We're all suffering, but it does hit me hard... I am the sort of person who needs solitude. I need time away from everyone else, especially to work, and right now I cannot get that. It's like being a child again, with no control over my life.

With what we've gone over in class tonight, I think the assignment will only take between 2 and 5 hours. I can do that, I think. I can bar the door and turn on very loud music for that amount of time...

Sigh. My mother is very sympathetic, but she's not yet to the point of yelling and screaming at my grandmother, and I fear that's what it will take.

Well, you have our sympathies. And hopefully you can get this thing out tonight.

I'm with you on the solitude part. If I don't get it I become someone no one wants to be around.

Myranda and I are very blessed in that both of us are of the same temperament in that way. Therefore, neither of us gets our feelings hurt when the other just comes home and goes to her room. Yesterday we spend about 4 hours on opposite ends of the couch reading and never said anything to each other. And we liked it. That was our "together time." ha ha
