So I at least get to leave a little early 8)

Pausing before giving the hug, made it feel "right."

Arsene, thanks for compliment, and my kids keep me going for me. 8)

Tori, no known appts with IC yet. Per a previous post, I wouldn't try to schedule for her, but do what I can to make sure she can freely go keep appts. The IC she selected from my short list specializes with victims of abuse (approx 15yrs of experience i think she said); and encourages her patients to "don't do anything drastic" = don't just divorce.

Also, I stumbled upon a new improved list of links from Cadet in the MLC section that i'm "researching" in order to better make my POA. The big difficulty seems to be digesting / processing / putting it all together. "Piecing it for myself" 8)

Hope all is well
