good job talking to your boss, Mari. i hope that irons things out for a while, in terms of preventing unreasonable requests of you.

I hope you are able to catch some rest in too, between work. Sometimes I am too strung out or too exhausted to be able to react fully to something emotionally taxing... it takes me time to process and the reaction sort of evolves and bubbles up. i am sending you some hugs.

Speaking of bubbles thanks for telling me about the chewiness of the bubbles - that sure is interesting. i once had a Vietnamese drink made with beans in the bottom -yes beans. hehe. it was too long ago to remember the other flavors, but i agree, it is weird to chew one's drink.
