Sometimes when I stay away from SG for a while, I forget just how much I don't need it. Yep.

When thou sigh'st, thou sigh'st not wind,
But sigh'st my soul away;
When thou weep'st, unkindly kind,
My life's blood doth decay.
It cannot be
That thou lov'st me, as thou say'st,
If in thine my life thou waste,
That art the best of me.

I get to find these beautiful, sad little...

School orientation is tomorrow. I'm pretty excited, but not sure how much of it applies to me. It looks like a lot of "how to survive being away from your parents for the first time" and "how to adult for college purposes." Seeing as I'm old enough to have college-aged kids and am technically retired, I just don't know about this part. It's cool that...

I've never actually done one of these homework assignments from @missy, @rambo, and @lyxzen, but seeing as I'm going back to school soon, now seems like a good time to start. I know I've told most of this story before, but it fits the assignment so well, I feel like I should tell it again.

Great job getting through all that. I can't imagine what it would be like to have open heart surgery as an adult. Thankful my condition was known at birth and my parents made the decision for me to have mine at 2 years. I sometimes wonder if there is a connection between heart conditions and depression or anxiety

@sweetjess87 I'm just glad my surgery went the way it did.  I didn't have any time to think about it, because it was so spontaneous.  I think you're right about the depression/anxiety point.  Something about a broken heart, or would that be too poetic?
