I took a long, long break.

[L Verge]

I perked up when I saw you posting again. You had hinted at your private struggles in an email with me months ago, but I had no idea how awful things have been. I have a lot of Scotch in me also (not the liquid kind - can't stand the taste!), and we lassies do tend to take care of ourselves. An old boyfriend once told me that he admired me because I never got myself into something I couldn't get out of. Shortly thereafter, I got out of our engagement.

My hand is stretched across the miles in support and my prayers are offered for a speedy exit out of your many troubles.
