Let's just pretend the whole of last week didn't happen, shall we? I think I spent the whole week struggling with pain, trying to control pain and trying to ignore pain. I admitted defeat and went to my doctor; now I am scheduled for tests. I hate tests almost as much as I hate the pain.

There hasn't been much room left over for doing anything. I read something today by Martha Beck that I could relate to:

,,, Eventually my ability to process all the demands on my attention disintegrates, and I spend entire days doing what cartoonist Scott Adams calls "multi-shirking", just sitting around feeling guilty about all the connections I'm not sustaining.

Do you ever feel like that?

I'm so sorry to hear this, and I hope that the doctor and the tests (I don't like them either) end up helping.

And yes to "multi-shirking". I feel like that a lot of the time.

*big hugs, but gentle ones*

*careful, worried hugs*

Aw, thanks for the gentle hugs. I wish the whole world was gentle - I feel fragile. But so far so good - at least I'm reading the LJs again today!

Thanks for the hugs & the worry. I expect I'll end up okay; but a person gets impatient. I want to feel better immediately. Like, NOW.

Ahem. Sorry; didn't mean to scream too loud.

I can relate, hon.

*orders many pretty, wonderful characters to hold you gently and bring you happy, orgasmic feelings*

And yeah, I'll hug you too. :)

Sorry you don't feel well. I hope the tests help fix things. I'm sending positive thoughts your way.

I think I'm a professional multi-shirker!

Thank you for the positive thoughts. Much appreciated.

Maybe we should form a mysterious League of Accomplished Multi-Shirkers.

Aw, thanks for all of that! Luckily there are many pretty and wonderful caracters around to make a person feel good. *hug* back at you.

Do you ever feel like that?

Is there anyone who doesn't, from time to time?

*big soft teddy-bear hugs*

Thank you! (big smile) We missed you on the trip to see Xavier - he's really cute! How's the moving going?

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I now - hugs to us both and wishes for endless good health. I like your icon.

[sparklebutch.livejournal.com]

I changed my anger icon for a denial icon. I find it healthier, although I did lose some heat.

[kathyh]

Definitely a good idea. I've been multi-shirking like mad today *g*.

[lmondegreen.livejournal.com]

I miss you, too! It's been far too long since we've done anything.

The moving is ... coming along. I'm spending almost all my waking hours getting the new place prepped - I'm starting to loathe painting - but things are coming together. I hope :-)
