    Oof, Mimi. I'm glad to hear he's perking up a little, even if it is a little. ((Hugs))

    LOL!

    Dear self:
    You rocked that last exam. And they didn't. I know you have a bit of "survivor's guilt" over it, but you need to get over that. Sympathize (because you've been there), don't mention your grade unless pressed, and study for the final.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Mimi - as others have said, be sure that during this difficult time you are taking care of YOU. As caregivers (and worriers), we often neglect ourselves and that doesn't help anyone in the long run. Sneak in your own food (don't eat that hospital cr*p) and take a break once in awhile - it's ok, really.

    As much as I worry for Don, I worry for you, too.

    Catrin - that advice goes for you as well as you tend to your mom! I hope all went well.

    And Roxy - you are beautiful - don't forget it!

    Dear Shefly
    Yesterday for the first time all week I cooked. I LOVE cooking !!! no burnt liver style tofu, no undercooked collards with too much red hot peppers in them.
    No mushy rice.

    My sweetie is texting and posted on facebook today for the first time since his surgery!

    That's awesome, Mimi!!!!

    Dear Self:

    Stop buying "control top" tights and retire the ones you currently own. They do nothing but cut into your gut and render you uncomfortable for the entire work day. You'd be better off controling your appetite for ice cream. Okay?
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Mimi.. Happy to hear that he is starting to feel a little better and that you had some time to do some cooking. My thoughts continue to be with you and Don.
