Communications & Delays

[the_rck]

I notice that I'm breaking up my entries differently here than on OD. I'm trying for shorter stuff here so as not to drop anything huge in the middle of someone's listing of entries; I'm not sure why that matters to me, but apparently it does. This is not to say that I'm not posting the same stuff here as on OD, just that I'm subdividing it a little further.

My cousin, Christine, is getting married in a week and a half. We won't be going because it's much too far, but I'm glad she bothered to invite us. We got the invitation after the date she wanted our answer (I'm estimating that the USPS is taking about twice as long to deliver things now as they used to), and I didn't notice and so sat on it for a little bit. I just sent my response today and am comforting myself with the assumption that she wasn't expecting us to attend anyway. I've written her a letter that'll go out tomorrow.

She's a year or two younger than my sister Laura. I haven't seen her since my sister's wedding reception a few years back, and we counted ourselves as lucky that she was able to come. I think I have an e-mail address for her, but I've never tried using it. Laura and I spent quite a bit of time with her and her younger sister when we were all children, but that was before high school. I have no idea what Christine's like now except that she apparently has taken her family's conversion to Mormonism more seriously than, I think, my Uncle Bill did.

I need to spend some time tonight on a homework assignment for my psychotherapy appointment tomorrow. I don't remember exactly what I'm supposed to be writing about (and yes, I'm putting it off right at the moment), but I'll put something together tonight. I suspect that my therapist will be happy with whatever I can pull together. I do remember that whatever I'm supposed to be writing has something to do with my memories of my childhood and my mother (God, that sounds cliched).

Not doing my commenting yet, but just re not wanting to hit people with long entries, you can use <lj-cut> for that. It hides everything below the tag until someone clicks to read the whole entry, and you can use the "text" attribute to customise the click-to-read message.

Just FYI; apologies if you knew all that already.

I knew there was a way to do it; I simply didn't know how or even where to look to find out. Being fairly lazy (and having troubles connecting here), I've not wanted to search for the solution. Once I learn how to do something, I'm fine, but I hate the learning process sometimes...

I for one am just glad to see stuff from you!
