Carol:
Ergh. I thought I was in love, but I was also nineteen when I got
engaged and thought I was being grown up and independent by getting
married at barely twenty. A big mistake with consequences lasting to
this very day. (As for "spouse," it's one of those generic words that
I hate--"sibling" is another. He was my husband, but I should never
have married him. Enough said as I don't like to talk about my
personal life in a public forum.

procrastinating") will kick in
