I'm feeling better than I was before I went to the hospital, and maybe even better than I have in at least a year.
That is excellent news to wake up to.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

I hope Chloe passes the knife bits safely and soon.
Glad you're feeling better, Andi.
Have I mentioned my good news here? It looks like I'll probably be going to the south of France for a week this coming fall. I've never been to France before, and the place we're going looks absolutely lovely! [link] A bunch of us have been discussing it since around Christmas, and yesterday one of us reserved the rooms, so it looks like it'll actually happen.

I am watching G today. He is officially at that stage where he asks why every 5 seconds.

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.

sj, yeah... I got nuthin. But Why-time has to be better than when everything is No!

Yeah, he is actually being very agreeable. I think I just need more caffiene.

I was going to suggest plenty of tea for maximum serenity and coping.

This is actually the only time I drink coffee. I'm up and out so early I use the drive thru on the way here.

WindSparrow, it really is wonderful to hear that you're doing better. Please let us know how we can support you.
Steph, I believe bonny recommends feeding the dog canned pumpkin or sweet potato to help cushion the foreign object, as soon as possible after consumption. Much passing-safely~ma to Chloe.
I broke up with KBD over email, and regret it not one whit. I generally prefer f2f, though.

Okay, I'm listening to a new Pandora station that I just created, and it started with a Being Human ad, which, okay, fine, but now the whole background is Being Human wallpaper. I mean, it's in another window, so whatever, but weird.

I find it really creepy when that kind of thing happens. I end up complaining to Daniel, but he rarely seems worried about it.

For that person, in that circumstance, it was what you had to do. I remember it not being an easy decision for you, it was not a matter of not caring enough to face KBD.

Thanks. The love and support I get here already make things better. I'm going to say something by way of being honest rather than trying to pretend that everything is now rainbows and puppies for me. I had a bad time last night driving home from work. It was a 20 minute drive (most of the places I work, it's only 5-10 minutes, and there is traffic to pay attention to), lots of time to think, road noise too much from driving 55mph to hear the radio. Plus I had a lot of anxiety about this morning's follow-up appointment with my primary care nurse practitioner. I had a hard time stopping the ugly, angry thoughts. It was the worst since before I went into the hospital. I have plenty of cognitive behavioral skills, but the only weapon in my arsenal that is effective against this shit is thought stopping. And last night, those thoughts just kept coming back, like a T-1000 reforming after a shotgun blast. I ended up blasting the radio to an uncomfortably loud volume, and biting my lips. So, yeah, I'm taking suggestions, so I can be mentally prepared for next time I'm stuck like that.
