I kept trying to focus on the positive, but the fever kept bringing the negative to the top. <BR/><BR/>Writing helps me when I feel like crap. Writing (and this blog) helps me process my feelings - mostly by allowing me to express them - and it helps me figure out why I'm feeling the way I'm feeling. Then, if it's a bad feeling, I try to turn that around.<BR/><BR/>Fiance is a funny word and I remember having a similar adjustment to it. Maybe you could coin your own term for the situation?? That would be fun, huh? Congratulations again! I am so happy for you!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345066981389467770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-78517684417601082.post-59328004567881708972008-08-12T18:56:00.000-07:002008-08-12T18:56:00.000-07:00Very good news about the counts.

At least when something goes wrong, something else more important goes right. <BR/><BR/>And I'm amazed that you can write when you're running a fever and feel like crap. When I feel sick, someone might as well put me in a sack and stick me up out of the way on a closet shelf. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the note of congratulations, too. I'm still having a hard time getting the word "fiance" to come out of my mouth ("fia.... fff.... ffff.... fi.... fian.... SAY...."), but it's just the whole theory and personal significance and cultural baggage behind it, not the guy, bless his little candy heart.MisAnthropologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458489308716079955noreply@blogger.com
