I agree with Sojourner on this one. It could be a sign of depression. Or it could be stress too. I'm sure being an officer has a ton of stress to it when you may not know what you will be up against from day to day. Or maybe you are stressed out some other way in your job. Are you getting along with people right now? Is anyone annoying you? Then again, LC, it could just be a shift in your personality and you might just enjoy your alone time more than you used to.

Atta girl!

The great thing about being a woman is the right to change your mind for no reason at all. One day you may wake up and think, I need to go to the mall, I have to go to the mall and buy something,. . . anything!

Another day you may feel a craving for something special to eat and end up at the grocery looking for ingredients for that one special recipe.

It's all about baby steps. Don't expect to be the life of the party tomorrow but eventually you will be, that's the kind of personality you have.

Feel better soon

I understand this pussycat. People have to try awfully hard to make me like them. I like my me time. That said, if you spend enough time with me, pretty soon your swimming in Lake Me. Sometimes ya just gotta force yourself to get up and get out. You need exercise, you need hot, humid swamp stenched air to breathe, and you need to see what all the idiots are doing from time to time.

Go to Barnes and Nobles, get some coffee and spill it all over one of thier books then put it back. Take a frickin drive, scare the neighborhood kids with your Marlon Brando orange in your mouth impersonation....whatever, just get out sometimes.

Ya hear ?

That's it, Carla. It's a part of life, as sh!tty as that is. It's her journey and she has to do it. Thankfully, she's a tough, stubborn, strong, determined, willful and MUCH LOVED woman who can do anything she sets her mind to. I'm lucky to have such a person as a friend.

i swear i love you guys!! i did go out to lunch with a couple people last week, and even returned a bunch of phone calls. Bothwell gets on my case because he thinks i stay home so i don't miss his calls. he's right. anyway, one deputy asked me to go to his house and visit for the day with he and his wife, i balked. i can't do it. too much of a commitment. hey, I'M the lucky one to have you for friends!! maybe i'll venture out to the beach. we're having one hell of a windstorm, the waves have got to be amazing. i get all weepy when i'm at the beach, remembering things we did, but as he says to me, let those memories make you smile.

Wow, wish I could join you at that beach!!

I've just gone through a patch of reclusiveness and my friends though wonderful, just keep ringing calling in etc, in the end I had to make it very clear that I just wanted to be alone. My salvation was rough stormy sea's last weekend, spent two hours just sitting and listening to the sea, sorts me out every time!!

it's much different than cornwall, i'd rather be there on windswept cliffs. it's so moody and heathcliff.

Thats a beautiful picture, I'm so lucky to be surounded by all this! I don't think I could ever move away from the sea.

that's falmouth as you know, i lived on cape cod many years, it's falmouth there too. i love how we adopted English names for all our new england towns, plymouth, duxbury, so many others. you are a great seafaring nation, i cannot wait to live there.

What's the timeframe for your move to England? Whatever are you going to do with all your stuff?

lady cop · Post by **lady cop** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 7:34 pm

the time frame is contingent on reams of paperwork and the English home office, and i have given away almost all my "stuff" except what i must have.

Ah. Then you are good to go whenever 'they' allow you in....... Are you still going to maintain US citizenship? That will mean you need to come back every so often -- right? Boy with my indecisive nature, :-3 I sure hope I never am faced with such life altering decisions. I'd be a basketcase....... I admire your courage. :-6

I'm feeling strangely diplomatic tonight, LC, (how unlike me, huh?) and I do believe our Moverguy is just a healthy young male who hasn't been in the hands of a real woman for quite some time.

(Mover, if you're a married man, my apologies to your wife. And my condolonces. :yh_rotfl )

I guess I'm feeling a bit sad at leaving Bullet at the hospital in pain, so being mean and tough just doesn't jive with my mood right now. I'll be back to myself when he's home tomorrow.
