I just don't have any hope that things are going to get better for me on a personal level WRT career and love life, and the overarching shitshow that is our country just puts the cherry on top.
Oh smonster, I surely do know this one too. The only thing I have any success with is attempting to focus as much as possible on the few things I do have control over. Focus on my positive relationships and drop cold the bad ones, focus on the positive business relationships and let go the bad ones.
Also, what David says, so much.
It looks like I might be meeting the online dating guy, not a bookstore date but lunch and chat because he's going to meet me in Hendersonville. We've had to cancel plans a few times so I really hope this works out.
smonster, you're so awesome, and it kills me that you have to go through so much all the goddamn time. Love you. Let me know if you need anything. ANYTHING.
Ugh. I hate that, smonster. All I can say is remember depression lies. But I've been there too :(
Smonster depression does lie. I admire you and your are awesome.
Hugs, hairpats, and general ~ma for everyone here, in whatever form all y'all need.
smonster, I'm sorry you're feeling that way because you are an awesome human.
Juliana, hi!

How goes, lady?
Work is sllloooowwww today. Ugh, I hate it when work is slow.
I am exhausted. Peanut continues to fast-track teething (at not even 15 months, she has almost all of her teeth), and has been insanely difficult to get down for bedtime for the past 3 months. I'm trying to figure out what kind of career to start looking at once we get in her in daycare (arts administration? graphic design? bakery? something else?), and M is dealing with hypertension. Not to mention the general terror of him being a green card holder in this brave new world.
Other than that, we're healthy, we have a good place and good jobs, so things could be much worse. I also just ate my weight in my uncle's biscotti, so my tummy is happy.
I'm exhausted just reading that. I have to get out to SF in the near future to see folks.
My father, who has been in Jordan the past few weeks heads home on Friday. His US Passport should see him home ok, but it is still stressful.
He did send me a package for my birthday, by way of a colleague who just returned to the states a few days ago. I'm meeting him this evening to pickup the gift.
