TCG just talked to his dad. His step-grandmother is doing well and expected to be released from the hospital within the next couple of days.

Is there any nice way of saying, ''Stop asking me when the wedding is or I'm going to have to hurt you''? I'm having a bout of anxiety and depression the last couple of weeks and I'm ready to cut the next person that asks me.

Shiny!

There we go

Maybe it is the nice way -- but I would just put out your hand for donations. That's what I do when people ask me when renovation x is going to happen.

or you could say last week.

or say shhhhhh...it is a secret,no one will know until they get an invite.

A thing! Yay, a thing!

sj, just tell them "We'll let everyone know when we do!" Either that, or "You keep asking, I ain't gonna tell ya!"

sj, perhaps you could tell them, "Our ceremony won't be complete with out a human sacrifice, and it's so hard to get volunteers these days." Then smile and ask what they're doing in six weeks or so.

I have told them that we'll let them know when we figure out what we're going to do, but now I'm getting weekly e-mails. And of course no one is bugging TCG, so he doesn't understand why I'm getting so upset. I'm this close to saying that we are no longer going to have a little party after the elopement because it's becoming too much of a problem.

Shiny!

Calli, I wish I could pull that off.

OK, I know the Bitches are down with the meds and the talky meat therapy:

So, if you feel like you are falling apart and suspect you may need both medication AND talky meat therapy, who do you call first? I don't want to call up a talky meat person who can't prescribe drugs if they decide I need them, but do they usually have a relationship with someone who can? Would they be someone on my insurance if the talky person was also on my insurance? Or do I call a psych person first? Or just go to my GP and start crying? That seems a tad melodramatic, but OTOH melodramatic is how I'm feeling these days...
