Laura has now ear-wormed me with The Jungle.
Totally worth telling the tale then. It isn't actually something I would recognize, but it is what DH listens to.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I haven't even talked about it with Tim, because who wants to say, hey, yeah, check out how much I am sucking at every part of my life including being a good wife; aren't you thrilled you married me?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't know. I'm objectively sucking right now and don't know how to pull out of it. And if I talk about it, with Tim or anyone, it has to start with a discussion about how much I'm sucking and the ways in which I'm sucking, and I don't want to have that conversation because it's shameful. So a lot of it is my stupid pride, I get that. And it's not helping me, I also get that.
It doesn't help that a friend told me, unsolicited (I'm paraphrasing here), "Yup, this is basically what your life is going to be from now on." She's not a psychic or a life coach so her "advice" (such as it is) is suspect. But it really didn't help.

I love dreams. They are so straightforward sometimes.

Other peoples issues are distracting. Isn't that why people watch soap operas? I figure if I get a flat tire or something, I'm going to go on a killing spree and laugh my head off at my arraignment.

I get that thing where I have loads of shame around how much I suck too. I don't have any good advice for how to unload that shame. But I do know that it's best not to wallow in it, and to try and counter it with feelings of love and gratitude.
