Strix, hang a sec, just got out of the shower. eta, uh, was there supposed to be a link in your post? Not seeing anything obviously different on your front page.

Pix, what happened? Did I skim over details?

No linke, just profile addy. I'll send it to you real quick.

Hope you get better quickly Pix.

I managed to get an appt with my shrink on Sept 4. I wish it were sooner but I'm not going to keep trying for sooner - it's a week from Tuesday and I see my therapist Tuesday.

Today was rough I went from okay, to depressed/anxious, to okay, to depressed, to forcing myself to the knitting group where I was very scattered and had a hard time not talking over people and just blurting stuff out. And then I came home and had a mini binge of cheetos and tiny donuts.

But the part of work where I wasn't depressed was okay.

Strix, received and backflung. In short, YES.

I am just now cooking dinner.

Hec, where were you when I needed you? I took the clippers to the back of my head before my shower. I just. couldn't. take it. anymore. I'm currently trying to find a friend to come over and look at it and make sure it's not totally fucked. It feels okay when I run my hand over it. I've got a bit of a chunk missing on the left side on top, but I don't think it's too visible.

Hec, where were you when I needed you?

Too far away!

Awww, you need a clipper buddy. If it feels okay under your hand you'll probably be okay.

And let's face it, smonster, your pretty can't be ruined by clippers.

Or anything else, IMNSHO

He emailed me back. He's hedging about making firm plans for a movie. I gave him some slack, and told him my schedule was pretty flexible this month so anytime was fine. I told him next month my schedule would be stiffer, and hopefully by then he'll have decided what he wants to do about the admittedly fraught subject of Seeing Movies With A Girl. I am Zen about the outcome.

Guys! My "new" sister, L, sent me the most awesome Doctor Who TARDIS scarf today! It's her first gift to me! I am crying!

Her birthday is in November. I already picked out a t-shirt from hyperbole and a half.

Awwww...

Awww, you need a clipper buddy.

Well, Nora and Tom have clipped it once (and did a great job), but I just kind of lost it and then couldn't stop.

If it feels okay under your hand you'll probably be okay.

I'm not too stressed about it. I just can't see the back well, even with a mirror.

Thanks for the compliments, y'all.

I am Zen about the outcome.

Fabulous. Because you are aweome, and if he dithers it is his loss.

Speaking of... I think I'm done with Z. The conversation in Natter about mansplaining crystallized a number of things that have been bugging me. He's a mansplainer. And yeah, the sex story was about him (for those not in Natter: Me: Gentle. Gentle. That's not gentle!! Him: I know).

He texted me a little while ago, something very generic about working a long day, and I just reponded "Oooh, that sucks." I haven't decided whether I'm going to try and talk to him about it, or just fade away. But if I talk to him about it, and he starts mansplaining that he's not mansplaining? I am so gone.

askye, I hate those rollercoaster days. Glad you can hold on to the good parts.
