I don't remember the MTM hug, so I'll join the fray with the tacklhug. No mangling though.

Seriously, Gus, you are the only reason that I got online tonight, although not the only one I stayed. I hope it helps to see all the people who care. I hope it's just lonliness, although I understand that lonliness is not a word that goes with just. Been there. It sucks. But you can get through it.

I promise not to spindle you, for lo, it sounds painful.

God, me too. But being in solitary confinement for the last 6 months of pregnancy makes now seem like a mosh pit of companionship.

Weirdly, while I miss the humans, I also miss alone time.

Which I could have in a casual work environment, which is like a gerbil cage in a lot of ways, with the humans being the self-waterer.

I am, at the moment, having a few minutes of alone time before I start to feel guilty and go hang with the rest of the household.

Alone time without lonliness is good. A couple of years ago I spent a week with no alone time except in the bathroom and I just about lost my mind. Of course, the family members I was with might have had something to do with it.

I note you left out 'fold, spindle or mutilate'.

I figured you might be bendy.

Should I be eyeing you suspiciously next time I see you?

Only if I suddenly start mentioning my sudden keen to learn origami.

Then you've come to the right place. I'm contemplating making an origami rose in a lidded box for going to the movies on Sunday.

Do I embrace the "you can spindle me ANYtime" or just avoid it?

I'm torn.

(though not folded or mutilated)
