And, Barb, I know you are hurting and wish your friend hadn't gotten all defensive with you today of all days. I am sorry if I gave any other impression.
Waht I was saying is that, for me, not sharing my darker feelings or constantly qualifying them (because I grew up in a house where one Did Not Complain) served to push the people I needed away, rather than bring them closer. Learning not to do that was hard and I still fail at it a lot, but it did make me feel like a wall between me and other people went away.
I agree. It sounds like a bad intersection of unconscious button-pushing.
That's what it sounds like to me. And Barb, you are not a drama queen. Not at all, sweetheart.
Maybe a little, because I think most writers are, but I don't think you are overdramatizing your current sitch.

Tom Lenk (Andrew) comes out.
Apparently I missed the memo on his ever having been in.
I was so cold on my way home, my teeth were chattering like CRAZY. So I was unsurprised to hear about the chance of snow here as well.... And it was 40 degrees, so maybe that is time to pull out the warmer coat. And/or wear a sweater. Either one probably would have done.
BRRRR!
Now I have an apple crisp in the oven, so that should help.
National Geographic special on the Mars Rovers, this Sunday.

I'm not in this! But it'll still be cool.
I wish there were a sleeping pill as effective for people as shoving the kitten into my fleece is for him: [link]
You should send some of that to Cute Overload for Cats in Racks.
