AN: Still on hiatus. I don't have the time to write in order to post on a regular or even semi-regular schedule. Leave me lots of reviews. I had to work with Grumpus today (my nickname cannot be more fitting, seriously) and I'm in an awful mood. Your reviews cheer me up.

Lots of love!

Subject: Thank You

Saying thank you seems insufficient. I got more than eight hours sleep last night for the first time in I don't know how long. It felt so amazing to wake up and feel semi-rested.

I know I was difficult yesterday when you suggested Tía Lucia and Tío Jaime watch Julie last night. I suck at asking for help. Most of the time it just feels wrong, but considering that today is the first day I feel like I can think straight in a long time, I definitely need to consider asking them for help more often. Thank you for making me see that.

And thank you for the dinner, dessert, flowers, and bath goodies. It was nice to be cared for and pampered. It's kind of amazing how good you are at that considering you're in a whole other state.

Thank you for giving me the time to rest and take care of myself. Sometimes I need to be hit over the head with a 2x4 to realize that I need to do that. I trust that you'll do that — figuratively, of course.

See you Friday.

Always,

Steph

P.S. Oh, I forgot to tell you. I decided to skip my Fri. afternoon class and fly up instead of driving. So we'll see you in the afternoon or whenever you're done with work. Julie's excited to see you.
