Thanks, Grace and PA

Last night I attended the most uncomfortable company Xmass party I have ever been too. The person who refused to be our MC was there. I begged Igal to let me stay home but he insisted that it would make things look worse than they were if I did not show. UGH! I was really quite bummed about the whole affair. Not so much that we were refused, but the manner in which we were refused. It was IMO a tad harsh.

I phoned my stepmother this morning and vented. She was very encouraging, and basically said that I am doing a good thing and not to let the bastards get me down. I felt better for having spoken to her.

My father called me about an hour later. He told me that he was very proud of me and that I am doing a very good thing. It chokes me up even now writing about it.

Thanks guys, I needed that.
