Oh wait! There's a bookmark in the book!

Heh! I thought the bookmark was a part of the book, but that's awesome.

And wow. That was almost the worst timing ever to post, right after Erin's post.

Erin, love - I have so much respect for you, especially after reading your post. You know yourself, you know your limits, you're taking care at yourself. And that's A LOT. Board-speaking, it means a thing.

I can see you're struggling; but I think you're doing wonderfully just to acknowledge that and to have a plan to help yourself to get through this. Much, much ~ma.

Skipped 1500 + posts to get thanked :)

What Shir didn't mention was the procuring questionable items for her dad. And I thought the cookie jar the perfect vessel to smuggle in, that gives stuff for her dad, and cool thing for Shir... except the box it came in wasn't a box, so I couldn't reseal the box with contraband inside, AND the jar makes cool sounds, which isn't cool when your are trying to hide/smuggle illegal tea. I can't tell you how many times I shushed that package. And then came to a mental halt on how to hide the contraband. Thankfully Shir said if the contraband is seized it is seized, so I sent it separate from the jar so Shir can get that, at least. Thankfully it sounds like both packages made it :)

All that to say, no problem. Your welcome. Happy to be here for you. And glad it arrived on a day when you needed a mental lift. Since it collided with Laga package, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Ok, back to dark grey status. Damn job keeping me from reading borg.

Oh, Erin, I'm so sorry. That's so hard. But it sounds like a well thought-out decision for your future well-being. I wish you luck on the job hunt.

{{{Erin}}} I wish I was good for more than hugs and hairpats.

(By the way, yes, you read it right. Apparently there are some kinds of tea my country takes for contraband. But hey, I live in a certain place. And it's craxy).

And wow. That was almost the worst timing ever to post, right after Erin's post.

Not at all, love.

My post isn't a DARK DESPAIR post; more like an FYI, here's where it's at, thanks for all the fish post. I'm nervous, but it's more like breaking up with a wonderful guy, whose just not the right guy for me, you know?

A little regret, nerves, but hope for the future.

I love that we are both smugglers. Seeds aren't plants, right?

Oh Erin, I wish you peace in making and following through with your decision. Not everyone can even try teaching (I would be horrible at it), and you're making the best most responsible decision for you and your students.

Erin, my darling, you take care of you, first. I'm so proud of you for recognizing what you need to do in order to function and feel better.

I actually have an idea for you that I shall email you about.

{{{Erin}}} Best of luck, and I hope this decision brings you lots and lots of peace.
