I would pay folding money for someone to come clean this pit for me.
Yeah, you know that's a thing you can actually do, right?
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think if I had a regular cleaning service, I would do more "cleaning for the cleaners" tidying up stuff and my house would be so much less cluttered.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We have cleaners once a month and the night before is definitely a clean for the cleaners night. I hate it each time, but it does prevent stuff from accumulating.

I just need to have people over semi-regularly, and the place stays OK. But then when I don't for a while, it's Too Much, and I don't invite anyone over anymore. Oops.

Because books.
Tom, don't beat yourself up for surviving something awful. That's an accomplishment, and something to be proud of.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm not beating myself up (at least not in this particular instance), I'm just struggling to grasp what actually happened to me.

You guys, I need to interrupt. Because CINNAMON APPLE PIE CAKE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wish I had more control over my inner fairy tale. I don't know how to see overcoming where I currently see overreacting, I don't know how to swap understandable in place of unreliable.
I mean, that'd be hard enough if I felt *well*, but when I have as little left over as this, that's some pretty considerable heavy lifting.
But, it's consistently clear that it isn't for lack of support and encouragement, especially on your part, and I need to take that more deeply into consideration. So, thank you.

That looks sort of like the apple cake they used to have at Ikea!

FFS. I'm working with my least-favorite colleague on something that was like pulling teeth last quarter, and....apparently will be again. Read the questions and answer them! Why is that so hard??
