Thanks Jesse. I realize what I need most of all is a day off but that seems unlikely, or at the very least several weeks away.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Because books.
Aw, Burrell, those days suck. Can you take an hour later to close your eyes or even just get a latte or something?

I am drinking an absurdly oversweetened iced coffee right now (got it from the boba place, minus the boba) and it is helping immensely. AND I now have a yoga mat in my office, so a lie down later is not unreasonable.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Burrell, take care of yourself. You won't be able to do shit for others if you're breaking.
Oh, and you didn't *let* your life get this stressed out. So no taking the blame on that one.
Lean on us. We're here for you, in whatever way you need us to be.

One rule of thumb I use when I start blaming myself is "realistically, would I yell at someone else if they did this, or would I understand?"

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

I should have this tattooed on the back of my arm so I'll see it all the time.

I'm having the kind of day where I've already had to use four SHOUT wipes, so I'm stained and bedraggled and viciously chomping on potato chips.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Feeling so bummed today. J just can't see that our poor dying kitty needs to be let go. He keeps saying stuff like "I think he's better--he walked into the other room." The cat really isn't better. We're not arguing, just at an impasse. Then I talk to my mom ,and my brother, the one who lives near her whose wife hates all of us, went to see her for the first time in months. He told her they wouldn't be coming for Thanksgiving and she's totally upset. They have their own Christmas, so it's ALWAYS the only Holiday she gets to see her grandkids. Then lots to deal with at work.
