Oh Hil. I hope sleep helps you and you feel better tomorrow.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
gotta say, I am seriously impressed by how polite and pleasant that email was. Pretty sure i'd be too busy trying to clean my own brains off the wall after the rage-splosion to type proper English.
Hil, can you do an hour or 2 of your TENS unit before sleep? Mine helps like whoa and lasts for sometimes as much as a couple hours afterwards...it won't last all night but might buy you a little shut eye.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Sorry about the pain, Hil. Hope that sleep will get it all better.
Steph, wow. I can't even.
Also, Aims, I'm sorry. It's a tough thing to understand and to go through, even when you have all of the right reasons (which you do).
won't address or talk about SHIT unless you hunt her down and make her. I'm tired of making her.
It does sound very tiring (not to mention consuming and soul sucking) to have someone in your life that will throw shit in your direction without provocation but wouldn't like to be held accountable.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I managed a few hours of sleep. Still hurting, but not as badly as I was last night.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay. I'm going to call the B&B in a little bit (I figured that if they had guests last night, they would be serving breakfast until at least 10:00, and if I want the owner to be attentive to my needs, I don't want to interrupt her taking care of other paying guests' needs).
I need some good vibes that I keep my damn calm and don't lose my shit at her. AND that there's a simple explanation/solution.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Teppy, that is messed up. Tons of ~ma for the phone call, and I hope you get some satisfactory answer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Good luck, Steph. You've every right to be pissed off at them about this. I hope they set things right.

In lighter news, I took Ryan to Healesville Sanctuary on Sunday. (He was going to church with Biyi, but she was down with a cold.) This is one of the three zoos in and around Melbourne, and this one is devoted to Australian animals. We had a great morning there, and I got attacked by a stroppy pelican. (My guess is that it's nesting season.) I don't think it was a serious shot, because I didn't move and it didn't connect. It still scared Ryan though. He handled it well, didn't panic or freak.
We also got to feed carrots and corn to a lazy kangaroo, saw a moorhen building a nest, got to watch an active echidna, and even one of the koalas was awake. Oh, and Ryan patted a goanna too. Good day.
I told my boss about the pelican. The conversation was heading off in a strange direction until I realised he was thinking of a penguin. (Specifically a fairy penguin, or as I still occasionally depict them, the Cincinnati penguin.)
