I'm a writer now. I mean, that's what I do for a living so I should be better about it. But the truth is, I get home from work and the last thing I really want to do is touch a computer. I rarely open mine unless I'm paying bills or doing something particularly computer-specific ( Read more... )

ANDRA!!! I am your EBFF and please know you can talk to me ANY TIME. I know in the past I don't know what to say so I answer with a lot of "i'm sorry" or "that's horrible" or something along those lines. But please understand those are not dismissive "i'm only partially listening" responses. They are the only responses I know how to give because I haven't been in that situation so I can't offer much more. PLEASE talk to me about your stresses and vent to me! I'm here for you all the time, any time you need.

Ugh, I commented this morning and LJ ate it. I think I said something like, I'm glad that you updated about this because I've been wondering how she was doing, and I'm glad that you have this job you like so much. It seems like you're really good at it and it makes you happy.
