Best of luck, Amy. Sounds like a hard situation all around.
msbelle, are there other closer classes you could take?
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Steph, things are ... the same. Which I'm beginning to wonder about.
That is big and complicated and scary. It does sound like this change may give you some perspective to consider everything.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, Amy, I don't want your problems and any support you might need to get lost in...the other stuff that's going on.

Wherever you are, you know I have your back.
Also, re: SPN thread. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Wishing you all the best, Amy.
msbelle, maybe start with cutting dunkin, and then decide? Unless the distance is a stress factor.

Amy, I am so glad to hear an update from you. I have been thinking of you often, and glad to hear you and Sara and Ben have places to be that keep you in your community for now.

Because books.
Thanks, everyone. It's hard because I feel like I've been blind and stupid and possibly too much of a chicken to make changes that have been necessary for a long time. It's hard to tell right now. And the ... other stuff is pretty devastating, too. Right now it's one day at a time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sounds like you're in a good place to pause and consider, Amy. Good luck with everything.
However, it's an established fact that shrift's birth name is in no way her real name except by accident of birth and legal identity, and that for all actual purposes of selfhood she is shrift.
Facebook auto-completes people's names into the birthday wishes now, and as soon as I clicked on it for shrift, I felt weird!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's the thing about a big crisis, it really is an opportunity to think about what you want, how things ought to be, and how to get there from where you are, even if the things you are thinking about are not directly related to the crisis. Take your time with it.

Oh, and msbelle -- is there a place with a beginners' class and/or one that's closer that you could consider? Each of those seems like a pretty big barrier.
