Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We're in the midst of our snowpacalypse. I shouldn't make fun, since Sandy was a real deal thing that caused serious damage. But they keep hyping this storm of the century shit. and, you know what, it's just a really bad snow storm.
Possibly REALLY really bad by the time it's done, but so far just a snow storm.
It KILLS me what short memories New Englanders seem to have about weather.
I'm making my way through updating. I went in the hospital for a 24 hour stay.
They gave me meds, but there was no therapy, which i desperately needed.
They tried to get me to go to a group therapy thing, where they sat in a circle singing "Hey Jude." It was mostly drug addicts.
Kristen came and got me out of there, and even my shitty doctor agreed that it wasn't the right place for me.
I met with an old therapist I liked, she's too booked to take me, and it would be an enormous out-of-pocket expense since she's not with my insurance, but she dug around for a good sliding scale person and I'm going to be making an appointment with her to see how it goes.
Keeping my head busy. Cooking and tidying. Got a pedicure today. Keeping head above water.
I want to thank everyone for the emails and encouragement. I'm not around much, so I was sheepish about coming back for some help. I'm grateful you let me lean for a bit.
Allyson, I'm so glad you posted.

I'm grateful you let me lean for a bit.
Lean as much, and for as long, as you need. We'll do all we can to hold you up.
Allyson,
good to hear from you! Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
Buffistas are the best shoulder there is, for the leaning and stuff.
So glad to hear from you, Allyson. Lean all you want.
Been thinking of you, Allyson. Thanks for checking in. And for coming here when you needed to.
It's so lovely to see you, Allyson. Fingers crossed that the sliding-scale therapist is a good fit for you.
What everyone else said. Buffistas don't keep count,but if we did you have given tons over the years. Plus the people here care about you a lot - so lean any time you feel like it.
