My office is full of technology gremlins today. I suspect they're all named Tino.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I just raged in an email to mac's therapist.
I'd rage to my mom, but well, what can she do? and honestly I end up being the one offering reassurance and having to be the rational calming voice whenever I call them about mac.

msbelle, you can call and rage to me if that would make you feel better.

msbelle, can you rage to YOUR therapist? (I hope you have one, I think you do, right?)

Random, yo gabba gabba just had someone playing the theramin. That's how you know it's a geek hipster show. Ugh.

DJ Lance freaks me out. He needs to blink!

no flea, I don't. I see mac's every week. I can't manage another expense or another appointment during my workday. As it is, since June, I went form a 2 hour lunch every other Thursday to one every Thursday. Then there is never staying late. Not being able to be here on time for the Tuesday 8:30 meetings all summer because the summer program is an 8am start.
And honestly - venting here and elsewhere on the internet is about as good as it gets - I do not think a therapist would help. I've been in therapy that was helpful, but having someone else validate that this is hard is not worth the time or money for me. I may get more sitter help is what I might do, BUT, and there is always a but - when mac is high anxiety like he is now - he needs MORE of my time and MORE assurance that he will not lose me and MORE devoted attention. I need a live-in who does not want sex or money, or a sponsor so I can drop down to part-time work yet still have insurance.

I am so tired of car problems.
Car problems are never fun and often expensive. I don't like them either.
I got lucky recently, the blower motor on my Honda was squeaking like mad and I kept putting off replacing it because it's really uncomfortable on my back to do it. It stopped squeaking recently. Procrastination pays off!

Here is a good place to vent. I've used it myself. I'm sorry you are having to go through so much. It makes our parenting issues seem very insignificant.

I'm sorry you and mac are having a rough time, msbelle. Thinking of you both.
