I need a hug.
My grandma has been in and out of the hospital for over a week with chest pains. Turns out she has blood clots in her lungs. And I can't be with her because she lives 1500 miles away.

My mom had a breast biopsy last week. The tests were fine, but I'm still rather freaked out about it. Really want to give her a hug, but again, she's 1500 miles away.

Work is, to say the least, INSANE...and not in a good way.

I had a really nasty cold all weekend.

It's almost 10:30 on Sunday night and I just finished working...and I'm nowhere near ready for tomorrow, but I just can't work any more tonight.

And...I could go on, but that's enough of my blathering.

Let's just say that I could really use a hug.

:cry:

5. How is Monday?
I could definitely use a heads-up, so what should I expect from it? ;)

Thank you, Heidi. :hug:

9. Oh, it's gorgeous!
I still don't know if my Excellent European Adventure (coming to a country near you, Summer 2007) is going to include Switzerland...

But if it does, I am *SO* stopping by to see that view in person! ;)

:hug:

6. You know...
I've been dealing with everything just fine all week...I guess I just hit an emotional wall or something.

Honestly, I've lived here for a year and can count on one hand the number of times I've been homesick. For some reason, tonight is one of those times.

I guess the good thing about being so busy is that by tomorrow I won't have time to think about it anymore. :silly:

I do know you're here for me, and I appreciate that...more than you know...

:hug: :loveya:

16. Ooh...ginger, eh?
I'll have to try that. I've gone through insane amounts of "Airborne"...and, I don't know, I guess it's helping... :shrug:

Thanks for the :hug: ...oddly, virtual hugs really do work!
