I am sooo close to not being a newbie anymore so I am going to put up a random post. (Plus it's been really dead on the board, hasn't it?)
I've been getting optical migraines lately and it's driving me nuts. Usually they're brought on by stress but I got one this morning when I woke up and I don't think I'm feeling stressed...
I rode a motorcycle for the first time this past weekend. I was definitely nervous about it. My Dad drove. It was fun but I was holding my arms around him too tight to see much, haha! And I didn't want to let go enough to adjust so I could see.
I'm really frustrated about our house. I realize the market is slow, but we haven't had one showing. I'm frustrated because there isn't anything I can DO to fix the problem. I'm one of those people who always wants to do something and hates sitting around. I'm so impatient! 
And, finally, I'm pretty bored at work right now. I have work to do but I switched jobs interally and am realizing I do not like my new one at all. I admit it, I gotta get myself motivated and doing some real work again, but I am having a really hard doing that.
Re: Random
Thanks... I know I need to try to calm down about it but I'm still having a hard time. I also need to keep remembering that we don't really NEED to sell. I think putting so much work into it is what is frustrating. That and trying to keep it meticulously clean (was vacuuming almost every day) and so far that has been pointless. But oh well. Hopefully it will pay off eventually...

Just try to stay positive. Things will work out. There may be a lot going on internally that are causing your migraines. You can control them by worrying less.
Sending positive vibes for you home and job situations...

You're still getting those migraines?! I was hoping they'd be gone by now!
Don't be down on the house. Just think, you're out NOW when you don't neeeed to sell. Just think if you would have waited till you guys really needed to sell! Your houses new owner just hasn't stumbled upon the house yet.
I think I'm too scared to drive a motorcycle, and honestly I only rode with my dad because nobody wanted to ride with him. He's really excited because he just got his first bike.
I'm going to ride again and not hold on so tight so I can actually enjoy it.

I hope things work out with your house. It will happen. I agree with Tammy...your houses new owner is still out there waiting to find your house!!
I hope your migraines get better. You may not realize that the house and other things are actually causing you stress...in turn, migraines! It may be subconcious...try to relax...everything will work out...it always does!!
Thanks... I know that there are lot of people with much bigger problems than mine but I bet worrying about a bunch of little things is probably causing the migraines. I tend to be a worry wart, too, lol.

Jen - you are so not a newbie!!
Killer migraines...have you tried wearing your sunglasses when it happens? I used to do this at work whenever it hit me, and yes I may look funny wearing my shades in, but wow did they help like crazy. Eric has migraines/cluster headaches so bad that he got an oxygen tank. It helps alleviate the pressure...maybe you can talk to your Doc about that option. Pure air helps pain? Crazy right?
Just be patient with the housing market, it's coming back up slowly and surely. ::HUGS:: and hope you stay positive about it all! ;-)
Yes, still getting the migraines. At least the one today went away before I had to drive but I took two advil to get rid of it. I try to avoid any medicine at all.
Send vibes that our house's new owner finds the house!
