Friends ... and Phone Issues

Just wanted to let my incredible Upstate girls know how much I loved seeing you last night! I had decided to just stay at home last night, since my head was in such a craptastic place. At the last minute, I decided to get my butt to Dr. Bour's meeting ... still thinking I'd skip the social time afterwards. (Craptastic, I tell ya.) But there's something about your companionship ... and your smiling, skinny faces ... it's like medicine to me. Very GOOD drugs. Thanks, y'all. You make me feel like there's hope for me, after all. (And I came home to the news that my daughter's therapist has convinced her to try some medication for the severe depression that's been so crippling to her for the last several months. She's been trying to tough it out after years of psychiatric drugs for her OCD and panic disorder ... she was wanting so badly to be OFF medication. But thank GOD ... she's agreed to see if something different will help now. Please send positive thoughts her way ... she is my heart.) On to the phone issues ... I've been trying to call the 800 number for the Landmark to book another room ... and I'm getting a recording that my call can't be completed as dialed. Did everyone else book using the phone, or did you use the Internet? I'll keep trying, I guess ... since I want to make sure our rooms are together. I'll let you know when I'm succesful. ~ Dawn

I booked online. Maybe if we check in at the same time we can ask for adjoining rooms? Kathy

Let's do try to check in at the same time. I'll be jealous if somebody gets there before I do! How's your day so far? ~ Dawn

Still in a funky mood. But some online Trampy clothes window shopping always gets me in a better mood. (see my post above) I think my brain is a tangled mess. I need to go home and write some goals down and get them done. Then maybe i will feel better...that and a LOT of sunshine!!! How are you? Still "craptastic?" By the way I LOVE that word and will be adopting it as my own. But I think you are right, when we are feeling like we don't wanna go anywhere because we are too moody, THAT is when we need to attend support group FOR SURE. I love you guys. We have gotten so slose soooo fast! I got a whole new group of sisters...but better. Kathy

But did you know that yesterday was "Blue Monday"??? There is a reason for the "craptasticness"!!!! http://www.thebestof.co.uk/taunton/news/28515 Ok....so today is Tuesday....let's break out of this funk!!! Hugs, Dianne

I had no idea there was such a thing! But it certainly fit for the Monday we had around here. UGH. (((( hugs )))) Dawn

Retail Therapy (whether online or on foot) is a miracle cure for the whole craptastic head thing. And yeah ... I'm craving warm sunshine in a bad way. I need to start walking outside every day that the sun is out. The way I'm feeling lately, I need support group every few HOURS, not just once a week! Hope your Hump Day goes fast ... and thanks for the comments on my profile and picture. Hee hee. Dawn

Dawn! IM so glad you came I love seeing your smiling face.. you hide your craptastic days so well! ;) I would of never known.. but i am SOOOO excited you marcey and melissa are going to the beach too!!! We will have so much fun with everyone. onto your daughter, I had the same issues for years upon years of panic attacks and depression and dr. russell finally got me on some right medicine, he said i needed xanax but that kolonzapam would work okay as well.. And it has! Most days now i can do without it.. but if im going to a social setting where i might get nervous or feel panic i take it. I hope your daughter gets it straight, i know the hell it can put in your life ! And now the phone issues.. this is the number i just got off the website, have you tried it? 800-845-0658.. they left out the 1 in the front, you have to dial with the 1 for it to dial right. I just called and it went through. and I wanna say CONGRATS Again on being in ONDERLAND!!!!! Since you dont like to tell everyone, I did for you! LOL Ill brag on you . .love you ! Jen

Hi I was dialing that "1" every time ... so when you said you had just tried and had gotten through, I tried once more. Still with the recording. Hmmm. I got my cell phone, and dialed ... it worked! Apparently my home phone line is screwy. I guess my next call will be to BellSouth to find out why I can't call toll-free numbers today! So I booked a room! I asked the girl if she could make sure the room was next-door to the one Kathy booked ... she made a note of it, but said that would be done at check-in, IF rooms were available. Oh well, we'll all be a lot closer to each other than we usually are every day! Thanks for the sweetness. Love you much, Beautiful Jen! ~ Dawn Hurry up March!!!

I hate that I missed the meeting but we had some problems last night. By the time I stoped crying I couldnot find my keys and the list gose on and on. I hope everyone had a good time and I hope to make it next week Cari
