• July 9th!

  Well, it's Meleia's 14th birthday.  She's not here, she's in MN.  Phooey.

  BUT, my friend, Anne, is in labor, so it looks like her baby girl may share a birthday with my baby girl.  Meleia and Anne have a special friendship, so that would be very cool.

  Just so you know, I'm feeling a bit better.  We've figured out that I truly need nurturing when I'm blue.  Not just someone else who is sad.  Not someone who asks every 4 hours if I need water.  I need nurturing.  That can consist of something as simple as sitting on the couch working while I sit in the chair working.  But I need that.  And last week, I didn't get it.  With the exception of one day that Paul's dad spent about 4 hours sitting on Paul's side of the bed watching mindless court TV shows with me while I worked.  So. That's that.  That's something that I need.  A huge turning point in the week was when Maureen came over on Thursday night and just spent 2 or 3 hours with me.  Not really doing anything, in fact, we were watching TV and just chatting.  But it made a difference.

  So this week, several friends are coming over to just be some quiet companionship on days that I'm not in the office.
