HA! I *knew* you would!
I know, I know - my sunny optimism is so predictable.
I do recognize that mindset, though, and I think it tends to sustain and validate itself. Which leads to spiraling. Next thing you know, you're saying things like....
you can't keep it all bottled up inside. That leads to rage blackouts, heart attacks, and tumors. When stressful shit happens, and you need to talk about it, then by all means, talk about it.
Crazy talk! She still believes in Freud's Talking Cure! Dude, didn't the insurance companies explain to you how all we need are pills now?
I don't consider that to be "complaining," at least not in a whiny, refuses-to-take-good-advice way.
It is complaining! That's what happens when you voice your complaints. Just because people don't want to
think
of themselves as complainers doesn't mean we drain the word of its meaning, stuff it and mount it on the shelf.
I'm with Cindy, Sean. That's a really high fever for an adult.
Poor Sean and S! Listen to Mom!Cindy. She is very wise.
I do recognize that mindset, though, and I think it tends to sustain and validate itself. Which leads to spiraling.
No joke, the mental spiraling practically manifests physically sometimes. Crazy!
Speaking of spiraling, have I mentioned how much I love my bellydancing class? And that I've signed up for another 10 weeks? I was bellydancing to ELO at home, much to Tom's amusement and interest.
Oh, Sean. I'm glad you're better, but I'm echoing the advice about getting S's temp down. You two need a break, bigtime.
Tep, where is your tag from? It's cracking me up.
Season 2, episode 7 of Titus. Love love LOVE that show.
Also we need to chat about Tucson, if you are still going though I know things are probably up in the air with S being ill.
Well, I think the plan is still that we are going, provided this fever breaks quickly and nothing else develops. But yes, let's keep in close contact on what the plan is between now and then.
Also, MM, if you're still around, is your current job semi-permanent? Do you know what the story is with that? We *might* need an extra backstage person for the next show at the colony, and Leesa would love to have you back.
If you're at all interested, tech weekend (which is a bitch, two roughly twelve hour days on a weekend, and you'd need to be there) is April 7th and 8th. Final rehearsals and previews would be the 9th through the 13th. Opening night is the 14th and there's one performance on the 15th. And then the show runs through May 13th, I think.
Let me know if you're at all interested.
I want that on video!
Perhaps when I know more moves. And have a better costume. There are many factors.
(in the meantime I shall taunt you with description)
