Yeah, I don't get them (Bad headaches) too often (Thank Heavens)
But when I do,... Makes the old wizard wanna crawl into his cauldron and pull the lid on. :P
I get 'regular' headaches often enough though,... :(
Various reasons, stress, working in an old building (Dust/mold) bad posture (Particularly at the desk/computer) etc etc,...

Back again. Man I need to get my s~~# together. I think I am dealing with some deeper situational depression than I thought I had. I'm having a lot of issues this week.
Sorry to hear that.
I'm all for getting over problems/situations/depression quickly. (Like you, I have been through some things that have given others ulcers.) ;P
But don't fool yourself either. Some things just take time. :)
(I know, I know. Sorry. I'll make a new Avatar and name him Captain Obvious) :P
Just do what you need to do is my only advice. Talk if you wanna, gripe you gotta, work, play, whatever. Just take care of yourself, then you can take care of business.
:)
My prayers are with you.

It’s easy for these things to sneak up on you; you think you’ve kind of dealt with it and at least semi moved on, then ~bam~, you realise you’ve actually been barely staving off for the last however long. Good that you’ve recognised it. Do you have someone to talk it out with?

I'll be OK. It's been hard dealing with Icky's passing and my 80-hour a week work schedule and then school and homework consisting of 14 pages of case briefings (I will give my professor props though, he was right when he said it got way easier to do with practice.)
I just haven't had the spark to do my PbP's. I'm very blessed in that depression rarely bothers me. When it does it can be hard for me to recognize it, since I so rarely deal with it I am unfamilliar with the symptoms.
But, things are looking up. I got my case briefings done, I'm good for tonight's class, I'll have tomorrow's shift to gussy up my PbPs and hopefully get paid over the next few days.

I have a new client that I entered 2 months worth of bank statements for in books that go back to about 2003. Now she is bombarding me with complaints about her books being all off.
For example, she bought a property worth, say, a million five years ago. But the balance sheet shows it's only worth 750k and when she looks, there are these deductions every year of 50k against the building. Not only that, but the value of the property has surely gone up because the area is more valuable, but it's not reflected in the books.
OK, depreciation and no allowances for unrealized gains on property value are not my fault. Talk to the IRS. The books aren't messed up, they are correct according to the laws of the land and generally accepted accounting practices. How have you been running this business for 15 years without understanding depreciation and realized vs unrealized gains and laws regarding such for real estate? Besides, I haven't touched those accounts. *sigh*

Well, I picked up Icky today and we had a last walk before I put him on my altar. He can keep Noelle and George company. I put his collar and his favorite toy with him as well.
I'm glad he's back home with you and his sibs. They offered me that for Shadow, but I couldn't. Just couldn't.

I feel a responsibilty towards him, even after he's passed. At some point, down the road, I will be buried with likely the ashes of a dozen pets. I'm good with that. I'll be ashes myself, so hopefully we'll all be one happy mixed pile in a military cemetery somewhere

I won't lie, I'm sad. But, it's a clean sad, and it's mine.
He was a good dog. I really wish I had had the seven more years I was expecting, and that he could have gotten old and spoiled in a house with a big fenced-in yard somewhere, but we never know the time we are allotted.
He'll watch over my altar with my other furbabies. I can always see him, and I have all the good memories. Plus, I can at least take solace in that I gave him another 3 1/2 years of life he might not have gotten had he remained in the shelter.

Well, like I said before, I know your pain. Tuffy was a good dog, too. He was my grandfather's dog, and we inherited him after my grandfather passed. He bonded with me more closely than with my three siblings. He got old, couldn't move as well as he used to, so my parents took him to be put asleep while I was at school. At the time, I was angry and sad that I couldn't say goodbye. But now that I'm much older, I understand why. Seeing my dog die would probably have left me emotionally scarred for life. So, if I'm ever up your way, we should get together and drink a toast to our old friends.

indeed. I kept several birds as a boy and handling their bodies after they passed... Built character, as some older folks would say. I have never forgotten it. Nor have i forgotten handling my poor cat, although that was far more traumatic for mom than for me.
I know they rest peacefully. I find it amusing that at least one of the birds is probably teasing the cat.

True, but I can't toast through the computer. It would ruin it, and maybe cause a fire. Besides, it's still useful, and I still need it. :)
