    Love your cat photobombing the white blood cell CCL :rotfl: Only on this thread........

    She's definitely giving me 'that' look isn't she? :rotfl:
  • Check in from me. Hope you are feeling better Cat. If it's any consolation I'm back at work tomorrow and can feel my stress levels rising too. No migraine but all my usual symptoms :( have kept it at bay for a while but a few things mean it's back, hope I can get rid soon. Not helped that again today there are some things that only I'm bothered about - they bother me and when not quite right it increases my stress. However, I know that for some it just doesn't bother them - I need to learn to deal with that too.

    Sorry, I'm windging, I know people have much bigger problems.

    I've done well on my list today, so that helps. Off to have a relaxing evening and do some meditation :)
