> No need to feel bad. I'm not your charge.
Oh my- that would be pretty funny. Li as the guardian of Elaine. I think the only thing I am capable of, in terms of caregiving is to make the occasional ice cream run. Maybe when I'm feeling incredibly energetic a load of laundry would be washed, but probably not dried. lol. Our place would be a pig-sty!! I try my hardest to reserve my mental powers for my student-activities, and for the daily conversation with husband and/or T. Other than that- there's only leftovers.
>And I know you well enough know that you care about many people here, and write what you can, when you can. I always appreciate everything others write, everything you write, but I wouldn't want it to ever feel like a chore or obligation.
Aww- it's never an obligation. It's an opportunity. I don't know why, but thinking about other people's problems and different ways to tackle a conundrum seems to pull me out of my introspection and make me feel somewhat human. Plus, I get e-mails to check on my threads, and I find a way to pass the time. the tick-tock, you know?
> Sometimes it takes me awhile to respond (and I'm not even going to parties). Was it any fun at all?
Well, it was okay. I went to a halloween party with me and a dozen of my husband's colleagues and spouses. Husband was a whore. I was a sheriff, so aside from feeling kind of out of sorts and manly, well, it was okay. I ate a lot of candy corn, and I drank 2 beers, which is not exactly on pdoc's menu, but c'mon. It's been over a month since my last drink. And we played board games. Fortunately, I never had to do anything embarrassing, like a charade for "low-rider". I kind of kept a cheerful face on. I'm good at that.
