Thanks Growlycat and Artemis and CE and Hankster and thanks ALL! Hugs to everyone who wants'm.

She sent me this, and I feel like....... WONDERFUL. Comforted. Connected. All kinds of... soothed and happy.

"Oh Leah, I love being referred to as your mentor. (I'd called her that in a profile someone did on me at graduation.) I really think that is what therapist are, life mentors. [Your interviewer] certainly sounds like a lovely friend.

I am so pleased that you felt, relieved, drained in a good way, after our talk today. Seems you just need your GEM to help you unwind and settle.

I would absolutely love to buy you both dresses, actually. I think you told me they together were about $X. So it seems the simple thing to do is for you to subtract that from the $X you would normally pay next month. Or if you prefer, I can send you the $ through PayPal now. Just let me know.

We are absolutely sorted out for this week. We can talk tomorrow and then again on Thursday if you need. Don't worry about the $ or the time. A little additional graduation present from me. I do have X on Thursday followed by some grocery shopping for the weekend, but we can work out a time if you need/want to.

I hope you have a good night. Talk with you tomorrow."
