my chest and that's when I had my melt down. A short while later I had lunch with a woman who just might be a new friend and for a while I'd forgotten my ache until I sat down just moments ago to do homework. You see I am taking six credits each one of them draining and taxing my brain all the time and I can't help but thinking and stressing about what a waste it is to keep going to school since there is just no way I can do what I want and I'll have to quit work to finish up school and then where on earth will I be? The one thing I've learned in the ten months since he left is that I can't make good decisions for squat. So I won't quit school at this very moment but I'm not doing homework today. | ||

Good decision not to make a decision. Sometimes things will/won't work on paper but reality is a different kettle of fish. If you have a passion that will make you happy, the rest will sort itself out. Most career counselors & financial planners will tell you the the most important thing is to find something that you are passionate about & then figure out a way to make money with it. Finish your education. There is no law that says you must use it in a conventional way, but you have to give yourself the option. Especially when you are not paying for it. Perhaps consider a new financial counselor; one who is more inclined to work with you on figuring out how to make your dream work, rather than considering it Alternate Plan B. |
