Sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Hope you're feeling better.

Great! I bet they are. Accomplishing something (especially something one's promised the littles) can be so satisfying.

Like, "Where are you spending your time?" So now you know she doesn't even want to be your friend right now, can't, hasn't had enough space (I add that last one on my own, but I think it's true). I wonder what it was that made this click for you this time. Whatever it was, good.

Hello, anger! Is this new, Heim? Have you not been angry sometime since this started? I'm asking because I wonder whether it's also part of you moving forward.
