Thanks, Maria. I'm so weird about it at this point since I'm so new to it.
But also, dude? You can totally make it all about you for a while. We're all good with that. And you're not anyway, but you can.
Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Things never go back to the way they were, but it becomes possible to find joy, and to be able to actually enjoy it.
ND is absolutely right.

Maria, I very much identify with how you feel right now. It's very similar to how I felt (and still feel) about S. The circumstances are very different, but I recognize the emotions on a very personal level. I would try to express myself better, but this is the best I can do from my phone on a bus.
Edited, because I meant to say different, not current.

things that never bothered me (like the dark) are huge right now.
When Hubby's out of the house, I'm suddenly timid about things that don't ping me when he's a couple of rooms away. I try very hard not to think about living alone.

Since when?
Congratulations Juliana! How wonderful. Many happy years for both of you.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congratulations, Juliana! Stealth wedding!

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
Whoa! Congratulations, Juliana! Pictures?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Congrats, Juliana!
And there are songs I'm probably never going to listen to again.
20 years, and I haven't listened to It's So Hard To Say Goodbye (I have difficulty typing the title and keeping my composure) outside of two funerals. I'll leave the room, talk madly, mutter to myself, shoot the radio, whatever it takes to get away from that song.
It's the only song I own on CD that's not on any of my iTunes installs. My completist streak is not masochistic.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm consumed with the sense that I am utterly alone now. I don't have my partner. And I hate it.

There's a whole genre of music I can't listen to anymore. Siouxsie and the Banshees comes on the radio, I still have to turn it off.
