I'm dead to me!!!

First, to the wonderful person who sent me a chocolate scented box of encouragement, thank you a million times. You wouldn't believe how much it helped me. I looked at it a lot since you sent it--a *whole* lot!! Every time I got too drippy and snotty, I'd take a look at my chocolates, and my frosty glass of foamy root beer and my roses and feel loved.

As soon as I recover from my trauma, I’ll see if I can get Ripley on track again. Thank you, patient people!
