Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words. They mean a lot. (It always helps to know that someone else is listening, even if I *should* be able to do it all by myself.)

Also, I think it's great that you've been working on the self-love and non-self-abuse (okay, somehow both of those terms sound vaguely dirty, but I don't mean them that way ;-). Taking that stress off of yourself must have some commensurate health benefits, I'd think. We're here whenever you're settled in/down and things have evened out for you, and if there's anything I can do to help in the meanwhile, please don't hesitate to ask.
