Just feeling REALLY STRESSED
I feel so STUPID that out of all the research I 've done and all the pounding and fighting with the insurance company and all of the travel coordinating between here, Paris, Munich, Stroebing, that a very important question never entered my mind,,,how long AFTER the surgery will I be down? This sounds like PRISON to me!!!!!
"What will you be having for dinner, Mademoiselle?
"Oh, I'm on that new Stress Diet...have you heard of it?
"Why NO,,,,,?"
"Well, just bring me anything on the menu,,,then, throw it on the floor, yell at me like it's my fault until I cry, and then I'll have the double chocolate mousse, please. In fact, make it a double. Yes, that's right...A double-double. It's called slow suicide. Learn to recognize the symptoms in your friends."
Only I can't really have it, because I try to stay away from this kind of stuff...
I should probably go, I feel my nightly crying jag coming on...Lord, I'm SUCH A BABY!
