Date Posted: 16:25:34 08/18/09 Tue In reply to: 's message, "Re: Well I'm in appleton........" on 23:16:30 08/17/09 Mon Thanks Tom, It will probably be awhile before I am in the market, but I certainly wouldn't want to get "taken". I am right now calling UW-Oshkosh to get my degree evaluated and up to snuff for WI's comparable degree. I hope I will not have to take anything, but I need their seal of approval just the same before I can utilize it in the counseling field. I have also called Dept. of Corrections. I have to get a substantial job before I can improve my lifestyle. Billy is being kind of difficult. They are not kidding about the terrible twos....my patience are very limited with this. I am waiting the badger care cards so I can take him in to get evaluated for speech. He's doing a whole lot of crying and whining, etc... I knew this would be the hard part for me and boy was I right. Can't wait 'til this stage is over. I feel guilty every day for my frazzled nerves and lack of patience :(. That's why I think going back to work would be the best thing for both of us and would relieve some of the pressure I am feeling. Thanks for the encouraging words. It's interesting and hard to tackle a new place. It will get easier with time, hopefully. I don't even know who will be able to cut my hair LOL. It has to be someone that knows the art of texturizing for fine hair. I'll ask the next person whose hair I like who cuts their hair. How is everything going with you? I was thinking that my dog Shane waited to come here to die because he knew if he died in Marquette, I would go to other housing there. I would have had a harder time leaving as well. I am waiting to get his ashes so I can keep him with me until I find a suitable place to sprinkle them...someday when I own a house, I think.
