Anybody want a friday hug? :hug:

This has been a taxing week mentally, and I'm emotionally tapped out. I need some hugs-- so I'm giving some hugs.

so come and get your free hug! :hug:

7. Yes, please.
Sadly, I think I depleted my supply this week in a couple of threads. Time to stock up. Hug me, no name no slogan! :hi:

It was an alright week for me, but it seemed life really slapped some of my friends around. Yeah, and thanks for the spares. It never hurts to have extra. ;)

11. oh definately!
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

a few extras because you're so darn cute!

I got to see the cats on Wednesday, and they're doing well. The succubus didn't take them to the shelter like she threatened, thankfully. Too bad my camera wasn't working right-- otherwise I'd have new pics. :(

17. oh thanks!
I'm going to pick them up on Monday night after work if I can, and move them to the new place. I'll only have a futon in there, but I'll bring toys and blankets and some of my old clothes so it will at least feel like home.

The new place has a window that faces the street so they'll have something to do in the meantime. I can't wait until I move!

21. It's nothing too bad.
Last week I had my bottom wisdom teeth removed and that hurt like hell. And now my jaw is all stiff and I can only open it halfway. And my car is in the shop with an unknown illness. But none of these things are life changing so it's alright.

:hug: Thanks.

22. OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW
wisdom teeth-- ew. thankfully they knocked me out for mine. i had two impacted so they had to pull out the blasting caps to get them out. liquid food for 72 hours. bleh.

and sorry about the car problems. i know how those go. they are just giant money pits. too bad the public transportation in this country sucks so bad.

here's a couple more, just for insurance purposes
:hug: :pals: :hug:

23. Public Transportation in my city is horrible.
I had to take the bus to school all last week and it is an 1+ hour ride with two transfers. Phew! I have new respect for people who take public transportation all the time.

And wow, sounds like your wisdom tooth removal was just as fun as mine. Mine got infected somehow and the dentist had to put me on super antibiotics and percocet, which made me vomit. Ugh! Thank goodness I don't have to get the top two out. I always hated the gap in my two front teeth, but now, I love it.

39. i hear you there
our solution in minneapolis/st paul is to BUILD MORE HIGHWAYS, which just make things worse :(

thankfully i'm moving to a new place that's only a 10-minute bus ride from the new building we're moving to in september. i really really hate long commutes-- especially if it's going to work! :hi:

36. oh yeah, doing GREAT!
yeah, it's been rough, and dealing with my ex has been difficult, to say the least, but it's all getting better. The new meds are really working, and the fog that i've been in for the last six years is finally clearing up. too bad it took so long to realize it!
