Owen saying his ABC's.

(This "Good Job!" thing is very American. You're almost as cute as Owen. Almost.)
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
For me, I just feel out of control. There isn't really anything concrete, besides my emotions. It's just frustrating.
It is very frustrating when there is no concrete reason for feeling the way you do. Is it partially anxiety over the work you have missed or that new project? What can you do to help yourself feel a little more in control right now?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
vw, when I get that way I try to focus on the now. I ask myself "Are you safe now? Is anything threatening you now?" And if the answer is no, I try to let that soak in. That I'm okay in the moment. Try to break things down into little bits and deal only with the bits you need to right now. The other stuff is just worrying about the future and when it's unproductive worrying (that is, it's not anything helping you develop rational plans but rather stuff that's making you panic and feel out of control), there's no point to it. Just focus on what's immediately on your plate.
That's what kinda works for me, anyway. I hope you feel better soon.

The sky here is BLUE, and there is no water falling from it.
Substitute Alameda County and yeah. I'm bummed that I'm home sick today. I don't feel quite up to taking a walk outside and enjoying it.

Can you drag a chair outside to sit in the sun for a bit? I'm going to walk downtown to Pegasus and buy calendars in about 15 minutes to enjoy some of that sunshine.

Ooh, you must live locally! I used to do that Pegasus calendar run religiously.
I dunno. I still haven't eaten. Maybe I should go out to a cafe so I don't have to deal with cooking and dishes...nah.
See the thing about dragging the chair outside is that all I'm wearing is a t-shirt right now. I haven't gotten out of bed except for necessaries.

Blue? I don't think it comes in that color around here.

vw, It is not unexpected that today is wildly unpredictable. That's ok. the upthread advice - are you safe now? is the best place to start. can youdo one small thing to make it better?

I will, beth. Or at least gaze out my bedroom window. Opening would be freezing.
