I have clear skin (you can buy it - glcyolic and retin A) but now I want to get veins removed from my legs. Odd example, yes, but I've achieved enough to know that you meet your goal and you just want something else. Otherwise, what are you gonna do? Lay in bed all day?

Something that I have done that has been amazing for alleviating pressure is to write my goals out every single day. I write my life goals out, then my monthly goals and weekly goals and my daily schedule. Every weekday. It takes a half hour or forty-five minutes, but it's worth it. And it's recommended by most productivity gurus. The thing it does for me is focus on what's do-able instead of pie in the sky pressure-cooker dreams.

Penelope Trunk Warning. I'm about to do a very bad personal branding move. Do not try this at home.... I'm so sad today that I can't think straight. And I can't get any work done. But then I thought, well, maybe if I were chatting in my group then that would 1. distract me from being sad and 2. count as me working, since really, on some level, it is my job to be doing this group. I mean, even when we are talking about Lance's (questionable) dating tactics, it still counts as work for me. Is anyone there?

Besides a lot of guys Are real Turds...

They feel that women are like cattle or property

and think who cares I'll just get Another one

I feel that what Ruins a lot of relationships Is smothering

It's You & I, and You & I that's all

Familiarity Can/Does Breed contempt

The Best policy Is to Each have time with Your own friends

as well as with each other

Hmmm... sounds like a Plan :-)

I find if work is busy it distracts me (thank god), but then smthing happens &I lose my shit. Week after week, though, I stay longer, get more done, &enjoy it more. I am so thankful my workplace is flexible enough that if I leave at 2pm, no-one bats an eye.
That said: I am so sorry. Obviously this doesn't in any way make YOU a less smart, witty, fun, desireable, loveable person.
