Yes, Kristin -- you will be fine. It was the right decision.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Kristin, it's going to be OK.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I got the pretty new shelves I ordered. I got the first one 3/4 of the way constructed and then got a business call. I left it laying on the floor of the living room, perfectly safe since both babies were napping.
Kara decided she wasn't napping after all, and came down just after I got on the phone. That was okay though, she started quietly playing with her dinosaurs.
Only, she got bored, and I was on the phone. So she broke the bookshelf, stripped the screw holes, broke the wood. It's... I don't know if I can fix it, but it doesn't look like it. A mostly constructed 72 inch bookshelf. It weighs three times her weight. I don't even know how she did it.
Sorry, I don't mean to be all mememe. {{{Kristin}}} It really will be okay. You'll be happier and it will all come out right.

Kristin, it's totally going to be ok. You remember that faith I have in you? I don't have that in just anyone ;)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
BAD KARA! Time for the naughty circle.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
Thanks everyone. I'm sorry to be needy and leany, especially given the horror -t is dealing with right now...I'm just so unsettled in so many aspects of my life right now, and I'm profoundly scared. I don't scare easily. I don't like feeling this way.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh, -t, there aren't words to express how sorry I am. So much ~ma to you and your husband.
Susan, all the best to your father, and coping~ma for you.

I'm still a smoker, but I've cut down drastically over the past 4 years. I used to smoke a pack and a half a day, and now I'm down to a pack every 4 days or so. I decided not to smoke in the new apartment, and that has been the difference. It's amazing how much less I want a cigarette when I have to put on shoes, a coat, and hat to satisfy the urge.
Stephanie, I like Ella, Elena (which would sound very pretty with your last name), and Elisa. I think the option of having a more formal name on the birth certificate gives her the most choices, whatever she decides to become.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Kristin, you're doing the right thing. All the best decisions are terrifying, I think, because to get the big rewards you have to take the big risks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Someone please tell me that it's all going to be okay?
It's going to be fine. Honestly, I temped for 10 years. Cobbled together rent money for a year of unemployment. You'll be amazed at how many resources you'll still have without your steady job. And you'll find something else readily. Nobody's going to say No to you.
