Me? Do illegal downloads? I would never do that… I don’t know what Janine is talking about. In fact, I’ve never seen this woman in my life officer! (Though she is a loose lipped goddess…

ps: Anything good on tv is so rare as to be a mathematically improbable…

My initial advice would be to just get drunk and forget about it. This however would be another form of avoidance and therefore would be counterproductive! So, do what worked for you in the past, Also, try to take some pressure off of yourself by enjoying the “now” rather then just focusing on the future when you will be done!!! I read that in a fortune cookie!!!!!

Hi Janine,

I had completely forgotten that you were taking Keith’s 3 day class. I think your piece came out great! I still have not completely unpacked from ArtFest. I caught some of that funk on my way home and was sick as a dog (a sick dog) for a week or so. I sure hope you are feeling better soon.

Thanks for the special charm you gave me. I am going to practice some of the drilling techniques Nina taught us but with a metal bit to use it in a piece of my own jewelry.

Good luck on your thesis. I know you will be glad when it’s all behind you. Will you be ArtFesting again next year? I hope so.

It’s gonna be okay.

This suggestion is sort of a “little bit at a time” thing, but it seems to help me calm down at times like what you’re experiencing. I sit down at a specific time and say, “just one sentence. That’s all I’m going to write.” And if another one hops on the bus, great. If not, okay, it’ll just join our regularly scheduled program(me) later.

Then after hyperventilating, I write the one sentence — and it doesn’t have to be a good one, just one with a subject-verb-object. Often the second one insists that it won’t be left behind, so I put that one down too. Sometimes I get a whole paragraph.

Maybe that’ll help?

I’ll come back to borrow this some time, but not this week! Thanks for your comment, and your promise to remember me in Haifa. That’s a lovely thought!

Loved the response to Alley - and the British sweater-vest response, but what I *really* loved was that we matched on Olive Oyl!
I’m so sorry about Molly. How very worrying for you. Please keep us all posted.

Diagon alley! Great association! I guess that goes with the sweater vest - very practical, very British!

I enjoyed all your ‘mutterings’ today … but your response to ‘alley’ is my FAVORITE! Mine are posted at Small Reflections this morning.

I remember writing MY ‘thesis’ and am glad it’s a task long in my past … good luck with yours ;–
Hugs and blessings,
