Erin- At 45 years old, I never thought I'd be acting this way. All of this has turned me into a freaking 13 year old sometimes. I usually can put my big girl panties on and do well....just today was kinda the ending to it all, and the sheer bluntness and utter contempt for me took me off guard. I want to be where you are sooner rather than later.

Dazed- on the fence about the cat (although I truly adore the little fella) Just don't know if I want to be strapped with his cat.......gotta think about that one. I'm a sucker for pussycats though!

Alicea - support from this room will certainly speed up the process, and make this situation easier. Thanks so much.
