I WAS sleeping. Now I am awake. 9:45 is a very good time to get up, yes? I think so too.

Other than that, I'm sorry you're feeling hurt today. It was really crappy of that person to say that to you. Sometimes things are crappy. And you know that it's really that person holding a mirror up to you and really just seeing their own reflection and responding to that (sort of like I was yesterday), but really there is no excuse, and I know that doesn't make it hurt any less. So, you are allowed to feel hurt and sad and upset about what that stupid person said to you. That's "real", apparently. (You and Paul are ridiculous in your worship of authenticity, but I love y'all anyway - also, I love saying y'all, although you know I have never been to any other southern state in my life.)

I will see you in a few minutes.

Also, note how you end most of your posts. I was going to sign off that way too, but then checked myself. I do have a filter.
