Why even have her in your home? It seems as if this girl makes trouble wherever she goes. She has already given you a great deal of stress, and she has not even arrived yet. With your health as delicate as it is, and your husband being in the process of working through an episode of depression, having her live (or visit) with you seems like a really bad idea.

Anyway, just my two cents worth.

I have been dying to ask you about your assignment for the Lovedraughts ficathon. Will you share with me what your challenge is, and give some hints as to what you will be writing about?
