Re the divorce bill, JIm's lawyer charged him (in 1981) $15,000, twice what
he earned in a year before taxes. The jury cut that in half (he had already
paid half). I expect the lawyer will let you pay when you can pay as it is
much cheaper than trying to get you to pay when you cannot pay.
Scott's runny nose sounds more like a cold than the flu. I had a runny nose
for at least a week after a few days of flu-like symptoms but not fever.

My problems are only serious because they're mine. Reading through
Sindi's item about lymphoma helps me to put things in perspective a
bit. Last night I talked to a divorced woman with three kids who makes
$15,000 per year, who's ex keeps dragging her back to court for
expensive items she cannot afford, trying to impoverish her into giving
him custody of their kids. That's more of a problem than I've got.
This item is full of worse items than I've got.
I'll be calling my lawyer this morning to see what we can work out.

I'm sure you can work out something. It's in their best interest to
give you a payment plan you can live with.

Re 77: Yeah, I've decided it's a really nasty cold rather than the flu.
Although I did manage to get up to 99.8F last night... and this morning after
being awake most of the night I felt like death warmed over. Well, more like
death as a cinnamon bun, microwaved too long and then allowed to sit on the
counter until it's become too solid to eat. Yeah, that's what it felt
like. :P

They told me not to worry about fever unless it went over 101. If you have
the same cold I had it takes about 5 days to get to the runny nose stage
(after the stuffy head and sneezing stage) and another 5 days of runny nose
and mucus (gradually getting better). It helped a great deal to stay
overheated and rested. Viruses don't replicate well at high body
temperatures. Wear a hat and warm socks, stay under blankets if you can.
Jim was taking a lot of hot baths which helped him for a bit each time.

What does the pizza do for you? Stress control?

My palms and soles are now a bit numb, not just tingly fingertips. 2 more
months of this. Could be a lot worse.

Imminent breakup with the boy if things don't get better SOON. Last weekend
left me optimistic, but it's been a long, bumpy road.

Bad week for relationships, I see. Sarah: is distance a major factor in
the problem(s) y'all are having? Sorry to hear, bees.

I was thinking the same thing - it must be a bad week and you'll excuse me
while I stand on this side of the room.

IBB the Red Wings game I didn't watch last night turned out to be
really good. I should have just pretended that I am physically capable
of grading papers and watching hockey at the same time. ;)
IAB as a simple result of sleep deprivation and having spent such a
large amount of time grading this week.

I wonder if I have the same cold as Scott. I have been sick since
sunday. I cant sleep at night because the sneezing and coughing are
keeping me up. Well I can sleep a little bit until the NyQuil wears off.
I missed two days of work this week and made my co-workers listen to me
hacking the other three. bleh. I am really tired of being sick.

I have been fighting a severe headache that pain killers only take the edge
off (and only when taking much more than recommended), and gastric upset for
almost 2 weeks. I get the nausea that usually warns of low blood sugar, but
the very thought of eating makes me want to gag. I force myself to eat
(having low blood sugar means eating regularly even if you don't want to) half
the time I feel even more nauseated. Makes going to classes with intense note
taking requirements real fun.

My cold has gotten a nice chest cough, but overall it's much better. Finally
had a decent night's sleep last night.

(wondering out aloud for a moment: why do some say 'man' and
others 'boy' when referring to an SO?)
IBB because one of my recent job interviews sent a rejection... had
talked with my vocational coach about the importance about asking more
questions about the company, esp. to show interest.

Lynne - the distance makes it easier for him to work through his issues but
harder for me to work through mine. :-P We're trying to find middle ground.
