The more conservative people on my friend's list are silent on the Supreme court cases so far, for which I'm extremely grateful. Although, I have to say that many of the very conservative and/or highly religious people on my friends list are also pro-gay marriage because they have someone in their life who is gay.
I did yoga on Monday and Tuesday this week, and the only reason I'm not doing it this morning is because I am waiting for the oil company to show up and service our boiler. I'm sore and exhausted at the moment but trying to remind myself that the benefits will eventually start to outweigh the bad stuff.
Way behind on posts and catching up in a different window, but I wanted to pop in to give Cass my love and condolences. I am so sorry to hear about your father, but glad you got to spend so much quality time with him. {{Cass}}
And of course there are parts that need to be replaced that aren't covered under the service agreement. Also, the whole house smells like oil, and I wish I could flee.
Fingers crossed: I may have an apartment. She is checking references today.
Much luck, sumi. I know having a new place would be a relief!
Sumi, so much apartment ~ma. I've been worried about you. Are you still in your old place?
Yes, packing, and feeling down - which means not packing. It's a sad roller coaster.
Some friends came and took some boxes for me last night.
{{{sumi}}} I'm sorry. Packing is hard enough all on it's own, never mind with added stress.
what sj said. I have been worried about you too. thank you for the update.
Hi, all. I visited my folks and stayed the night last night; home again now.
I didn't change my profile picture yesterday because I'm lazy. But I poste slews of equality stuff all the time, so whatevs. Anyone who knows me knows I am an outspoken ally.
Mental health segue: I'm thinking about going to see a shrink again. I don't want to. I don't want to take medication again. I don't want to do talk therapy again. I don't want to have to. But I'm really depressed and I think maybe I have to.
Zen, I feel you, I truly do. I am working on major stuff right now and it's huge and hard and scary...but I WANT to change. If you ever need anything, feel like you can get ahold of me. Support is so different for people, and my god, is it hard to talk about some stuff...again, and again, and again. But The support I am getting from DH, my fam, my friends, my 'Ffistas...it's invaluable.
Sometimes just knowing you CAN call or email someone and say, "I'm feeling shitty. I don't want to talk about it right now, but I just need to talk to someone about something. Or get out of the house and my own brain."
bonny, I sleep with a flat squishy pillow over my head. I go to sleep that way, with it smashed over my eyes and just my nose and mouth out. I look insane, but sleep masks are uncomfortable and still not dark enough. I need a cool, dark room with airflow.
ION...SO. My darling husband to whom I introduced Supernatural when we started dating -- I would be watching a current ep, and he's be noodling on the net and ask a question or something, and kinda thought it was a cute-boy lame show, got HOOKED seriously. Like, he's watched all the seasons 2 or 3 times now, has had a serious man lust for Dean's leather jacket. (And Sam's snap-button shirts,too.) He was out with my little sister Saturday and casually mentioned this lust to her, and she mentioned that she had a brown leather jacket, a men's large, that she bought at Wilson's leather probably 15 years ago.
DH didn't think a thing of it, but sis dragged it out, and it's all distressed and soft AND LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE DEAN"S JACKET; it's maybe 3 inches shorter. She doesn't wear it anymore, has a leather coat she adores, and she gave it to me to give to DH last night. This is so geeky, but I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR HIM!!! SQUEEEE!
My sis is fab, and I adore her.
