Mood-less.  Yes, I have no mood.  Or no oompf.  Neither happy, nor sad.  Not blue, not cheerful.  Not stressed, nor sleepy.

do you think this was some kind of buddhist state of balance?  Hope so...
Oooh, maybe you're right.  I was just feeling so calm that I'd transcended to a higher plane of purity (I'm not sure that makes sense, but my dinner is burning and I must save it!) ... I can live with that!

I am ANGRY. 

*big angry face*

Last night six of us went for an Indian to celebrate Blokey's birthday (Wednesday).  When it came to pay the bill my MiL grabbed her bag to her chest and avoided looking at anyone.  Back in May she paid for us all when we went out for my BiLs birthday meal; in fact, she ALWAYS pays for birthday meals (except mine). 

I thought that going for a walk this afternoon would make me realise that it doesn't matter (Blokey says it doesn't), but it actually made me even angrier.  It's not so much that she didn't even contribute, it's the way she hugged her bag tightly, as though we were all going to pounce on it and steal her money (she has OODLES of money, which isn't the point, but might put it into perspective.)

I just don't think I'm going to forgive her for this ... sometimes she seems to go too far.

(thanks for listening ...!)

Mood ~ GREAT!!

but I have my  "dreaded" monthly Neph appointment Monday. I told my hubby that it always blows my mind that I worry everyday about what my numbers (labs) will show? Even though, I still feel pretty good most days...tired but none of the "signs" they say I will "know" when it is time for D. Seems like I am always "looking" for the "signs" they say I will know.....

over all though....I am always on a good mood :)

I'm happy, for a few reasons.. 1, I didn't get hit in the face by any bouncy balls.  2, my best friend and I had one of those long conversations that friends have about pretty much nothing. *L*  we haven't done that in a while cuz she's always so busy.  She told me that she was working on a recording of A Visit from St. Nick, which is the original (official?) title of the poem, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.  I'm not sure what she's doing exactly, if it's just a voice recording, or if she's doing it in the style of a radio play.  She is a master of digital recording.  She made me a recording of beach sounds, made by mixing digital tones.  It's a half hour long.  I can turn it on and close my eyes, and along with hearing the waves crashing on the shore and the birds overhead, I can smell the salt air and feel the sun shining on me.

Miserable - bot only because I have a cold.

Hey, jbrock, I remember dreading the monthly blood test results waiting for 'the number' - I didn't think I was sick enough for D but here I am on it anyway - and feeling better. Now the blood tests aren't such a anxious time, although I still check them avidly for ups and downs. Funny how things change, ah?

Great to hear you and your friend had some time chatting, Riki  :thumbup;

Really happy. I have the pleasant aroma of chicken wafting through the house, we're going to the cinema to see Due Date later tonight, and tomorrow is Wednesday (I don't work on Wednesday's!) ... Oh, and a good friend just contacted me after oodles of time without speaking, so that made my day.

Oh oh oh...I do this, too!!!  I know EXACTLY what you mean.  I've been doing this neph appt thing for 6 years now, and it does NOT get any easier.  On the "Predialysis forum", there is a thread called "Appointments with the Neph" where we predialysis people gather to stress out/destress about our upcoming appointments.  My next appt is 9 Dec.  Like you, I keep telling myself that the numbers don't matter at this stage, that I'll know it's time when the time comes.

Anxious.  My dad and little brother keep shrugging off cleaning out the basement so we can have a new (to us) furnace put in.  Mom's been bugging them about it since the spring, before the furnace bit the biscuit, but they've only barely begun to start it now.  They were supposed to come today to start on it. Mom even rented a dumpster for them to put it all in.  Bro didn't show at all, cuz he needed to fix the brakes on his truck, and Dad showed just as the sun was going down.  Not like he was gonna do much then, not to mention, the first thing he did when he got here was turn the computer on.
