I tweaked my neck SLEEPING last night. It really needs to get better. (But I can still swim, just slower because I was afraid of triggering it.)
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Simple acknowledgement that this is a tough time of year for me is very soothing.
That's good. A little simpatico goes a long way.
Jack is better than Jed as dog names go. Way to go, Suzi and K-Bug!

That is awesome.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So I'm guessing she has a crush on you as well? NICE.
Oh yes. She says I'm very handsome, intelligent, funny and kind.
tommyrot, I am grinning all over for her and you both. She's right on all counts, and that makes her AWESOME.
So many vibes to your friend, Theo. That's too much grief for one year, let alone one week. You can stagger through losing a beloved pet if you can turn to your mom and just be a kid seeking comfort again, just for a bit; you have to survive the loss of your mother if you have an unconditionally loving animal utterly dependent on you. It's unbearably cruel to suffer the grief and the loss and the utter absence of solace all at once.
Continuing vibes for Lilly, and love from all Zmayhem.
I barely got to experience Pride due to family obligations, but even riding BART out and back felt like a party; everyone was just buzzing with good feels and smiling and giddy, and every time anyone caught the eye of anyone else wearing more than three colors at once there were smiles and bouncing and what I can only describe as the polar opposite of eyefucking - eye-squeeing, eye-hugging, eye-swouncing. Palpable delight.
And, man, there were so many straight allies being sincerely and glowingly supportive. I have never seen so many straight families all decked out in rainbow garb, dad and mom and flag-waving baby and all.

Yay for makeouts, tommyrot!
Yay for puppy, Suzi!
I was looking for moving checklists earlier and went into a panic spiral when the lists started at "8 weeks out" because I have 4-6 weeks and I don't even know where I'll be living yet. To avoid thinking about that, I logged into work to make my life easier tomorrow morning. Now I think it's time for wine and a movie.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
tommyrot, the woman in question has good taste.

Not sure if it's worthwhile, but you might consider finding a sublet to arrive here. I'd at least check Craigslist because it is summer after all. Or long term stay via Air BNB or something. Easier to look when you're on the ground.

I'll definitely keep it in mind. If I can't find anything while I'm out there, that would be a good option.
I just need to remind myself to breathe. I'm in a good spot with moving prep because I've already done a ton of work getting rid of junk. I'm already working on eating from the pantry and freezer. I am a reasonably functional human being who can do this.
