Checking out a nice perfume today...I'm searching for the scent of Florida to wear.

What a great week.... I passed my Practical driving test today and I finally have a desk and office at my job (after being there for almost 1 month!)

Well done, Smootie!  It's such a relief, isn't it?

My UP is having another good experience with a GP in our practice.  Going to her to discuss a fairly difficult, emotional experience.  She just started off with "well, first off, how are you doing in yourself?"  It felt very kind, and I actually just stated the facts and was able to move on through the appointment with no tears. (Not that that's some kind of feat, but I loathe crying in front of people I don't know).

For me, it would probably have been a feat!  I don't like to cry in front of other people either, and it's appalling (to me) when it does happen.  Steve is used to my waterworks by now though -- always says it's only a passing rainstorm.  (And if he were honest, probably preferable to angry thunderstorms.  hee hee)
