The anxietyViews: 218

It’s so bad every Wednesday. I just can’t stand the fact that I’m feeling fine physically (But I know I’m not well) and then going in to be sick and tired for the rest of the week only to go back next Wednesday to repeat the process. It’s so frustrating. I always want to quit this game but who doesn’t?

And on top of it all my sister took my Zune to school which infuriates me because she has such a poor sense of responsibility and it’s probably all scratched up if not stolen by now. It’s been missing for months and she has had it. Sitting in a chair for two hours just looking around the room I’ve been looking at for almost two years gets old after the first time.

I wish Julia had some consideration for someone other than herself 80% of the time.

Hay! I know things look bad some times.
But I am sending some sun shine and a sea breeze to make you feel better.

I am also from Pittsburgh and a patient at Magee hospital. Maybe our paths will cross.

You want I should come shake your sister upside down til your zune comes home?

Just an offer

Mac

If you did not get angry you would not know that you still care. You are proving you are still a fighter and music or not you will get thru every wednesday.
