get this- my mother called me about four hours after our "visit" from hell (scream fest) and apologized. i was/am speechless. she has never ever in 61 years been a person to acknowledge her part and say "sorry". i apologized too because i was ratty and thanked her for her apology. i have no idea what to think-

i don't even want to say it might be a hopeful sign. i am trying not to think in terms of hope anymore.

people sure can batter you around can't they? i can't believe i'm sayin cheezy stuff like not thinking "hope" anymore. i feel pretty scabbed over and not wanting to get anywhere near anyone anymore. lot of "any"s huh? can you say "raw"???

i'm outta here- hope your day went okay- now, another long lonely nite - oh mannnnnnnn........i know, don't think about it-
