I think this has to be strangest TOD ever asked.
And perhaps somewhat personal IMHO.

I just try to focus on the task at hand. If I am at the theatre, I cannot do anything about what is happening at the store - and vice versa.
Two things I have learned......your life is like a chest of drawers.....if ALL of the drawers are open at once, it is chaos. Only open the drawer you need at the moment.....and don't open the sock drawer if you are looking for underwear. No more than ONE drawer should be open at any given time.
AND - we all have baggage. You cannot pick up one more thing unless you set something down....if you are carrying baggage for someone else, put it down. Only carry what belongs to you.
My late, wonderful and very bright grandmother once told me: "Nothing on this earth is worth worrying over if it's going to affect your health."

For stress and being physically tired, and well, stressed out, I retreat for at least a day or so to restore my batteries.
For worry, I found a little trick that actually works for me. A friend told me about it and made me do it once, and I found it worked for me. I make a list of all the things I'm worried about and want to worry about. I don't actually do any worrying-- I just add the item to the list. I then set aside some time (30 minutes or an hour depending on how many things there are), and I worry about them. I have the copmplete luxury to totally worry for that time. When the Bell rings, and the time is up, I put the list aside and quit worrying. It sounds silly, but it works. And it frees me up the rest of the time to not worry (especially about all those needless things that you find you relly don't have to worry about anyway). I rarely have to do this anymore because there aren't that many things that actually make it to the list these days.
It is a Winter Wonderland in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
Don't know if this has been mentioned, as I have not caught up, but they are installing a 24 hour ATM CUPCAKE machine on the Upper West Side.
Vibes to BK for a safe and uneventful trip home.
Great cabaret, great company, and great coconut cake.
I am still finishing my baked potato. :)
I think it is also important to note that while you are an extremely busy person, you are, in fact, captain of your own ship while most of the rest of us are mere sailors and must heed time-frames imposed upon us by those who pay our wages
Feel better vibes to Larry.
Hope I get to see you next time.
I'm here at the airport now. I was originally going to leave the hotel at nine-thirty, but folks told me it could take an hour to ninety minutes, so i got nervous and left at nine instead.

Well, I awoke in the middle of the night to the surprising sight of over 6 inches of snow outside.
I'm still in my neck brace - I really hate them - but I still can't turn my head to the left, although the pain is going away, I've met my huge deadline with the booklet notes, and I need a month at the Mayo Clinic to recuperate and readjust. The only major tsuris in my life now is this whole office evacuation/new office mess, so keep them vibes coming!
I think there needs to be a baby in an upcoming episode of Outside the Box.

Just returned from my first outside walk of 2012. It's almost 80o outside and our neighborhood is hilly. 15 minutes outside is a lot harder than 30 in the basement!
I am super excited. I just read that this tour of female YA writers (Smart Chicks kick it) is coming right near me in September:
http://www.smartchickskickit.com/schedule.html
Hopefully they will add a few more of the authors to the event that is here here (since I love 3 of them who are not listed for Montreal).
Also, I am praying that my niece will not schedule her birthday party for that time (it is on a saturday at 2pm and her birthday is on the Monday). Luckily my sister also likes at least one of those authors. And she sounded like she would be agreeable to doing the party on the Sunday (since she does have 6 months notice).
This is the bookstore i always go to. Fingers crossed.
Is anyone going to watch the new show on NBC. I think it's called Fashion Star. I think i will try it.
Nature always soothes me, especially walks

No. We are watching re-runs of WAGON TRAIN. Does that make you feel less alone?

Just arrived! Fantastic.

DR Dan (the Man) I wish you didn't have to wait until tomorrow to see the doctor, glad though that you have made an appointment.

Still sick here. I made an appointment with my doctor tomorrow but I'm pretty sure I have some form of pneumonia. I usually don't like to self-diagnose but after talking to several different friends and family, and then researching on WebMD, it pretty much sounds like what I have. But we shall see what the doctor says...

I tried to get an appointment for today but they were booked solid. But now that I have an idea about what might be wrong with me, I feel less stressed out about it.

Mine has been shipped, but I haven't received it yet...the estimated date of arrival is March 21. :( That's what I get for specifying free shipping.
What DID arrive today was an audio-DVD by BK's very own close and personal friend, Grant Geissman: The Grant Geissman Quintet: There And Back Again (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002WZSBM/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details)!
AND this morning, I finally got a DVD/CD player installed on my work computer!! I can listen/watch the audio-DVD today, right after I finish the CD that I got yesterday: Melissa Errico's Legrand Affair (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JRM700/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details). It's very lush and lovely. :)
Ok, need some quick advice. Enjoy the nicest day of the year at home or go to Blue Man Group....I'm leaning toward staying home

I guess you all know how I handle stress. I just go into my little cave and don't do much talking at all. I know I even make Thelma mad because I don't call or come over. I'm a bad friend when I'm depressed and or stressed.
It's funny how all of the wonderful things that have happened these past couple of weeks have changed how I feel.
Angies List was already contacted by a local Contractor who wants to look at the house!!!!!!
I also heard from Frigidare. Thank goodness they understand about not delivering the new washer/drier until I have someplace to put them! :)

Is it
Connecticut Public Radio (http://www.cpbn.org/)?
If so, you could probably stream it at some point after the broadcast. I don't get any CT stations on my radio live.
Here is a list of CT stations which stream live
CT Streaming AM & FM Stations (http://streamingradioguide.com/radio-station-list-by-state.php?state=CT)
And none of those stations stream their programming.

I often walk and talk at the same time...
DR Cillaliz, yes the Border Patrol agents are my least favorites....very egotistical, even though they did do a nice gesture for the Alabama guys on the last episode.
I went to Blue Man Group. It was a very last minute decision. It was good. I'm glad I went but don't think I'll ever go again.That was sort of how I felt.

I saw your Tweet, DR Danise, and I'm following you - welcome to the Twitterverse!
I have to say, I really detest twitter; i get a millions pieces of that crap every day from no one i know, and i see absolutely no value in it.
[I have no idea what this is all about...
Synopsis
The men on the surgical ward at Haven Hospital create their own brand of havoc when, after teasing the nurses all day, they decide to help a fellow patient by performing a midnight operation on him themselves.
Carry On Nurse takes the comedic target of hospital life with its strict nurses, snobbish doctors and bullied patients and takes in to a new level of comedy by focusing more on the lives of the patients and nurses. Its phenomenal success in the UK and the US made a third Carry On inevitable.
Among the patients are Bernie Bishop (Kenneth Connor), a boxer with a broken fist, Mr Hinton (Charles Hawtrey), who conducts symphonies from his radio headphones. Percy Hickson (Bill Owen), whose broken leg gets hoisted on pulleys and whose wife (Irene Handl) gets upset filling in forms. Jack Bell (Leslie Phillips) is stopped from a romantic weekend by a bunion on his foot and it is to aid him that his fellows volunteer to operate, led by Oliver Reckitt (Kenneth Williams). Oliver is a bookish student who reads in a medical book how the operation should be done. He is also the only one who will stand up to the formidable matron (Hattie Jacques) who terrifies all around her including her nurses. Nurse Dawson (Joan Sims) particularly seems unable to do anything right when Matron is around but Nurse Denton (Shirley Eaton), who provides the romantic interest along with Terence Longden, tries to help the disaster-prone trainee as much as she can. They also have to cope with the Colonel (Wilfred Hyde-White), a private patient in a side ward, who tears them ragged with his buzzer and his constant gambling requests.
They do, however, get their own back on him in the last scene of the film when they get him to lie face down in order to have his temperature taken. When Matron comes in and finds him in this position he says, "Surely you've seen a temperature taken like this before?" To which she replies, in what must be one of the funniest moments of any of the carry ons, "Yes, Colonel, but never with a daffodil!" This joke is then followed up in Carry On Doctor, when a nurse holds up a flower to Frankie Howerd and he says "Oh no you don't, I saw that film," to which the nurse replies that she just wanted him to smell it.
Thanks Der B
