Quick summary

Since my last update there were two more health scares.

My friend (33!) got admitted for apparent heart problems. It turned out to be a pretty serious anxiety attack. Doctor's diagnosis: Stress. Stress? Spare me. I don't buy it. Give me a reason or say 'we don't know.'

My friend's father, the same friend whose mother has been in the hospital since September, went to the hospital with congestive heart failure. This bit of news made me cry. Get to work and the first email I read had this news in it.

My mother arrived yesterday for a month long visit. She's already rearranged part of my kitchen. Grrrr. But I have to admit it looks better.
We went to Ikea on a whim. We went to look for curtain rods. Found them at a somewhat decent price. The bonus: some cute curtains.
Note to self: this apartment is costing me.
Next on the list: Rugs. I've gotten wood floors out of my system.

I'd love to add blog entries from work, but I refrain from doing so. It's my own personal paranoia. If for whatever reason I should ever be fired, I don't want it to be over some stupid blog. And since I have gotten to the point that I don't turn on my home machine unless I need to do some online banking or something like that, the blog suffers. It's an excuse, I admit it. A valid excuse at that.

Other than this, coming to terms with the fact that 2005 is almost over. Life is seriously flying by and I fear I don't have a lot to show for it. Not just things, but crazy experiences. Yeah, I may be a little old for crazy experiences, but something. I remember the movie: About Schmidt. Makes me shudder.

People trying to convince me I should have a boyfriend, or better yet get married, is at a high right now. This pressure comes in cycles. One of my friends said she was not as 'strong' as me....meaning she could not be single. What the hell. I tried to tell her it was not about strength, nothing to do with strength. It's about having the faith that if I am meant to be married it will happen in its own time. Once the holidays are here, they should start leaving me alone until Valentine's Day rolls around. Yippe!

I'm not adventurous anymore. I am experiencing a bit of stress (too funny) planning my Europe vacation. Part of me says we should just go and see what happens. My responsible side is winning which has me looking into renting apartments, reviewing bed and breakfasts. Oh, and the constant remembering I need to get a passport. Yikes!
