Thank you, Jesse. I think I need a self-worth refill.
Seeing her parents tomorrow is going to break me, I'm afraid.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm still grey, but Allyson, smart and resourceful does not mean doing it all yourself. It's realizing when to delegate so you don't burn out.
As for breaking or not breaking, and putting ourselves back together, I would just like to remind everyone of this:
"When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't crawl, when you can't do that ... you find someone to carry you."
I don't think any of us are tired yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thank you, Jesse. I think I need a self-worth refill.
Let me point out that many friends -- even good friends! -- would not be providing the kind of support to the family that you are doing. And it's because you are smart and resourceful that you are able to do it.

The family would like to start a scholarship fund in her name in Jamaica, where education $$ will go a long way.
Once it's set up, I'll donate myself and help spread the word on this to fandom and to the Women in Tech community.

Thrive to spite them
Allyson you have amazingly pretty hair. And I'd love to make a donation to the scholarship fund. Maria is right and I keep going back to that.

I am not (at this moment) drunk, so take it while you can.

Yes, absolutely. And I would love to donate to the scholarship fund.

lol, msbelle.
I was given half a xanax by someone at work because today is incredibly stressful, and I realized that possibly anxiety is the only thing keeping me going, ever? Because the stress is gone, but now I can't seem to think of a reason to stay awake, at all. Not sleeping is a total waste of time.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I am often fueled by anxiety, raaaaage, and caffeine, and nothing else.

I so get this. Though my anxiety often trumps my rage, but yeah.
(That really belonged in Natter, sorry.)
