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

Hope it works out to be as easy as possible. And the buses co-operate as long as you need them to.

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

I feel like I'm only a somewhat functional adult these days. Like shit gets done, but I'm always way more stressed out than circumstances warrant.

This is me too. I do the stuff that HAS to get done, and that's about it. The bills pay themselves, thank Hermes for autopay, because I would not be able to keep up with paying them. I'm always stressed about what I haven't done, and equally stressed over what I AM doing.

This is a much shorter paragraph than I first wrote. Having read what I wrote down, I think I made the right call, going back to the therapist and the psychiatrist. I am clearly depressed; even I can diagnose this.

To quote Allie Brosh, "...an award for everyone who manages to work and email and take care of kids and not kill their plants." YOU are a Responsibility Champion!

I swear I didn't hit Post on that; it posted itself just as I was about to delete it. So I think I'll leave it there.

I think this also = Responsibility Champion. Taking care of yourself = Job One.

Yes, this.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Connie, next time just bring in the Mountain Dew in a Coca Cola bottle.

That's the stupidest rule I've ever heard of, but I suppose it's worth it to keep the nurses happy with your husband.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Since we're quoting Hyperbole and a Half, I'm about to go to the bank like a motherfucking adult. Booyah. (I am not, however, taking a shower before I go. Working from home is leading to me having the personal hygiene standards of a C.H.U.D. [I do always shower before Tim comes home. Usually RIGHT BEFORE he comes home, but I am by god clean before he walks in the door.])

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Crap, can't keep plants alive. The kids are still alive, so there is that.

Because books.

Yeah, my plants are only hanging in there -- and they're all succulents -- but the kids are okay. So far.

SAME. When I'm sitting at the desk all day editing, sometimes it's just too much of a hassle to shower. But I am not un-depressed, either, so.
