Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Congratulations, Sheryl and DH! And to the lucky little guy, too!

I seem to be on a streak of screwing things up today, and I think watching a movie last night was a mistake. Makes me just want to go back to bed.

Spending time with your kid was not a mistake. Your life can't be Constant Vigilance.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Congratulations, Sheryl!

there ought to be a shut-off switch.

There was for me. It involved chemo, so I wouldn't recommend it, but it was nice to have things just stop.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

(Except when I'd see a big thick one for like breast cancer, and I'd go through and approve everything no matter what the guidelines said.)

That made me fist pump.

Spending time with your kid was not a mistake. Your life can't be Constant Vigilance.

Listen to shrift, Gud.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Congrats, Sheryl, Gary, and family!!

Gud, if you aren't already doing so, please seek therapy. I am a master at beating myself over the head completely out of proportion to the underlying cause (and often, when there is no valid underlying cause). But you're making me look like a novice. So please seek help. I'm sure there are hotlines in your area that can link you up with a therapist.

There is. It's called menopause. Can't turn it back on, but it does turn off.
