One reason I am so grateful for Mr.Q - not only does he put up with it, he helps me stay grounded. I need a lot of solitude, and when I don't get it, I'm easily put off kilter. Usually he sees it before I do and "sends me to my room" to knit and breathe and find my balance. Happily for both of us, I'm learning to recognize when I need some alone time before I get crabby at him.<br /><br />How did the MRI go?

That's getting better, not so much because I've learned not to do that as because I've learned that since I can't do that, I need to surround myself with people (and an employer) who don't make outrageous demands.Tiffanyhttp://tiffanytalks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160307532016712030.post-91761659062427990162010-04-30T12:44:11.498-04:002010-04-30T12:44:11.498-04:00I do the joking/self-depracating (sp?) thing too. ...I do the joking/self-depracating (sp?) thing too.
