No garbage disposal and accidentally leaving some type of food particles in the sink. Argh!!!! Also extensive anxiety and panic attacks that won't allow me to sleep in peace. I've been up for almost 32 hours. Stupid visa application worries.  :\\\'(

Woke up at 5 feeling completely sick to my stomach. Ugh. Texted the head to say I was coming in late. She answered, asking if I was ok to come in at all, and I said 'oh, yeah I should be fine.' well, now i'd have to leave within the next half hour to get there when I said I would (and actually might still be late then, due to this dumb tube strike) and I still just feel awful. Thing is, I want to go to work. I like my job and It's far more interesting than being home by my lonesome. I have my favorite age group today... Missed monday last week to move as well. Kiddies are missing out on their music :(

Feel like I got run over by a truck- definitely coming down with something and feeling awful today. But, I started my new job officially today, so I couldn't call in.  So I will take some paracetemol and try not to suffer too much.  :-\\\\

Feel better soon PL and PB! 
My cold refuses to go as well.  It is settling down in my chest.  While I hate being sick, I really don't want to pass this on to the girls.

I hope you feel better! I've felt sick to my stomach since Thursday, and it's getting really old. :( Ginger ale is only so useful. I'm at work (I also didn't want to stay home, plus it's good to have the paycheck), but really wish I felt better.

Raining again. Forecast looks bleak. Earliest possibility for roofers will probably be Friday.

You know...I'm beginning to think that the only reason we are having this rain now is because you need to get your roof done.   :P  ;)

Yesterday I had to train a student worker. He seems very bright and perfectly nice but is deodorantly challenged.  ::) Actually, I feel kinda sorry for him, because he is European so hasn't grown up in the social clime here and no one will tell him I'm sure.

The owner of the company I do work for is completely brain dead and I wonder how she ties her shoes in the morning

I know people have way worse problems than me but feeling pretty miserable at the moment. :-(

Going on four months without being able to find a job, I would have a job if I could live *anywhere* but as DH's job is in London we need to be at a commuter distance. Interviewed last week for a job that had over 50 applicants...got my generic rejection this afternoon. Feeling like the longer it takes me to find a job the less likely anyone is to actually want me....a new grad with no real-world experience yet. Feel so hopeless. I can tell the crying is disturbing my cats but I can't seem to stop. I worked so hard for years...for nothing it seems.

To top it off, I spilled water on my Macbook Pro (my graduation present...the first ever non-hand-me-down electronic device I have ever had, and also the most expensive....I had my last laptop for five years without a crumb or a drop of water ever marring it URGH) and now it is COMPLETELY dead and even though it is only 4 months old the warranty is voided now. Can't take it into the apple store until Friday, though I am pretty sure they will say "needs a new logic board" which is apparently the entire inside...I now have a $1300 paperweight.

That laptop was the only thing keeping me sane in my long days of looking for jobs and DH's ridiculous commute.

Oh yeah, and I have a miserable cold. When are things going to get better?!?
