I am officially a parasite. Took a leave of absence from school.

[crim son]

The STBE is mind-bogglingly understanding thank god.

1. welcome to my side of life

:shrug:


BTW :hug: have you thought of taking only one class at at time?

[crim son]

3. That is what I've been doing.

My car transmission seized and I can't afford to fix it, nor can I afford to take a taxi out to the school every day, which I would have to do because of the nature of the course. It's like my whole world is grinding to a halt and I can do nothing to get it moving. This is the first time in my life that I've been completely, totally, utterly useless. Joani, if this is your side of life, you gotta get out! :hug:

[In_The_Wind]

10. Have you tried posting a note in the student union?

Transmissions are expensive!

Is there any way you can ride to school with someone or take a bus?

[BarenakedLady]

2. You ok?

What's up? Or down as the case may be....:(

[crim son]

4. I don't know exactly.

A relapse. I need time to... I don't know. You know? :(

[BarenakedLady]

9. Unfortunately yes.

I do. :(

[crim son]

17. I'm a fine example, aren't I?

All talk and no action. I'm sorry about that, BNL.

[BarenakedLady]

20. I think we are in sync

Today we are both in the pit. What should we do to make ourselves feel better?

[crim son]

22. The shower didn't work.

Let me think about it. Maybe go back to bed?

[BarenakedLady]

23. I would but

The speech teacher(s) are here with the little one...maybe after they leave.

Is it too early to start drinking?

[crim son]

26. I think that will make it worse. STBE took me grocery shopping

and now I will fall asleep.

[BarenakedLady]

27. Right now...

It can't get any worse. Have a good sleep. I wish I could sleep, but then I'll never want to get up.

5. .

:hug:

[crim son]

6. Ah.

I appreciate the hug. I think I'll run away and have a shower, wash this man right out of my hair, Calgon take me away etc. etc. Hi billyskank :hi: Sorry to hear about your poooooooooo situation.

[billyskank]

8. I will be fine, sweetie

Thank you. I am more bothered about you. :hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. I hope it works out for you.

:hug:

[crim son]

13. Me too, because the alternative is - what?

:scared: I think I need a break, that's all.

[Hugin]

11. Yay!

A fellow parasite! (Although, we lifer's prefer to call ourselves... Symbionts)

Pull up a chair! Kick off your shoes! Put your feet on the coffee table! Enjoy!

We here at the DU Lunchroom Dork Table celebrate new faces! :thumbsup:

:grouphug:












Seriously, tho... Keep in mind, this like all things shall pass.

:hug: :*

[crim son]

14. You gave me a good laugh, Prag.

I've spent many years helping others so perhaps I should not feel too terribly guilty about now relying on others. It will pass. True. :pals:

[Hugin]

19. No person is an island...

it's really true crim son.

Only additional thing I might add is to find trustworthy others to rely on.

:D

[crim son]

21. The only person I trust is the husband I'm leaving.

It makes it awkward.

[Hugin]

24. Hmm...

It would seem you need to expand your social envelope.

I have full confidence in your abilities. It'll take some time, but, you'll
do it.

:)

[Brewman_Jax]

12. Take a break

sounds like you can use one. :hi:

:hug:

[crim son]

15. It does seem so.

There's this brick wall in front of me, anyway. Cain't go nowhere!

[ThomCat]

16. I hope you're doing okay.

:hug:

I hope hte leave of absence helps.

[crim son]

18. I hope the same thing.

I've never been particularly good at juggling more than a few pins at a time. The family, the separation/divorce, the sale of the house, the money problems, the broken heart and school... apparently I have overloaded myself and I must back away from some of it. Thank you, Thom.

[Redbear]

25. Simplifying is often a good idea when things are out of control.

I've been there too (the pit). It's no fun, but it does get better.

[SPKrazy]

28. Pfffftttt!

nonsense

parasite, BS

:hug:
