Cass, I'm so sorry for all you're going through. It sucks, it really does.
One of the Useful Concepts I got from my divorce book was the idea of Negative Intimacy (and also, more applicable in my case, Neutral Intimacy). That deep knowledge of somebody can get flipped pretty quickly during a separation - crazy mirror world where the love becomes contempt and the trust is pain.
Yeah, I know what you're saying. If I may be permitted a small piece of relief, it's that Bec and I managed to avoid this.
I'm back in Melbourne, got back tonight. I haven't found a place to stay, being otherwise occupied over the last fortnight. (We did put in one offer, but it was knocked back.) Nonetheless, I need to move on Tuesday, as the owner of this flat is returning. I won't be out on the street, at worst I'll move in with my brother, but I just wish I could get everything else off my back and focus on things like learning the new job and dealing with my emotions.
B-T, so hard to deal with this uncertainty on top of the losses you have gone through. I hope a great place falls into your lap very soon--a place you can make feel like home to you.
What Robin said, BT.
What are we doing up, Robin?
I am still kind of on East Coast time after my visit home. You, on the other hand have no excuse, Missy.
Can I pull a Milli Vanilla, and blame it on the rain?
Tom is making pumpkin pancakes.
I am here to request unspecified job~ma for a friend, who really needs to get this job he's up for, to save his health, sanity, and um, health. So, I figured that this would be the place to request job~ma. 'Tis powerful stuff.
~ma, ~ma, ~ma, ~ma for D.
And, YAY, Polter-Cow is back! I did not change my tag the entire time you were gone because I missed you so much.
Hey, does anyone want to see cute pics of my niece and nephew from when were there for Thanksgiving? They aren't captioned or anythign fancy, but, still, cute.

This page has some pictures from our last day on our honeymoon in Vermont, some family celebration pictures, and a few pics of the kids.

Hmm.
It snowed. Not a lot of snow, maybe an inch or two, but I haven't driven in any amount of snow since I lived in Philly. Which is notably flatter than Seattle. And I need to decide in the next ten minutes or so whether I want to try to make it to church or not.
Cute kids, Nora, with such a pretty aunt! And this just looks so ridiculously idyllic and sunwashed and autumnal. You have totally the best honeymoon pictures ever.
Nora--YOUR TENT! The one of Tom with your nephew slays me. Also, I miss the teeniness of a newborn sleeping on my chest. Very cute pics.
The cold, crappy, rainy bitter gray continues here. I'm going to have to make a quick run to Cinci and borrow Ray from Teppy.
