vw--You're completely doing the right thing. Hard but right.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

vw - I will be thinking of you all day. Bless you, you are doing the right thing. I'm sorry you have no other options.
A girlfriend (was my Matron of Honor) sent me a picture she took of me in the office where we worked. It must be about 1988, when I was 35. The message header was "My goal for you this year." Huh I think she might be saying I need to get off my fat ass and start working out. This GF did 2 marathons with me and wants to do more. I'm feeling a little inspired because it seems like yesterday.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
{{vw}} I think it is the right thing. I'm sorry you even have to think about this.
That picture inspires me Laura.
thanks for the birthday wishes

Mostly lurking...
A few weeks ago I bought these fabulous purple mugs from Pottery Barn. I love big mugs for my morning coffee, and I decided it was time to retire the snow man mugs till next winter. Just now, as I was washing dishes, I dropped one of the purple mugs and broke it. This is how I know I'm stressed. I totally broke down about the stupid thing. I'm still crying. I know it's not really about the mug, but that's what set me off. It seems so totally stupid.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, vw. So very much -ma, and all the punctuation in the world.

{{vw}} It is always the little badly timed little events that hit the worst when you are fragile. Every bit of extra strength I have is vibing in your direction.

{{vw}} I'll keep you in my thoughts today. It is the right thing, but it is too bad that the right thing is so stressful.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
{{{vw}}} It's always the tiny little things like that that set me into tears or fury when I'm under stress.
And you're totally doing the right thing. I'm praying for you and your friend.
