Anyhow, I pulled myself together. H doesn't like when I'm sick so he wandered off. I e-mailed T and told him I am lonely. He FINALLY e-mailed me back tonight and asked if I wanted him to call me on his way in to work tomorrow. He is going to call at 9:30 and I told him I would answer if I can talk then, and if not, could he please leave a message.

So.

I am SUCH a baby. I just want tomorrow to be here and everything to be okay.
You are not a baby, Tree....It's hard to feel the right to have needs - and to reach out for others....When we depend on ourselves and only ourselves for SO LONG, it's hard to let go of that total independence. It is human and absolutely OK to have needs...to need support, to need love, to need caring, to need someone by your side. And it takes courage and strength to do exactly what you're doing - reaching out to get your needs met.

(((( HUGS ))))....You are in my thoughts today and tomorrow. Please post an update when you can, ok?
