Even the stress of your situation, which was palpable, your writing always delivers to me a gentleness and an invitation. Someone must be around the corner for you, I can't fathom that men don't feel a magnetic pull.

And about the car! Oi! We are in a PICKLE with ours and trying to get a new one is beyond unreasonable. Used car prices are insane, like home prices, they don't make logical sense. The car we have is being shipped out today and we have yet to replace it. Stress!
