Thanks for the boost, tbone – and the compliment. I’m not doing so bad, really. We all have our down times, and this is one of mine. The nature of the crisis is such that it isn’t too hard on W, but her parents (esp. her father) need her support. But, you’re right about one thing. I always have to be ready to be positive.
I’m half way through my cycle course, and am still having a lot of difficulties. It’s really precision stuff. Touch the lines, and you lose 3 points… So, I’m gonna sweat it. Can’t help it. But, even if I flunk the first time around, there’s always tomorrow (or in this case 14 days later – that’s the min. waiting period for re-test).
On the bright side, W called me twice today. She always knows when I’m out of sorts. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. The downside is when I’m trying to project PMA. I often fail at this. The upside is that sometimes, she shows compassion, and that’s something I want from her. Not pity, but compassion and consideration.
