Dear FM,

I was on the forum early this AM, and I'm signing off after I write this message to you. I will probably call you later to say good night.

As I read the forum today, I remembered the principle you taught me; the Peter, Paul , Peter principle, and it is so true. And yes I will not use the forum when I am on vacation. I'm making a pact with myself, not with you. I just wish I hadn't given up being a news junky. Maybe, I'll try knitting again, and books on tape. Three weeks is a long time. Since when do they give kids three weeks of vacation.

Holiday Travel preparation:

I already talked to my long time friend, and she is willing to hold/hug me if I need it. I am going to talk to my dad and mom about my dad holding me too. I will also talk to my SIL, and my lil brother if I meet up with him. The asking is the hard part, and I've already asked my friend. And she was quite fine with it, and was not weirded out by the request. I can't wait until this holding need lessons. Yes, I know it has decreased some. Just sometimes, I wish this need that I have never got named.

I'm not feeling guilty any more for all my needs and most of my wants being met in therapy. I know you just responded to a touch thread in your forum, and I'm glad the discussion is happening.

I love you FM.
