That sounds perfect, sj. May your loved ones spoil you as you deserve.
Hi Trudy! Good to hear the move is behind you. What a mess. Of course I have no concrete plans yet, but I will be headed in a NY direction before too long. I am unfortunately delayed by a big 70th b'day party for my MIL. I love her and she deserves to be surrounded by family and friends, but her birthday is July 14th and I really thought I would be up north by then. And it isn't like I could leave a couple days before, so after it is.
Oh, sj, i can't see how you think you are possibly being whiny. All good thoughts to you, my dear.
Trudy! Glad you are all moved! What a PITA -- ugh. I hates it.
Yay, Trudy! Moving is hard. I hope you were able to do nothing but relax tonight.
Strix, mostly because I am sick of myself at this point, so I assume everyone else is sick of me too.
Tea:
Strix, good luck with your move! I know this must have been a difficult decision for you.
{{{{Strix}}}} I'm sorry the move is so upsetting. I moved a lot when I was married to DH#1. A lot. First we moved to Philly which I was excited to do after living in a small city all my life. Then a year later when it was time to move again I was very upset, resentful to put it mildly, as I loved Philly. Then I learned to love Norfolk and made a ton of great friends. And a couple years later it was time to move again and I was not at all pleased. Etc. Etc. too many times
This is so not about me! I hope that you learn to love PA. It is a very pretty area and in striking distance to NYC and Philly too. I have an old friend that lives in Allentown and hope to visit with him on my way back south this year. New adventures! New chapters!
Please rest your head on my virtual shoulder and let me pet you gently and assure you that you will be okay. I more than understand the tears and offer a big plaid man hanky like my dad used to keep in his pocket.
sj, much love to you and TCG. I hope the universe backs off soon.
Strix, I'm sorry about the uprooting and the need to move. I hope everything ends up okay.
thanks so much, all, so very much
{{{Strix}}}
And so much punctuation to sj, just so very much.
Thinking of you, sj.
Remember, Strix, no matter where you go, we'll be here.
Spent the day engaged in a rigorous program of Tylenol, rest, and orange Pellegrinos. Will probably do likewise tomorrow. I'm too old for this shit!
Strixy, I know this is hard for you - but I'm damn excited that you're going to be a 90 minute bus ride away from me. :)
