Pix, so glad there's a bit of good news. Hope that bears out. So sorry for all the trauma and stress you two are going through! Continued good thoughts for both of you!

Thanks, omnis. I'd love to have a mini-F2F. Almost everyone I grew up with down here has moved away so I have very few people I know here.

Good luck on asking the co-worker out! And on getting up 2 hours earlier...

Spidra, I wouldn't assume that a child and family specialty practice would turn you away for being single. My friend is an MFCC at a similar practice and she definitely sees single, adult clients.

I was going to suggest the same. Unless the practice has signs on it that specifies single adults need not apply, this one might actually do very well for you, as at least some of what you will need to hash out are coping skills for making your present life at home with your parents smoother and more comfortable.

Crap, Drew - I'm sorry the second tube hurt so much going in. Here's to hoping it does its job from here on out, without hurting you.

Blergh, Drew, that sounds craptastic. Further tube~ma to you.

Lots of ~ma to Bonnie too.

~Ma for all! And tiny American flags for some!

much ~ma to Drew and to Bonny and to Sean.

And, because it deserves its own post:

Happy Birthday, Spidra!

Thanks, Anne! (Yes, I'm still up, dammit.)

I'm sorry to read about Buffistas' bad moments. And ~ma to lisah's friend's brother.

Happy birthday, Spidra!

Happy birthday, Spidra!

Hippo Birdies, Spidra!
