Liese, this is a huge revelation for me. In the past, I'd be worrying myself sick over it. Now? I feel sorry for them, but I am not the bad guy in this. I need to move forward and live my life.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Because books.
Buffy is adorable!
I feel sorry for them, but I am not the bad guy in this. I need to move forward and live my life.
That's huge, Maria. I'm so glad you're getting there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Liese, this is a huge revelation for me.
Yeah, it's a biggie for sure. And one easier said than done. But good on you, and your future you thanks you for it!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Good for you, Maria.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Of course they're grieving too, and it's a shame they're taking it out on you in such a negative way, but you're right, you don't have to let it affect your life.
Very much this. They are grieving but I'm so sorry it is hurting you, Maria. And you are wonderful and deserve to live your life.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Good for you, Maria. I'm happy to hear you are getting to a positive place. You so deserve it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Maria, that is a big, important thing to understand. Good for you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That is huge, Maria. I'm glad you're not accepting their emotional crap.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Maria, that really is a big realization. You should be proud. I'm sorry they have to be that way.
Glam! How are you? Are you sleeping better?

Hiya, sj! I'm not sleeping better, unfortunately. I have also reached some of the super uncomfortable third-trimester icks much earlier than last time around. Argh! But baby is doing well and that is most important, of course. I hit 30 weeks last Saturday!
How are you doing? I was so happy to hear your good report from the RE! Hope you have quick success, lady!
