Thank you, EskieLover and Myzen, for taking the time to write such long notes that shared things that are so authentic and meaningful about your inner selves and values and experiences. And I thank Ozzie, CandyBear, Myzen, Eskie and Shakes for all of your kind words.

Today, I have a hint that maybe my roommate situation isn't going to work out. I have a feeling that neither one of us really wants to have a roommate, so there is very subtle push-pull going on. If I have to move to a motel with high-speed internet so I can finish the freelance assignment, it will be expensive.

The uncertainty of all this has my nerves leaping around like jumping beans. So your kind words mean a lot -- a rope to hold onto as my ship passes over stormy seas. Thank you, all. I luv youse guys.
