    DAG> By: Nancy Backus to Damon A. Getsman on Sat Aug 29 2015 19:00:12   
       
    NB>> Quite so.  :)  And that sort of thing can be a fall-back too when the   
    NB>> meds issues arise... as long as you have enough focus to find them...   
    DAG> Yeah I need to find a new bead shop so that I can get ahold of more   
    DAG> materials to finish the hemp necklaces that I have in progress.  It   
    DAG> would probably be a good idea to find out when that knitting class   
    DAG> takes place at the library, too. Maybe it's something that I can do   
    DAG> while D is in school now that he's back there for the session.   
      
   That sounds like a good possibility...  :)  Or if it ends being after   
   school, maybe he could find things to read at the library while you take   
   your class... or do his homework there... ;)   
      
    NB>> Sounds a lot like life to me...  ;0  But if you can focus on the   
    NB>> triumphs instead of the quagmires, you'll be able to deal with the   
    NB>> latter better...  :)   
    DAG> Always a struggling point for me, but one that I am constantly   
    DAG> trying to work on.  Right now I think I need to try to get a little   
    DAG> bit of a better hold on the meditation that I've slipped up on.  I   
    DAG> kind of let it drop by the wayside while I was recovering from my   
    DAG> injuries; it always fit in perfectly before or at the end of my   
    DAG> physical training, so I've dropped yet another coping mechanism.    
    DAG> I've started getting with it again lately, but as with training the   
    DAG> body, the time off takes its toll.    
      
   Maybe you should work on finding some sort of alternate time for doing   
   it, for when the physical training goes on hiatus for whatever reason...   
   so you don't lose both coping mechanisms at once... :)   
      
    NB>> In person she might only be more annoying, you never know... ;)    
    NB>> Although, maybe, she might throw some clues by body language... which   
    NB>> might or might not be any help... ;)  Mostly you probably just have   
    NB>> to ignore her anyway... :)   
    DAG> Well body language usually at least gives me clues as to what people   
    DAG> I'm dealing with like to hear and what they don't like to hear.  I'd   
    DAG> love to have that advantage with her, but you may be very right as far   
    DAG> as her not being very reasonable in person.    
      
   Perhaps a "compromise" would be to meet her once in person, to scope out   
   the body language, and then just keep that in mind for when you deal   
   with her on the phone... ;) (yes, a little tongue-in-cheek, perhaps [g])   
      
    DAG> I know the office IT job that I   
    DAG> had always had a few unpleasant people like that to deal with.    
    DAG> 'Course there one of them was my direct boss/former burglar.   
       
   There's a story there....  ;)   
      
    NB>> I KNOW that I have lots more messages to answer... one at a time...   
    NB>> eventually maybe they'll all get answered...  :)   
    DAG> Yep.  I'm workin' on it, too.  :)  As always, more soon.  ;)   
      
   Yup...  As long as we keep them flowing, pretty much, shouldn't get TOO   
   far behind, either one of us..  ;)   
      
   ttyl       neb   
      
   ... I'm a little tagline. When I grow up I wanna be a novel.
