Re: Welcome MeganK!!!

Megan, a B average is wonderful for somebody who is weaning off these drugs, especially on-line. You get a star and go to to the top of the class.

Thanks, Eileen. I needed that. I'm a perfectionist, so all of this is a bit hard on me.

I am feeling better today though. I woke at 6:30am, but fell asleep during a movie around 10 and slept for a good 2 1/2 hrs. Now I feel energized.

I'm glad you are feeling better Megan. Try not to be too much of a perfectionist while your weaning. I find we are much too hard on ourselves.

Re: Welcome MeganK!!!

Tell me about it. I have type A personality. I like things neat and organized. It's OK if it gets messy for a bit, but I can't take it too long. And right now I am going NUTS.

About 2 months or so ago, we got the kids a hamster. Now the kids are only here part-time, but His Royal Stinkiness (the hamster) is always here! He is one of the messiest animals I have ever seen! He is constantly throwing stuff out of his cage, he loves to hide all his food in his tunnels. The floor around his cage is covered w/food, feces, bedding, etc! I clean it regularly, but sometimes when I walk in the room....whoooo does it stink. (hence why he is currently being referred to as his royal stinkyiness. My boyfriend isn't much help when it comes to cleaning much of anything unless I beg. So its me doing all the cleaning. And I can kind of understand, his ex never cleaned so he did all of it, but a little help would be nice!

OK, I will get off my soapbox!
