You know what I wish? I wish that he falls truly and deeply in love this this girl, so that after a modest amount of time sponging off her, he realizes he wants to do better by her. So piece by piece he starts putting the puzzle together.

I know it isn't most likely to happen. But... I hope.

He falls hard. He is that type of guy. He has had few girlfriends and when he does he is totally smitten. Girls have always flocked to him because he stands out with his height and brains but he stays friends with almost all of them. When he gets involved he is head over heels and then crushed if it ends. I don't know where this relationship is at but my hope is similar to yours Andi. I can see him striving to do good for the love of a woman. Who knows. She seems very sweet. I'll be spending time with her today after he gets out of court.

My pedi place has wifi. I may never leave.

And I hope she's as good as she seems.

Giant freakout over the same old shit, so feel free to scroll on by:

Argh. This is Day 3 of a migraine and it's bad. I forsee Urgent Care in my future.

Except the little Greek tailor who has my wedding dress called and has it pinned so I can try it on to approve the length before she cuts it, and if I don't go today, she leaves on vacation and isn't back until September 10.

Also, the weird painful cyst/boil/whatever that I had on my ladyparts is back, and it hurts, and I'm not calling my OB/GYN because clearly the fucking horribly painful procedure she did to me didn't work and I'm not letting her do that again, but holy shit you guys, this HURTS.

Lots left to do for the wedding which is in 3 weeks, Jesus Christ I am overwhelmed.

And job hunting on top of all of this BLOWS.

God, my head hurts so much. I am so overwhelmed and just want to give up on everything and live in a cave.

Sorry. Sorry sorry sorry. I know other people have problems too and I keep whining about mine. Sorry.

No, that does seem like a lot at once, Tep.

I wish I could be there to play chauffeur, Teppy.

You are holding it together pretty damn well, far as I can tell.

Steph, given your severance package, could the job hunt go on pause until the weddding's over (except for anything already in motion) or would that not help your stress level? I'm so sorry you're so stressed. Seriously, is there anything you can outsource to Buffistas? I'd love to participate in your wedding in some small way. I have three day weekends, so I could make calls or research things. Sometimes it can help just to have someone to review your to do list and help prioritize.

Don't apologize, Teppy, that's an awful lot to deal with.

My headache is on its second day and is about to turn my face inside out. I already had the unstoppable monthly two-day headache, three days ago! Two in one month is no fair!
