to quote a post on the relationships board (posted by none other than myself)
"And I'm not talking about bras either.
I'm just too weary to support online. I feel I do lots of heavy lifting offline, and it's wearing me out.
sorry if I seem indifferent."
I just wanted to let you know that I think you are all special, wonderful and important, even though I am having trouble expressing that sometimes. I still read, but seem to be having trouble processing mournful emotions. They remind me of a recent loss. I am just avoiding painful things altogether.

It's ok Llurspie, I know the feeling. I haven't been too great either as I am in a slump too. Too many things in my head I can't shut up.
No worries, just try to feel better :)

It's important to express that, Noodle, and I"m glad you let us know.
I'm sorry that you've experienced such a big loss and that you're having trouble with it. This is a tough place, for all of us, and we can only do what we can do.
I hope you're enjoying some of Washington-- I'm sure you'll do great when you give the talk-- it's nerve-wracking, I know-- but once you start to speak, you'll be fine.
Remember-- it's just a bunch of people you're talking to--- not voracious monsters. Right?

Llurpsie,
Take care of yourself. Take as much time as you need to mourn your loss. I've seen you offer support to many. Take all the time you need to do what you need to do to feel better. We can't all be supportive all the time. Take a break. Relax. Come back when you're ready. ((((Llurpsie)))) HUGS

i respect babblers and babble, so I worry that my absence (if anybody notices at all) might be misinterpreted.

This is a tough place, for all of us, and we can only do what we can do.I hope I can feel more at home with it soon. Make it feel more natural. I miss kitty dearly. I'm getting a new kitty, but I'm going home today and I will walk in the door and not be greeted by my handsome kitty. :( :'( feeling fragile right now.

>yeah, we had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the restaurants, and the hotel. We went to a museum, and saw a lot of the sites, from far and near.
It was nerve-wracking, but jammer gave me 20mg of propanolol and my autonomic nervous system refused to budge. no thumping heart, no clammy hands. all was well. I stuck to the script, and my timing was fine. This is more than I can say for Oliver Sacks.

>the pdocs seemed most interested. it was nice to have people interested in the things that ll does.
Thank you Nad,
