A depressing day made more so with depressing news. I was told that "P" has no job, can't pay his rent, and is using crack. I want to rush right over there and tell him to come home......but I won't. Been there. Done that. I have talked to a few of his siblings about an intervention and they are going to work out the details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a little snow overnight, just enough to blow around. After such a beautiful extended fall this harsh, cold weather is hard to accept.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My cousin and her boyfriend have their final walk through for their new townhouse next week and closing is set for December 1st. I will be glad when they move out, not that they are any problem, just that they make themselves at home so well that at times I feel like a guest here. I find myself spending more and more time alone in my bedroom to give them privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was just thinking about Christmas decorating. The year went by so quickly! It seems like I just packed away all the boxes and now it's time to start pulling them out again. I also feel that pre-Christmas depression standing silent in the distance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been thinking of going to therapy. I feel a need for some fresh perspective. I want to be happy. I have every reason in the world to be happy......but for some reason I won't let go of all this ....crap...and just let myself free. There is a guilt trap door that slams shut and keeps me locked inside. I can't be happy when "P" is on crack, or my partner is having marital problems or ...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can think of a thousand excuses, including I hate AOL.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19006708-113217955245427356?l=kickingthedog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kickingthedog.blogspot.com/feeds/113217955245427356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19006708&amp;postID=113217955245427356' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19006708/posts/default/113217955245427356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19006708/posts/default/113217955245427356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kickingthedog.blogspot.com/2005/11/wednesday.html' title='Wednesday'/><author><name>Candace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07236232610925649588</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/dragonprey/CRS5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19006708.post-113214992361690791</id><published>2005-11-16T05:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-11-16T06:05:23.616-08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Room</title><content type='html'>It's a snowy, blustery day in the Twin Cities. A good day to stay inside and work on my new blog, figure out what the tabs up there are for, etc,  but I have to go to the office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just felt like I had to put something in writing. My new place seems so...unfurnished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't think AOL cares enough about us to stop using the banners.  Their profit margin has always been more important then their so called customer service. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure that we'll eventually get used to the new neighborhood ...but....but....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;damn Clinton!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(he is responsible for everything bad that happens right?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19006708-113214992361690791?l=kickingthedog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kickingthedog.blogspot.com/feeds/113214992361690791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19006708&amp;postID=113214992361690791' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19006708/posts/default/113214992361690791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19006708/posts/default/113214992361690791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kickingthedog.blogspot.com/2005/11/new-room.html' title='New Room'/><author><name>Candace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07236232610925649588</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/dragonprey/CRS5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19006708.post-113209474621323719</id><published>2005-11-15T14:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-11-15T14:45:46.223-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Moving Day</title><content type='html'>Well that was an unexpected move!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully I will figure out how the heck to use this site.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have changed my address as well as my neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's now &lt;a href="mailto:Candace636@hotmail.com"&gt;Candace636@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19006708-113209474621323719?l=kickingthedog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kickingthedog.blogspot.com/feeds/113209474621323719/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19006708&amp;postID=113209474621323719' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19006708/posts/default/113209474621323719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19006708/posts/default/113209474621323719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kickingthedog.blogspot.com/2005/11/moving-day.html' title='Moving Day'/><author><name>Candace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07236232610925649588</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v324/dragonprey/CRS5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry></feed>
