amyth, you are a force. That you kept moving forward however you could and then went back and finished - that is a testament to your strength. all the love to you.
I am fighting off the sick -- i've been running so fast all fall that I failed to let it catch up to me until now. Took two days off to play games with HPF and DH and wham. But still heading over to dinner with parents and parents' Fox News Broadcast.
Hugs to this board and gratitude for you, you are an important part of my family and if I had arms long enough I'd hug you all except if you don't hug and then I'd look at you fondly.
Thanks, everyone, so much. I should've posted about this ages ago, because y'all are so wonderful, always. But it took me so long to get to a place where I felt okay about it, and then it was A Thing, where it felt like it happened too long ago--hey, guess what? I never told you all these years...
Anyway, much love. I'm so grateful for all of you.
And props to brenda and tommy and -t and Kate and everyone else who had rough times as well in college, and found their way, one way or another. ::fist bump:: Here we all are, at any rate! I agree that the traditional four-year path that's smooth sailing is often NSM.
meara, I hope Kat finds her way, somehow, too.
Typo, hope you're OK.
And now I have to get out of my pajamas, finally, and go get ready to have dinner with Scola, which is another thing to be grateful for. Woot!
My dear amyth, thank you for sharing that with us. Please know that I like and care about you and respect you and love you. This thing in your past does not change that. I feel sad that you carried that burden by yourself for so long, and I am glad that you were able to turn things around. Mad props to you for that.
Matilda is drawing. Emmett is sleeping. JZ went to work to print something out. EM is on the way. And I am *not* wrapping at the moment like I ought to.
But...Charlie Brown Christmas sdtrk is playing, and I've got coffee. So. This'll do.
It's very slow here at work. My co-workers are entertaining themselves with geek smack talk. I do like having geeks around me.
Timelies all!
Hugs to all.
We are at the airport a couple hours early.
We are watching A New Hope now and have tickets for The Force Awakens this evening. Might get in Empire Strikes Back before we have to leave. Had hoped to get through episodes iv, v, and vi but didn't start early enough.
Apparently four days and the start of a cold is what it takes for me to be Over the holidays and being in my sisters house and dealing with a four year old. Ugh. Just want to be home, in my own uncluttered clean house with nice pillows and Netflix and a comfy couch...I might be extra cranky because of the "getting sick" part.
I've posted this before, but I love it so. Let's call it a holiday tradition, and my gift to you. I love you all.
