> I got through a challenging meeting today pretty well and am just glad it is over. I was angry at a couple of people who told me at the last minute they couldn't come. But I expressed it directly and assertively that they were expected anyway. (This was a bear of a meeting to arrange and they had a lot of notice and certainly plenty of time to tell me about their time conflicts--rather than two hours before the meeting!) They both did show up for at least part of it, so I guess the assertiveness worked.

> One mishap today--I overslept, because my clock was mistakenly set to PM. Ooops. That made me grumpy, but I dealt with it and made the best of getting to work as soon as possible. Time was when I would be so upset about getting to work late, I would get depressed and overwhelmed and call in sick altogether.
......................Hi Noa - Thanks so very much for all the information about the thyroid stuff. I really appreciate it and will try to get both the books you mentioned. What does IMHO mean?
It sounds like you are doing REALLY WELL!!! I'm so pleased for you. I'm just a recent internet user & never thought I'd ever be using a site like this & guess what? I never knew I could get to care personally about perfect strangers so quickly!
I hope you have a good weekend - whatever good means for you. I hope your knee keeps improving quickly. Take care.
Kath
