Thanks for sending me your paper -- I will read it...when I read it. (I'm excited about it, but things take on an unpredictable pace when I'm at home with lots of unstructured time on my hands.)

Thank you also for the necklace, which, happily enough, was waiting for me when I arrived home last night! It's lovely, and you're right, it's very me. I'll definitely wear it. Thanks so much for making one of my wishes come true. :) Love you.

I am so glad you like the necklace. (And yay for gifts on arrival!)

And no rush on the paper.

Love you too.
