Well...thank you, Labrat.

that was a very nice thing to say.
When I'm not on campus/class, I'm usually here at home-pretending to study. (actually, I do study a lot and put a lot of work into my papers--I feel blessed to have this chance and though I may sound flippant about it-I recognize it for the opportunity that it is)
Or, I'm fighting with my 15 year-old son--he's becoming quite a handful--not juvenile delinquent-wise, but just lazy, disrespectful and annoying-wise.
So--not much time to socialize. I also really worry about bringing a man into the picture while my son is so fragile (he suffered a breakdown Aug. 05--psychotic depression that took a year of meds to overcome) and so dependent on me--a fling here or there or crushes/love with unavailable men seems very safe...see? all my pathology laid out! But, I do get lonely and wish there was someone special around. Oh, well. maybe in a few years when Danny is in college..?
