On Neko I am missing the last 7 cats. I know they need the right toy to come visit. Do they need the right food as well? Does it matter if the toys are inside or outside? I do have momentos from 24 of them. I know there are wiki pages out there but I don't want to be completely spoiled.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Thrive to spite them
Zen, I know it can sound that way. I don't think it's meant to be dismissive. Okay some people it is, but like with my current and previous therapists it was more -- here's another tool in your toolbox to help you. Not "do this cuz it's all in your mind".
not that I've followed through with the yoga but I am doing better wtih breathing exercises.
It was hard for me to see that it could be helpful but it was.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't know. It just feels like telling a distraught person that she ought to try yoga is just another way of dismissing the problem as being all in your head.
Like askye said, I'm guessing the mindfulness session is meant to be an additional thing, not a replacement for meds/therapy.

Some of them do seem to need a specific food, but I only figured that out from googling. So if you're avoiding spoilers, you may be in a pickle here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, I know it's an additional tool, not a replacement. Other appointments are already scheduled. It just feels like a pointless waste of time, and I'm trying not to let that feeling overwhelm any good I might get out of it.

Funny that was the next comment that posted, Neko was the name of the cat who used to sit zen on me.
I definitely get more cats and finickier cats with the more 'spensive food, but the most expensive food isn't worth the extra unless you're going for Jeeves and Sapphire who supposedly won't eat anything else.

Yeah, that feeling is your depression lying. And I don't mean that to be condescending, because it kind of sounds like a brush-off of your feelings. It's not. I recognize that feeling -- that anything theoretically useful is a waste of time -- because I have been there with my own depression.

Well, you can go, and if you're right, then you can move it from "feels like" to "have proof it is".

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What Steph and Connie said.
You guys! Tomorrow is my first day at my new job! I'm excited and nervous and should be asleep but I drank too much coffee today. I really think B is going to be a much better boss for me, and if P (former boss' former business partner) tries to start shit I or B will shut him down. I'm going to be polite and professional and on my guard for petty bullshit.

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.
smonster, may the new job be good for you, body and spirit.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
sj, I don't think it's unreasonable for you to expect that. But I fear that is the kind of error I could make.
Thanks, WS. I was honestly more aggravated at how he didn't think it was a big deal than I was about the late dinner.
Zen, I really hope you find something that helps.
Smonster, best of luck! I hope the new job is everything you need it to be.
