Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh Kat, I hear you. It feels like not enough, but hugs and empathy and just being there for him is a lot.
I want to tell him that it will suck, it will suck so hard, and it will be beautiful sometimes and you will survive it all, even when it feels like you can't.
Maybe eventually you can tell him all of that. It can be hard to see the road ahead of someone else.
I had to google. Oof. All you can do is be an active listener, waiting for cues. It's given me things to do, though mostly just more listening.
It can be hard to see the road ahead of someone else.
Yes. This. I mean, what I've come to is that things are hard but I look at other kids with SN and think, NO WAY. I'm glad I have the kid with a trache instead of a kid with autism.
Also, I'm tired of the snot I'm generating. It's just mostly irritation from particulates andf fuck youautocorrect, it did that, I'm going to bed.
I'm pretty hateful right now.

When I join a 9AM meeting at 8:58, why am I the only one here? Augh.
Oh hai. 10am meeting, we're getting peoples' VM.
My boss's now-former EA (who got a different job here and is my new office-mate) is giving the new EA some training, and it is very helpful to me as well! So that's nice.
I am CRABBY about my job because of reasons, but maybe the new Big Boss will help.
I had a dream last night I was working for Hillary Clinton (?) and had dinner with her and Justin Trudeau. And I was trying to amuse him with Canadian jokes (which, awake, I cannot remember). And then I was arguing with people about the size/placement of address signage on buildings. And then I was awoken by the repeated sound of a plane, flying low over my neighborhood, back and forth. Loud and creepy. Had to go check we hadn't been attacked or something (I wasn't sure it was actually the SAME plane whizzing back and forth?). But apparently it was the gypsy moth eradication efforts. Which were supposed to happen tomorrow. Unless today is Thursday. Can today be Thursday?
I'm okay with today being Thursday.
