thanks bug. yesterday was a good day. should be enough to last me through the crappy ones until the next good day comes. i have realized im the most happy when im doing the family thing. it may be a broken family, but its what i have and it works. not perfect, but really good. days like that get me dreaming things again. dreaming of a real family and all that. plus my friend got married in vegas last night and i watched the wedding last night online. just those sad reminders of what could have been. oh well. my life is what it is and im suprisingly ok with it.
