:shakehead: I'm really sorry to hear that. Best wishes to you....
It's set then! 9 tomorrow! :)...
Usually later in the evenings!...
Sounds good!...
Okay. We will make this work. How about tomorrow? I'm in the Eastern Time Zone....
Marilyn; Thank you! I am indeed diabetic, and my doctor has told me in the past to eat a snack before I go to bed... but I never do. It's typically because I am a creature of habit and brush my teeth...
Sorry, I jumped the gun a little. I got in the chat room and everything! Please let me know what time is good for you! :)...
Celebrating with my family is the #1 thing for me for Christmas. I'm thankful for this website and everyone in it, including the kind mods! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!...
Hey, are you on right now?...
Hello! Tim Tam, I finally figured out where to go for chat. I'll pay attention to my email this time to see when you're on to see if we can chat live. I am constantly applying for jobs, and thank the...
The responses to this thread have been incredible! I hope I don't sound like a broken record, but thank you all! I mean it!!! You know, I used to write in a journal every other night a few years ago....
Aha, thank you guys. I appreciate the well wishes and the advice! Heading to my fourth week unemployed now, I've been applying a ton but no real bites, sadly. I still have this phenomena that I...
I'm listening to that right now. It's a very nice song, very gentle. It's sad but beautiful too. Thank you again, Tim Tam! Social norms be... darned... and here's a big hug I'm sending through this...
Oh gosh, you guys! I can say with no trace of doubt that I’m touched, so touched. I feel like reaching through this digital world we’re communicating through and giving you all a gentle squeeze of...
Thankfully, the apartment I live in is quite new, and I can only hope I'm going to be okay when it comes to that area of concern. I need whatever it takes to help drown out the upstairs neighbors....
I've gone MIA again, I'm sorry. Sometimes I get notifications that I've gotten a response, sometimes I don't (I need to pay more attention to checking for that when I respond). I looked into moist...
Well, if a doctor/pharmacist thinks a sleep supplement would help me stay asleep, I have to say I'd be sorely tempted. I can still get to sleep fine, but it's tiring waking up just SO much! The...
Thank you so much! Haha, you aren't "supposed" to be doing anything! But you have. I appreciate the time you gave me. You are under no obligation to help! Seriously, it's touching. Right now I have...
Thank you so much, Tim Tam! Your words are empowering and kind. My boss just said he understands how big the workload is. At this point I plan on just keeping my head down and continuing to work. One...
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't make sense. I wrote out a notice but I didn't officially hand it in. I knew it was a decision made out of anger and frustration. It's something I think about every day now....
I hope all went well with the burial. Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking and I'm so sorry you had that happen. Because she was 14, it sounds like she had a good, long life! Thank you for giving...
Whoa, are you serious about that? I'm really sorry to hear that, and I hope things are better for you. I had a meeting with my boss and a co-worker today and it did not go well. I wrote a two-weeks...
I forgot to mention: my communication skills are horrid, absolutely laughable. I never speak up and am shy and when I speak to people in public I usually make a fool of myself (example: yesterday I...
Tim Tam, sorry about that, I didn't see that I got a response. When we lost that employee, I literally picked up 90% of her duties! I am SO grateful right now because there's a part-timer who has...
Last Thursday night (I don't work Fridays) I stayed up late and went to bed so tired that I didn't even read. I ended up having the best night's sleep I've had in a month. I take stuff to make sure...
Thank you; I do indeed use a sound machine every night. I use a fan too, a loud one to attempt to block out the sound of loud neighbors. I've read to stop using a phone/tablet/whatever before you go...
Because I do take a variety of pills, I'll be sure to ask my doctor first. I'm curious what she'll recommend. I asked her about a year ago about melatonin (which she admitted she takes every night)...
Empire Records was a nice example, I see why you used it! That should make people think. Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side. The apartment is expensive too, which just makes...
I've never seen Empire Records, sadly. And that was a good example of an athlete too, as I know there are some athletes who are known to kind of buckle under the pressure. Kittay, that's good advice,...
Dreams really can be a good escape. I wish I had better dreams, I'm sick of these annoyingly realistic ones, haha! Me time... that can be very good! I was trying to ask myself how I handle stress,...
I'm so sorry that you feel so alone. That's a horrible feeling. I can't believe a doctor told you there was nothing he could do, what kind of doctor says that? What about your general practitioner? I...
The co-worker is indeed an equal. I get the feeling from her that she thinks I'm lazy, which I am NOT in any way at work. One of my best dreams ever was when I was young, and I flew. That was...
I actually really like dream interpretations! And that one makes sense, thank you for sharing that. Let's just say I don't exactly have good self-confidence. I read that (doing too much, ease up) and...
When I was in the hospital, I had an IV given to me with loads of antibiotics. I got a yeast infection afterwards and asked my doctor to help. She took a look and gave me some random cream that I...
We went from periods of rain with nice, green grass to the aforementioned brown grass! Not much of a nice medium. This week is cooler, which I'm happy about! Not looking forward to snow, just those...
It's very draining. I take a bus service to work and dream about scheduling rides/being late for rides. Last week I literally dreamed I was doing work reports on the bus. Last night I was doing...
Thank you! Luckily, I have not been experiencing headaches. That was a good suggestion, though. I will definitely talk to my doctor about this. I have no clue what she might have in mind for me, but...
Thank you! I admit I've been taking zzzquil for over a year and take melatonin here and there for a few months. I hope to see my doctor soon. I don't see a therapist, but I'm curious if that's what...
I'll try to make this short. I wake up ten-twenty times every night. I can get to sleep just fine, however. I have been tested for sleep apnea (negative). I literally wake up, turn over, and try to...
How are you now? Are you sure it's the medicine that's causing the numbness? Is your diabetes under control? All the best to you!...
This is a big debate! I get mad at professional NFL players who get caught time and time again smoking that stuff. They act all sad and regretful but when it comes down to it, they're making millions...
Hi! I'm not entirely sure what to call those little things, but they do remind me of scabs: little spots of bloody skin. I dry my finger completely after I poke so I don't understand why I get them....
Wow! The future is now, apparently. Or at least (hopefully) soon! That's crazy that soon, hopefully we'll all be able to get our readings from our ears (!) or even our breath! You're right, though,...
Good luck to you. Doctors... I hear you about doctors. I hope your new meter is able to tell you a story about how you feel, hopefully offer up an explanation to the way you feel....
Who knows? They have those thermometers that you can put up to your head that measures temperature and you don't have to insert it in your mouth. Maybe in the future there will be some technically...
I forgot about the part where it's good to hold your hand down too. That was an interesting little blurb about where to test. It's cool though that someone else was curious too! One thing I admit I...
I didn't know that readings could be more accurate from different parts of your body! Wow. That's crazy! I tend to have to "milk" the finger to get more blood, especially from the sides of my...
I will need to summon up some courage before poking myself there. Does the poke area get tender afterwards, say when you use a computer? Thank you for answering all of my questions, by the way....
Whoooaaaa... I never would have thought to poke there! Do you find it's pretty painful or is it okay? Thanks for the idea, I'm thinking about trying there just to mix it up. Oddly enough, my thumbs...
Hello all, I've been testing my levels for over a year now. I got some good advice to test on the sides of my fingers. I've been doing that, rotating my fingers. My question is, for those veterans,...
