Oh, Callaluna. I'm so sad for what you've been through and so so happy for your new life of freedom! Lots of Court~ma to you, may it go quickly and easily and entirely in your favor.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sherlock, I mean Raq, lovely to see you again!
Callaluna, I wish you all the best in your new start in life.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Callaluna, I'm sorry for such a long struggle but I'm glad you are finding your way out.

Callaluna, I'm sorry for what you've been through, and I'm glad you have found a way out of it. Luna is absolutely beautiful.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Happy for you, Callaluna. And seconding that your daughter is a beauty.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Hello friends! Life has been ... interesting.
I've been going back to school, working on an economics/business degree to extend the research I did on my masters' thesis several years ago, which was kind of a surprise all around. I got a scholarship, but wasn't expecting to engage as deeply with the subject matter as I did. And I thought I'd finished with my masters' work, only to discover that I've been secretly keeping the flame alive in the back part of my head, waiting for an opportunity to dig into it again. That's been pretty great.
The last two years have been a Period of Diagnoses. To wit:
- Major learning disorder!
- Attention decifit disorder!
- Major sleep disorder!
- Fibromyalgia!
- Sensory processing disorder!
Among dealing with the other health challenges, adding in the time and effort in addressing the above big things has occupied a lot of my word. Especially the first two have led to significant adjustments in my learning environment, and adapting to alternate tools. Oh how I wish this had been available for all my previous academic life.
To top this with cherries, in June I was hospitalized for a ruptured cyst in my abdomen. I was on bedrest for 6-7 weeks, and it took another two months to fully recover. On the bright side my books-read list is in the three hundreds. For evident reasons.
Because I wasn't employed during my year at college, I burned through all my savings in the three months of recovery, and wasn't able to work during that period. I've been teetering much closer to the edge than I would like. Which sucks!
I've got several applications out there now, and three interviews scheduled this week, so I'm positive about the direction things have turned. But as so many of you know, it's a long road back to stability after an event like this.
I'm still in Portland, with my wonderful dog, and even though my world has kind of shrunk, it's okay. I'm grateful that I can keep up with so many of you on FB, and I always love coming back here to the board. ♥

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I was reading along, thinking, Wow, I've never seen that lurker's name before! Hey, they live in Portland, just like __! Hey, they have an awesome dog too! Hey, they've been fighting with diagnoses and school and they should totally meet __, they live in the same city and they have so much in common and they ... oh. Never mind!
Anyhow, ::smishes::!
