Dear AH

[sadangel]

Thanks a lot hon.

The situation has gotten much better. It was something I just really didn't want to bring to the board when it was really bad. I wasn't a really social person during that time either. Still, the hugs are very much appreciated.

How are you doing? I'm glad to see you around again, I hope your situation has gotten better.

Glad you like the hugs. *Have a few more--hugs*

I'm doing well. Left the abusive situation, have my own place. A few other things are really good too. *smiles softly*

 

[Verdad]

Welcome back, Jen. Awww for the kitty. What a beauty!

 

[TheeGoatPig]

That cat looks like a real sweety. *hugs* Glad to hear things are mostly getting better. I hope the car situation sorts itself out soon, so that you can go on a long drive one day and stumble on a lot of money

 

[Guest]

Welcome back!

Love your kitty, think having a cat is a marvelous idea!

Kisses and hugs and strength to you, gorgeous one.

Hi jen! Good to see you.

Ahah, I love his expression. "These are my bewb pillows, get your own."

 

[rgraham666]

Hi jen. Sorry to hear about your travails.

Sending *HUGS* and positive vibes your way.

 

[fieryjen]

Hi, Jen, and sorry about all your hassles. A kitten can be a big help in keeping your sanity, and he is a cutie. He has a nice looking bed too.

Well thank you. He really seems to like using my boobs for a pillow. My husband seems torn between being disgruntled about having to share and admitting the kitten's got good taste.

 

[fieryjen]

There's nothing better than a purring kitten to make you feel better. Okay, there is, but that's another thread...

I'm sending good thoughts your way.

A from the good little witch.

Thank you so much Glynndah. The good thoughts are very much appreciated. I hope you're well.

 

[DesertPirate]

I have this odd notion that I'd like to be a cat all of a sudden. I wonder why that is?

You and every other male on this site!

Welcome back Jen! *Hugs*

 

[Emperor_Nero]

Welcome back Jen and glad to here things are starting to get better for you

We've missed you

 

[fieryjen]

Big hugs, Jen. I hear you on the GAD problems.

Adopting a kitten is a very good thing. Kittens will help with depression and general life stress, even if it's only cuddling up with them when they're asleep. There's a complete unconditionality about their love that is like little else.

So true. So far it's been most helpful just having another presence around, to help me not feel quite as alone.

Thank you for the hugs, as well.

 

[fieryjen]

Welcome back Jen and I hope the future is much brighter.

Thank you so very much Good to see you again.

 

[fieryjen]

Feel luck he doesn't expect to be between you and the screen when you're checking the e-mail. All of those jokes of going through life looking at a computer screen between the ears of a cat are true. Your cat will soon learn that.

My keyboard is on a sliding tray and I think hes a bit scared of that. Doesn't appreciate it when the solid-looking ground beneath his paws suddenly moves, I suppose.

 

[fieryjen]

You are obviously a strong person, Jen. Fighting through an anxiety attack all alone takes nerve. Not many can do it. Glad to see you are better.

Thank you so much. I hope you are well too.

Not sure this means I am a strong person - there just wasn't another choice for me than to fight through it, really. But I do appreciate the sentiment.

 

[fieryjen]

Glad to have you back, sugar. You were missed.

Thank you Mr Bear

I missed you all too.

 

[fieryjen]

That's true and if, instead of the computer, you decide to read a book or newspaper aor anything else, he will decide that on top of the printed matter is a perfect place for a kitty to lie down and curl up.

He already does do that whenever I try to do Sudoku

"Whatcha doing? Pay attention to me instead! Much better use of your time."

 

[elfin_odalisque]

When I try a sudoku online, Tigger comes and walks all over the keyboard. Unlike dogs, cats are the master race. "food. now, slave", "now stroke."

I'm coming back in the next life as a pampered cat.

Great to see you again Jen.

 

[jomar]

Cool cat. Love the bed you got for him.

 

[neonlyte]

Hi Sweet Thing. You're one of the beautiful people in my book. Good to see you around again

 

[Selena_Kitt]

I want to apologize for not having been around lately without ever really announcing my absence. Life's been a little bumpy. The huge event I had to plan and execute at the beginning of June went well, but soon after that, my G.A.D. suddenly got much, much worse, to the point where I couldn't function anymore. I had episodes of anxiety that lasted for days. I did little but sit and shake with fear, feeling paralyzed, my chest so tight that I was convinced I was going to have a heart attack. I refused to go to sleep for several days because I was too afraid that I wouldn't wake up again. I'm finally on two different medications now, and things seem to be getting better, though the anxiety isn't completely gone.

In other news, my car died. A piston blew a fist-sized hole into the wall of the engine block while I was driving on the interstate. Obviously this isn't helping our financial situation any.

And we adopted a kitten. Since the my anxiety is worst in the evenings, when the husband is at work, we decided some company might be the thing for me. So far the little guy seems to be happy here.

Just figured it was about time to say hi again.

Good to see you.

 

[Saucy_Sage]

If anyone's curious, this is Pollux. Currently he's curled up on the stack of towels next to my desk.

That's a fine lookin' stack o' towels you got there.

Welcome back to the funhouse. Hope everything keeps getting better.

 

[MagicaPractica]

Good to see you! Animals are wonderful at boosting our sanity.

 

[fieryjen]

*hugs*

I haven't been around much lately either and never said anything...I think most here understand that things go on and things happen and we may not always be able to say that we're going to be out for awhile. You take care of you. That's what matters.

And I want to meet your kitten at some point.

Thanks muchly, hon.

Yes, we definitely need to arrange that. The kitten is very much looking forward to meeting all the crazy people I've been talking about.

 

[Austin8]

good to see you back Jen meow

 

[Belegon]

Hi doll. Welcome back.

Cute kitty.
