I agree. Monday's too soon, I'd wait until late Tuesday or Wednesday to give her time to recover from her conference and the holiday.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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

Spidra, I am sorry to hear that your family has hurt you, but I am glad to hear you can go to the PixDesigns where I am sure there will be good food and good company.

Our wings are not tired.
Sorry about the family crazies, Spidra.
Thanks for all the suggestions and support. She will be coming over tomorrow and I am sure we will all be letting her know she is loved. I am going to make sure and also let her know my room is her escape pod because she will surely want some down time from the 20+ people. It just breaks my heart that she suffers so.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Just keep reminding her its temporary would be my suggestion. I never believe it much when that's what's happening, but it percolates gently. "This sucks. This WILL go away."

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oooh, another thing for your sister, Laura, is Uncle Stephen's letter to a woman suffering depression: [link]

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
And just when I thought I couldn't love Stephen Fry any more.

I'm just all paranoid and impatient and don't know how I'm going to make this all happen in a month, especially with the holidays.
Heh. You can do it. It's easier than you might think!!

The status is NOT quo.
Hugs to Laura. The only thing harder than dealing with your own depression is dealing with a loved one's depression, IMO.
Smonster... t tacklehug! Just 'cuz.

argh! I needed a few more tablespoons of confectioners sugar, but I said "hey, I can let that go, the icing is sweet enough". Then I went to put saran wrap over the bowl and there wasn't enough.
I could go to the all night Giant, but feh. I suppose I could also use some cold drugs.
What's messed up is that my big issue is that I don't want to put on a bra. Hmm, maybe if I wear a coat.
