Wonka - How sweet! Ankle and knee are back to normal, thanks to ibuprofen and ice. I think I'm good to go.

BA - Maybe tall woman was putting you to the test? crazy Some people out there are just bizarre. At least you have some meat on your bones!

I don't have much to report. Remember the fireman football gala? Well, my friend broke up with her guy (good call - he was totally not a good fit for her long term) and is now dating the guy she was trying to set me up with. LOL, I think deep down inside, my spidey sense knew something was not going to go anywhere here for me. Which is totally fine. I told her when I came over that I wasn't wanting to be fixed up at this time. And I meant it.

This has really been a frustrating week - at work and personally. How I feel has tentacles all over the place, so I'm forcing myself to sit on the discomfort sofa and mull everything over. My medication of choice is coffee. I've needed the extra caffeine and heat to keep me moving along, otherwise, I'd probably sit on the sofa here at work and cry. That's not going to change anything, so coffee it is. I'm also fantasizing about cinnamon rolls - gooey with icing.

I probably don't need to point out that it's fricking cold here. (Right now it's -8 and sunny.) My space heater is churning and it hasn't increased the room temperature above 68. Go figure. I might switch to hot tea shortly to keep my blood moving. The really crappy thing is this menopausal thing at night (night sweats). God, I totally hate this. I woke up sweating and wound up stripping down to my birthday suit for the 2nd night in a row. Let me tell you that it's a first - even for me - especially given how damn cold it is here. I feel like a total freak. Who sleeps naked when it's -16 outside? blush

Because I do like to focus on the positive, my meeting with my CPA went really well. He gave me a hug when I was leaving, told me that I look great and that he was proud of me. He pulled up the financials and itemized all the successes over last year and told me that I did a great job. Knowing how hard it is to garner praise my bean counter, that did give me a good feeling. Unfortunately, I have to continue to take a beating in the income category for another 1-2 years. I'm really sick of that. Being a business owner sure as heck isn't what it's cracked up to be.

Anyhoo, that's it from the tundra. Carry on, peeps.
