            <description>    &lt;p&gt;I function well when I&amp;#39;m exhausted.&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m not taking &amp;quot;about to die exhausted&amp;quot;, just the level where you&amp;#39;re more in tune with how your muscles don&amp;#39;t want to fight gravity any longer.&amp;#160; How there&amp;#39;s a weight on your eyelid that seems to want to keep it shut.&amp;#160; Quiet contemplative thoughts, scrambling for where I left off and who I needed to help next.&amp;#160; It was a juggling act.&amp;#160; It felt like too much and I didn&amp;#39;t do perfect, but I&amp;#39;m proud for doing what I got done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m pissed about thinking I lost my checking card.&amp;#160; I&amp;#39;m pissed that I had to jump through my banks hoops to put a hold on my accounts and scrambling to figure out if there are any automated payments that might bounce.&amp;#160; I wasn&amp;#39;t thrilled about the little sniper calls from people who chipmunked my number away&amp;#160;for when they need&amp;#160;my help (because my phone&amp;#39;s ring makes me jump)&amp;#160;but I didn&amp;#39;t show it.&amp;#160; I got over it and I made them happy.&amp;#160; They have other people&amp;#39;s email address and phone numbers, other people that could hook them up with me, but they like the source and while this sounds cocky &amp;quot;I can&amp;#39;t say I blame them&amp;quot;.&amp;#160; I fought my away around, I got my answers, I know who to go to when I need something&amp;#160; that&amp;#39;s out my grasp.&amp;#160; Most of the time I&amp;#39;m about results and who shouldn&amp;#39;t be proud of that.&amp;#160; I&amp;#39;m not crazy&amp;#160;with saying no.&amp;#160; I don&amp;#39;t mop myself into corners by doing -everything- someones way -- sometimes I can cut straight to the heart with an email and avoid begging, pleading, tone of voice, and strange reasoning ... When I sense &amp;quot;emotion flags&amp;quot;, I love communicating through email.&amp;#160;Just tell me your problem, I don&amp;#39;t need the &amp;quot;puppy&amp;quot; act.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m happy I got some more work done on our system and got more positive feed back.&amp;#160; I like feeling like what I do is ultimately beneficial.&amp;#160; I hope in some way the things I do can make a difference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m happy I got to spend time with my sister.&amp;#160; I&amp;#39;m relieved that we had some time to talk and make light of everything that irks us.&amp;#160; I&amp;#39;m proud of acting goofy and&amp;#160;making her and my neice laugh.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finally, I&amp;#39;m&amp;#160;excited I get to sleep now.&amp;#160; despite the bug to do more &amp;quot;stuff&amp;quot;, to have &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot;, and browse around... I need to recharge!&amp;#160; Night people!&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What fashion trend are you most excited to wear this season? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
I don&amp;#39;t give two shits for what&amp;#39;s trendy.&amp;#160; I see, I try, I like, I buy, I wear.&amp;#160; One of the main things I shop for is what&amp;#39;s affordable.&amp;#160; Old Navy, Steve and Barry&amp;#39;s, &amp;quot;TJ Maxx stores&amp;quot;, touristy t shirt shit, a comfortable pair of shoes -- just got a pair of Converse.&amp;#160; I usually don&amp;#39;t buy converse because they used to be rough on my feet.&amp;#160; These are quite comfy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I want to look &amp;quot;nice&amp;quot;, I don&amp;#39;t look for trends or whats hot, or what people are wearing.&amp;#160; I put together something I like.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t know.&amp;#160; I just have to be thrifty these days.&amp;#160; Gas will be $5 a gallon in no time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;I felt funky this morning. &lt;br /&gt;I had a sour stomach all after noon.&lt;br /&gt;I wished my mom a happy mothers day.&lt;br /&gt;A little later, I couldn&amp;#39;t walk without feeling extremely ill.&lt;br /&gt;Just a few moments ago... I made a rather violent offering to the porcelain gods... It felt as if it was going to be a human sacrifice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My eyes are black and blue and bloodshot.&amp;#160; My stomach is still off.&lt;br /&gt;Happy mothers day mom ... Please avoid me like the plague!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#39;s the best thing about your mom? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
She&amp;#39;s a beautiful, strong, intelligent and endearing woman.&amp;#160; I can&amp;#39;t pick one best thing about her.&amp;#160; She was in her 40s when she was pregnant with me.&amp;#160; She had me despite her age, the odds, the words of others... She&amp;#39;s given me life and we&amp;#39;re both fine.&amp;#160; According to science at the time, I wasn&amp;#39;t supposed to be &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot;, there should have been a lot of problems with me... So, no one &amp;quot;upsold&amp;quot; my existence and she didn&amp;#39;t listen, she felt she knew better.&amp;#160; She was right.&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Growing up, she gave me the attention and love and scolding I needed.&amp;#160; Sometimes, things could have gone either way.&amp;#160; I think if it wasn&amp;#39;t for her, I wouldn&amp;#39;t feel as good about myself as I can now.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What are you most sensitive about?&amp;#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Depends.&amp;#160; Lots of things but I am not divulging it here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I think someone is taking advantage of a sensitivity, I become an unhappy camper.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;
