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

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

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.

This week owes a lot of people an apology and some chocolate.

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

Extra points if flip flops.
Why do I keep thinking there are magic quesadillas out there that won't make me barfy??? I can't remember the last time I finished an order, but I like starting an order, and they sound PERFECT. Carnitas quesadillas...

Aw, Scrappy. I hope J can accept kitty's sickness soon.
Happy Birthday Erika!
I've been off in the wilds of Toronto, visiting megan. I bought fancy bras (but not the $200 bra that fit like a dream,) new shoes, and managed to catch a cold.
Today was my first day back at work and I should have stayed home, but I had two couldn't miss meetings. They are also working in my office space and at the end of the day they used some kind of solvent that was overwhelming for my congesting little lungs and I had to leave early. So looking forward to sleep.

Sophia, did you find a buddy, because I am up at that hour and can call.
