Spring: Also, one for Shan: For comic relief: This is a couple of weeks old; she's much more stable now. Extremely cute. She will be running around and hard to catch in no time. I like how she is so diligent, trying again and again. Sounds like she is really trying to talk, too.

Had strange dream that I logged into the S3 and saw that my old OSU friend, Jeff, had joined and posted something. He had this sketch of himself, with a big grin on his face, as his avatar.
I was at work and got distracted from the screen, and when I looked again, he had posted again. I kept trying to see what Jeff had posted, but kept getting interrupted.
I was happy about it in one way, but worried in another. He is fun and I thought he'd be a fun addition to the S3. But I tried to remember if I'd ever posted anything about him or anything about myself that I really didn't want to share with him.
Finally, I saw that a "second shift" of people were coming in (we don't actually have a second shift here), and I had to get off the computer in a hurry and had to leave with seeing how Jeff had found the S3, and what he had posted here.

My, Tricia Helfer is tall. Also scarey, or good at pretending to be scarey. Julia, "Lie to Me" I love that show. Haven't watched this week's yet.

I voted again. Where can you tell how the vote is going? I didn't see where you could get a reading of the poll results. It looks like they are making us wait until Dec 13 for the results. Huh. I am the same age as TV Guide.

What part of the rhinoceros were you expecting, exactly? And yes, I voted. Again. You're welcome. Ask MishaJulia, dangerous man, that one. Good thing he's used his powers for mostly good, so far. ;D

Straight from the Wichita Wesley hospital, this is your intrepid Vlad, vamp on the scene, bedside, to report in for Shan, currently waylaid in a bed. Sporting a scar worthy of Season 4 Wesley... hmmm is there coincidence there or WHAT?... she has this to say to you all: "Hi, I am fine" The voice is slightly raspy and is accompanied by a rather cute princess wave and wan smile. The charming effect of which is slightly mitigated by the beta-dyne that is slathered from her jowls to her sternum. Another ounce or so would have Rep. Minority Leader John Boehner envious. And I am here to say that she is indeed fine and should be quickly back to normal. Vlad Good news! So if she's S4 Wesley, does that make you Lilah?

People who work for TV Guide are reporting the standings on Twitter every once in a while. Oh! Well, let us know how it is going. I didn't manage to read the whole email from children's services before this morning's meetings, but allowed myself to glance quickly at it, where I saw the words, "if you want to proceed," and something about the home inspection, which was enough for me right then. I am guessing she is responding that I have to get lined up for home inspection, but I'm worried on that score (which she knows) because the boy turns 18 in Jan, and I don't think I can be ready for Jan. Of course, she may have addressed that in the email. How can I know if I don't read it? I can't know, can I? I am just so scared there is something preclusive or horribly disappointing in it. Also, I am scared that there is something very encouraging in it, and before I know it, the boy will be in my home and then . . . OK. Alright. I know! I am being ridiculuous. However, I have made progress. Teeny, tiny, teeny progress. But progress. Thanks for your indulgences, Squeemonster and Company. Word of the day: Gachnar!

OK, all joking aside S'cubies . . . I am having like a mini-crisis here. I sent an inquiry to the local children's service office about a particular child, and I see I have a response in my email but I just cannot make myself open it. I just can't even look at it. I don't know. I am so scared to open it. I don't know. I am scared of a negative response, and I am scared of a positive response. The child is a teenage boy whose description showed a lot of interests in common with my son, so I have all this stuff . . . chess sets, drawing stuff, and more. So I thought, I will send an email and inquire about taking further steps to learn more and so I did that. But now, I don't want to open the email. I am feeling . . . scared. If there is a negative response, it will make me cry. If there is a positive response, that will make me cry too. Let's see, I am trying to figure this out as I type, so bear with me. I am feeling . . . scared of pain. No matter what, no matter what the email says, it is going to hurt like HELL. Alright then. So I don't want to open the email. It reminds me of when I sent my son's ex-gf a package with some of their former correspondence, a picture, and some artwork . . . she had asked me to send her the items after she learned of Vince's death. And then she emailed me that she had had the package for several days but had not opened it yet. And I remember how that struck me - how surprised I was that she still had such intense feelings, given the many years that they had not communicated in probably 8 yrs or so. But of course, that's what I knew - she couldn't open that package because along with the joys, there was going to be pain and plenty of it. Oh, man. Maybe I will manage to open the email at home tonight. I don't see my counselor until Wed, and I can imagine opening it with him around, but that is Wed evening. There is no one else I can imagine opening it with. But I hate to wait that long - I don't want children's services to think I'm casual on this. I . . . . oh, man. OK. Well, rambly, I know. Am just trying to help myself out here. S3 board: Good for what ails you. But I still can't open it. Will get some dinner and maybe a glass of wine? I must be out of my mind? OK. OK. OK. Go home. Have dinner. Maybe glass of wine. Take some deep breaths. If you can't open it yet, no biggie. Do it when you can. It is what it is. The sky will not fall. The sky never falls. My first reaction--and this might seem unhelpful--is: I wish Jan was here to respond to this. She would know just what to say. When she was here, I knew that, whenever anyone was going through something, I didn't really have to think about saying the right thing, because I was confident that Jan would post just the right advice or words of wisdom. Spring, you share many of the same qualities as Jan. Though I know that it isn't quite so easy to give advice to yourself as it is to others. But, scratch that, I see that you did decide to open it right before a meeting. Excellent advice to yourself! I also think what others have posted here is very good. Maybe we have all learned a little bit from Jan. Or maybe folks on this board are just naturally that wise. I'm giving you virtual hugs, and wish you all the strength and wisdom you'll need to get you through this.
