I say bye to the cats when I leave and promise I'll be back soon. If I'm going on a trip, I say bye to the house too and tell it to be safe while I'm gone. When I lived with humans, I'd seek one out and let them know I was leaving, but I've always lived with family or friends. If it were a roommate I wasn't emotionally invested in, I might not. It's the difference between shared lives and living separate lives in the same space, I think.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yes, Steph, it is. Thanks!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH goes to each of the dogs as he's going to bed and murmurs to them "You were a good boy today. Thank you for taking care of things. Sleep well." Just KILLS me.

Aw, Scrappy, that's the sweetest thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the most alien thing anyone has mentioned on the topic so far. People, I swear.
Got free lunch today. At the restaurant I go to about once a week I mentioned that the one dish wasn't up to par, so they comped me. Which is extra nice, because that's my indulgence lunch of the week.

Profile addy is good.
I read what Teppy wrote regarding motivation and glasses and ADHD to CJ and he was all YES! Followed by "Mom, you take anti-depressants, right? If I took those away and told you to just not be depressed, could you do it".
Told ya, he is a smart kid...just gotta figure out better ways to interface with school.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
So annoyed at volunteers this afternoon. The vol broker thought they'd be here at noon, I was told 12:30, vol contact told everyone 1pm. Then less people showed than promised, and vol contact had the fall to suggest that I arrange projects on the future that they could actually finish. I'm sorry, but I'd planned for 14 volunteers and three hours, not 10 volunteers and 2 hours of work. Yes, more work got done than I would have been able to do on my own, but I t would have been nice to know I had time to eat lunch, rather than standing around waiting for people to trickle in like it was no big deal ( like the two that showed up at 2 and acted surprised that I stuck them with shittiest job by themselves).

Suzi, is he looking for how you can be ongoing as part of his "glasses", or will it be a more handsoff setup?
I tragically erred and read some of Jezebel and some of its side blogs, and now I hate everyone and am sure they hate me. Because privilege is rampantly unchecked.

He hasn't told me to back off, so until we discover what works best for him, we will be working through this together. I wish I hadn't been lax for so long on this.
