Nobody wants to admit it's MONDAY

I live in Philly.

Cool!!! I haven't reallly gone over the agenda in great detail enough to know when I get out each day but maybe if we have time I could meet you for coffee! If not, can you recommend a good place to get an authentic Philly Cheesesteak? I'll be staying at the Hyatt to give you an idea of location. Is there anything good to do within walking distance?

I am sick. I am leaving at 2:30 today. When I told my co-worker that I was leaving, she was like I'm sick too, but you don't see me crying over it. Well excuse me. I don't like to cry, and I especially don't like being sick, so when I start to cry, you know that I am sick. I hate being sick! I hate feeling like I can't do anything. I hate having to use my PTO when I am sick, instead of when I am healthy and able to go on a vacation! So I called my husband and told him that I am going home early because I am sick and he started to make fun of me too. He was like "oh your sick? No migraine right?" Everytime I don't feel well he automatically says something about my migraines! I can't help that I have migraines! I wish I could get to the bottom of these damn migraines! I hate being sick and I hate having migraines! I wish for one day he could get one of my migraines and then he would know why the heck I can't work with a migraine and Why I take medicine to get rid of it!

Oh there I go again. Anyway I think I am going to get out of here. Have a good day everyone.

Maybe it would be a good idea to discuss with your doctor why you are sick so often.

I was recently thinking the same thing.

Cool!!! I haven't reallly gone over the agenda in great detail enough to know when I get out each day but maybe if we have time I could meet you for coffee! If not, can you recommend a good place to get an authentic Philly Cheesesteak? I'll be staying at the Hyatt to give you an idea of location. Is there anything good to do within walking distance?

The Hyatt on Front? Next to the river? Penns Landing? There's loads to do around there. That's old city. THat's where you will find most of the historic stuff. Penns Landing, liberty bell, betsy ross house, ben franklins house, Independence hall, Independence visitor center where you can get maps of all the historic places, the new constitution building... can't really think of any others right now. Wednesday nights, there is a place I like to go Salsa Dancing called Brazils. It starts at 9 and is $5. There's a lesson from 9-10 and free dancing after the lesson. Also lots of good places to eat. There's two moroccan restraunts down there and one middle eastern. Those are actually on South Street. I recommend "Imperial Few" That's at 2nd and South. Then there's another place that I can't remember the name but that's at 4th and South. the other is marrakech and that's somewhere between 4th and 6th and south. Never been to that one. South street is a hoping area with a lot of neat stores. Anyway, I am working Wednesday until 10, Thursday until about 7, and Friday until 6:30-7:00, so I am always up for coffee after work.

It's called Park Hyatt Philadelphia at the Bellevue

Oh and I agree...you should at least have an mri to see if there's anything funny going on in your head. I had one done for my migraines and it at least gave me peace of mind.

I been going to the doctor's and telling the the same things over and over. They say... Maybe it's you allergies to shell fish(my stomach), Maybe you get migraines becuase of a trigger, maybe maybe maybe.... I am tired of hearing maybe. When I asked them to do an internal scan to make sure I am really fine, they were like "your not telling us any serious things at the moment so we can't do that." What the heck! I was getting migraines 3-4 times a week til I started this new medicine. I still get them and I got one the other day just from wearing a hat! I don't know any of my medical history and I have told them this many times. No blood tests, no searches for anything! For all I know I could be dying from a tumor or cancer, or really have something wrong! And why the heck don't I have a period?! I hate this! I hate not knowing anything about my body! What the hell is wrong with me?! I am having such a bad day!

awwww.... Janine, that sux - i know this hug won't make it all better, but i'm sending it anyway *hugs*

surely you could find some doctor that will order these tests for you - specially if they are at *your* expense - it's not like it would kill them to do it.

If they are not finding a cause, maybe you frequent illnesses are psychophysiological in nature. You talk about a lot of stressors. You never know. It might be worth looking into.

I would get a second opinion pronto!!! Get a doctor who will run thorough tests. I used to think it was just all in my head until I finally found a pcp willing to do tons of blood tests and we found out my ana level was out of whack which indicated that I have an auto-immune disorder (normally Lupus but also can be Rheumatoid Arthritis, etc.). ONce that was determined they finally gave me the MRI, though thank goodness nothing showed up.

I hope you get to the bottom of it 'cause missing your cycle like that is just an indicator that something is going on.

Tangerine is really good, too. I wouldn't call it Moroccan, but the guides call it that. It is good, though.

I don't know how insurance works where you live, but it sounds like it's time to go to another doctor or medical group ASAP.

Okay s Monday is starting to look more appealing. I received an email from my finace. We have a phone date tonight. (nudge nudge wink wink)

Yesterday afternoon I had an interesting conversation with someone. They were shocked (though they would deny it, the look on their face said it all) when i described my wedding ring choice. I have decided on wearing 2 bands for my wedding ring. Both in silver. One a silver band from Morocco and one a silver band from Tiffany's. (yes i want the little blue box and yes I watch Breakfast at Tiffany's too much ) . I was told that silver is not approriate for a weddng ring because it is not gold. I was told if I do not like gold, I should get white gold because my wedding ring should reflect the importance of my committement. Silver is just too cheap to reflect this! .

Was it JP? (only kidding JP). and what about my committment, I don't even wear a ring!

Not sure who said this, but I think for a lot of MENA people, gold is valuable because it holds its value. Diamonds, other stones and siliver are considered 'cheap'. Thel thinking is that gold gives a women wealth independent of her husband.

Awww..I'm glad I come to mind when Tiffany's is mentioned.

Oh and I LOVE the little blue box, I have a few.

I am pms-ing... and I've had to call provider's billing departments all day. Ohhhhhhh man that's a patience-trier. "Um, like ok, so that is a really old date of service, k? So like its stuck in the system purge so it totally won't be accessible until um maybe next week, k? Um, you could maybe like call back then?"

What happened to PROFESSIONALISM??? K?

Jenn, is it making you crazy that at this moment Monday is sandwiched b/t Thursday & Sunday's threads?
