Fell asleep on the couch this evening. Partially woke up and was (sort of) watching a Biography episode about Fred Gwynne. Managed to fall asleep (again) what must have been about 10 minutes from the end, and woke up about 45 minutes later. Figures!

Was going to head straight for bed when I remembered I still needed to upload a bunch of files for work, so here I am online.

Being up, I'm having a chance to notice how much my joints ache, particularly my knees, hands, and elbows. Haven't felt this arthritic in years- wonder if this is one of those "hoooeee, hell of a storm a-coming" sorts of things? *wry grin*

May have to go back to the glucosamine.

Bleh, actually have to get up at a "commuting" hour in the morning, er, in a few hours.


Sheesh, blathering on just a bit, aren't I...

meta had this link to colorquiz.com, and I was curious. So...

Your Existing Situation
Having difficulty in standing up to the demands imposed on her. Finds a great effort is involved and wishes to have the situation eased.

Your Stress Sources
Wishes to be independent, unhampered, and free from any limitation or restriction, other than those which she imposes of herself or by her own choice and decision.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Willing to participate and to allow herself to become involved, but tries to fend off conflict and disturbance in order to reduce tension.

Wants to broaden her fields of activity and insists that her hopes and ideas are realistic. Distressed by the fear that she may be prevented from doing what she wants; needs both peaceful conditions and quiet reassurance to restore her confidence.

Your Desired Objective
Longs for a tender and sympathetic bond and for a situation of idealized harmony. Has an imperative need for tenderness and affection. Susceptible to anything esthetic.

Your Actual Problem
Seeks to avoid criticism and to prevent restriction of her freedom to act, and to decide for herself by the exercise of great personal charm in her dealings with others.


(I have "great personal charm"? Hot damn! The rest is a fairly accurate description of someone who's been unemployed for a while...)
