Thanks, Perkins. I don't even know if I can talk or not. I mean, I was smashing a vacuum against the floor and then crying in the shower. I don't think it is my best day ever.
I was accomplishy today.This is good.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Hi, Deena! Been wondering about you.
Cass, the vacuum was insolent to you. It had it coming. I wouldn't blame you if you went back to it and ripped its guts out, and screamed epithets questioning the morals of its parents.

I can't even.

Nope, doesn't sound like it. You made it through though, and here you are where you can get some support if you need it from folks who care about you and think you are terrific. Hang in there.
This is good.
Thanks. Yes, it is. I do feel like I'm a little undercoping, but I am getting some things done, and not too far behind. I just have to plug away, a couple of pieces at a time, and I'll be alright.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Woohoo! I just got my shipping notification for my first Black Alchemy purchase.

Yes, it is. I do feel like I'm a little undercoping, but I am getting some things done, and not too far behind. I just have to plug away, a couple of pieces at a time, and I'll be alright.
Another excellent lesson in adult life skills. When you're buried, just keep chipping away instead of throwing up your hands in despair. It gets manageable.

the vacuum was insolent to you. It had it coming. I wouldn't blame you if you went back to it and ripped its guts out, and screamed epithets questioning the morals of its parents.Oh thank you, Andi. Bless you. That was the first time I have smiled tonight. Laughed even. It is sort of already gutted though I tried to jam most of the parts back.
It's a really old house (1928) and on a tiny hill. There is a wood floor under the carpet too, which is "floating" in the front of the house - if that is the right term. Smashing a bagless vacuum on the living room floor is really really loud. Also shook a few unbreakables off of the bookcases.
I do feel like I'm a little undercopingWhat's this like? Would you like a vacuum?
I am much calmer now. I made some pasta for dinner so I have eaten. I am already going in late to work tomorrow because we are electing a mayor. Again. So I can sleep in an hour if I need to.
There might also have been an epiphany whilst sobbing in the shower which made it all make a little more sense. Not that assault on a vacuum is sense-making but I could see how I got there.

If it kept you from searching for a concrete wall to beat your head against, it was a great coping mechanism.

My regards to Emmett and my thanks. I always enjoy hearing about his achievements on the diamond.
Would you like a vacuum?
Sure. It doesn't sound like I could do it much more harm.
Not that assault on a vacuum is sense-making but I could see how I got there.
This is a good thing. Not the assault per se, but the figuring.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Cass, the vacuum didn't feel a thing. After years of sucking up evil little dustbunnies and multitudes of cat hair, it lost the ability to relate properly to humanity. You did it a service by putting it out of its misery.
Much punctuation to you, my dear.
And, though it be a tad bit late, happiest of birthdays to the bug that could, and DID. I hope you enjoyed your day, vw!

Yeah, the vacuum against the floor was better than my head against a big block of concrete. Once I realized that there were things in jeopardy beyond my floor which was getting whomped, I stopped.
This is a good thing. Not the assault per se, but the figuring.Yes, this helped a lot. It helped break the cycle where I was hysterically crying because of a dumb broken vacuum, freaking out more because a stupid vacuum was making me cry, lather, rinse and eventually stop repeating.
and multitudes of cat hairI am totally blaming the cats. I mean I am still petting them, but I am silently feeling that it is their fault.
