thanks so much hun! your words are very wise, and very true. and I appreciate it. luckily I woke up this morning feeling a lot more positive and less emotional. my physical condition affected my emotions last night - today i'll see a doctor and hopefully clear it up.

I totally agree with you about people not accepting change. they have a routine, and certain friends that they hang out with, and they don't want to make new friends or alter the routine. so it's hard when you move around (like I do) and try to make new friends and feel a part of things.
I do enjoy my time alone, though, so that's why i was surprised at myself that I was letting the people at work get to me. I've never had friends at work, so I shouldn't care. I have a husband and a cat, and my family (though they're far, they're always there by phone), and my movies and books - and my LJ! so I should be okay. and you are right that things might change eventually.

thanks again! your comment made me feel lots better:) (and so did the picture of Jake - hee)

*hugs*
