lol, don't feel bad about it. I would feel the same way, if I were in your place. That is one hell of a situation you're dealing with. And now that you're in a better mood, I am going say kudos for being so strong for so long. <3 Also, I am glad to see things are working out, even if slowly.
As for the cookies, Tux might want to participate in the baking process. Not sure if it's time to let him in the kitchen, could be too dangerous. Maybe I'll let him fetch the chocolate chips, away from the oven.
