You certainly aren't!

2. Yes, all 3 meetings were quite positive, and because I took Mrs R's car, I was actually
able to walk into the house when I got home.

Thanks for the good words, as usual.

3. Time to kick back and relax
I'd need a long hot bath after driving that far. :hug:

5. That's why I'm in the Lounge to relax for a little while. Then upstairs to the hydrotherapy tub.
(Yes, it's a real one, not a party Jacuzzi.) The hot water and electricity for the jets are expensive, but it will make the difference between me being able to work tomorrow or not.

Yes, even sitting in a Volvo seat, it's a lot for one day.

8. Thanks you too much. It's good for me to know that I can still get it done if
it needs to get done. Though it helps a LOT that I can use Mrs R's car, with the all-wheel-drive and the automatic transmission and the heated seats.

7. A lesson for me.
I had three meetings today and was feeling rather bitchy about it. But they were within three blocks of each other--and one was in my office!!

Thanks for a little perspective.

Hope tomorrow is better for you.

Oh, and no, you're not dead. Dead people lose their DU privileges.

9. Hey, I'm not complaining. I do have days when I don't work very hard as well. It's just nice
for me to know that I can still get the long days done if I need to, given my physical problems.

Tired and sore, those I am in spades, but the sense of accomplishment feels good.

14. Oh, yes, I went to Houston once those many years ago and stayed for that reason.
It didn't work out in the long run, but NOTHING you do for love is not worth doing.

Doesn't matter how it works out; if you did it for love, that's enough reason.
