Grr on life right now. Back at work on an actually nice trip with a nice crew. Always good but the rest of life is being difficult. Don't continue reading if you don't want to read venting

Why do you not have lotion for your hands?

How horrible about the break-in. I wouldn't want to be home after that, either. I hope that it's just a fluke.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I love you, and I'm praying for you. You are beautiful and talented and amazing, and any thoughts that are denying those facts have no business deriding your self-confidence. I have several huge hugs for you; you'll have to imagine them until I can administer them in person. Soon, though, yes? Quite soon.

P.S. I apologize for interrupting your venting with self-concern, but when do you find out about your requested vacation time?

[mer_lowe]

Today when I get back to Portland. So sometime this evening. At least that was what I was told. I checked on DFW-SEA flights for the 24th yesterday. Loads are good for the 7 sometime AM and the 5 PM. Have you called to list yet? Is the 5 PM on the 24th still the flight you are planning to take?

[faeriemere]

Cool. Yes, I called to list this morning; and yes, for flight 809 at 5:58 pm. I'm glad the load still looks good; I'd rather not be stuck in DFW overnight.

OK, this is official mother worry. Do you need to come home for a while? We're here and there's room. I know you won't but you need to know that you always can. I love you, Mom

Mom you do not have a house.

I sorta have a house. Floors and walls count and can be made to do. I even have a washer and dryer now.

I'm sorry you've been having a difficult time.

Yeah, that break-in would've freaked me out. And not sleeping well is never fun; I feel for you.

Praying for you. About that stuff and your hands and so on.

If, somehow, you do end up down in CA that weekend Pua mentioned, you are more than welcome to my party. I would love to see you.

Thank you very much. Today is better. I am wondering what tomorrow will be like when I head home.

I will probably be coming down to CA but will have to leave by Saturday afternoon as I work on Sunday. Though if I do make it we should grab some tea or something.

Hey we have a couch. It's lumpy and the color may give you more night mares but there is tea and chocolate. I would even put medicinal yarn on the owies. :)
