It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Steph, hope you and your family are still holding steady.

I've been texting with my brother all day, and I think he's doing okay. He said he did some yoga and he's so out of shape that he thinks he pulled a muscle in downward dog. (No judgment here; I did actually pull a shoulder muscle in Warrior 1 once.)

I'm so freaking tired, though. Oh my lord. I kind of want to go to bed and sleep until June.

Weirdass day. Had an unexpected cat-forced nap in which I dreamed I woke up, but not fully, then passed out and dreamed in the dream and then woke abruptly for real from that. Left me unsettled and then a rough swim in a hot pool (Uhg.) went to the hardware store and ran into tons of people I know, which was hilarious,but my brain's still off kilter.

Uhg, meara. Not fun.

sara, you've been dealing with so much that no wonder your brain is doing trippy-nap things.

I'm borderline sick, but I had to take N to soccer tryouts and then hockey equipment pick up. I walked 4 miles while N did tryouts but I feel slow and blargh because of the sick.

My packing and fighting with family nightmares are a regular feature of late. I've gotten used to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You all could use a break.

meara, here's hoping it's easy to fix.

WTF is wrong with this cat?

Asshole.

Sigh. Should've had triple a, the tow was $175 :(

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh meara, that sucks! It seems like everything related to cars is a rip-off

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hugs for all who want/need them.

The universe has done a nice job of reassuring me that there are people in the meat world who like me. Yesterday friend/landlord called up with news that benefited me and we had a nice little chat, and tonight my SIL took me out for a birthday dinner and we talked for two hours. So that satisfies my introvert soul and reassures me that I probably won't die all alone.
