I've been thinking about you, but then there was that other stuff.

I certainly understand how thinking about the future can be terrifying. I find thinking about mine terrifying.

Because books.

I certainly understand how thinking about the future can be terrifying.

For me, it's the first time thinking about doing it on my own. And if that's something I actually might want. Terrifying is an understatement.

We can be terrified together?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Amy, forgive me for asking, but -- are things not good with Stephen?

t edit I'm sorry to be intrusive. I wasn't asking out of bystander curiosity, but because I care about you and want to support you the best way possible.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hope you can figure something out, Amy. The future is always unknown and scary, but sometimes it is even moreso. I'm glad you have a good place to be for now.

Ha ha, yeah. Even Dana calls me shrift. (If anyone can't make the connection, the most recent picture I posted was of beer.) I answer to both, although when I'm with fannish people, I answer more readily to shrift.

I will always remember your legal name, because it weirds me out. It sounds like a character name.

Off topic. I am trying to decide whether to keep doing karate.

Pros: exercise, scheduled, like the teacher, self defense

Cons: kinda far away, no class for beginners, money.

I have already decide the budget needs a once over, so I am going through it. Already cancelled on thing which was a monthly charge. The dunkin budget is what I must cut next. Must start back with coffee at work. That will no joke cover the cost of karate.

Because books.

Steph, things are ... the same. Which I'm beginning to wonder about. I don't know. My head is not a pretty place right now. I love him, but I guess I'm not sure if he's the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. Which, after 26 years of marriage, seems both ridiculous and scary. It's complicated.

I'm not angry at him, but I am feeling like this is a chance to break out of some old, bad habits, I guess.

Best of luck, Amy. Sounds like a hard situation all around.

msbelle, are there other closer classes you could take?
