and I forgot how harrowing that book is. Maybe it's my favorite? (Not the first book I have thought that about.) But jesus.
Totally. It's pretty much nonstop crises for everyone. This last time I read it I really tried to pay attention to the structure how that fit the description of the Mirror Dance from the wedding scene in
Barrayar,
since that was pretty fresh in my mind. Echoes of what's going on with one character showing up with another all over the place, especially wrt identity, my favorite topic for sci-fi to explore. It's really well crafted.
Anyway, maybe take a break before
Memory.
Recover and build up your strength.
That bit Louie CK has about the best case scenario for dating being kind of terrible pretty much sums it up for me. A whole bunch of nope. But I'm happy to cheer for anyone who is into it!
My BFF wants me to make more of an effort with internet dating, but I felt like I didn't have the spoons even before my mom was in the hospital. Now I feel like I need the perfect guy delivered to my door, or I can't be assed to even try.
Yeah, I've felt that way for 2+ years. I'm not sure why I'm not a character in a Jennifer Crusie book! (If I were, I'm pretty sure the perfect guy would be delivered to my door.)

That sounds like good advice that I will not take. (I don't have an unread book on hand.)
Ah well. At least you are forewarned.
I'm not sure why I'm not a character in a Jennifer Crusie book!
You don't live in central or southern Ohio? ("Faking It" is my favorite Crusie book, but "Graeter's" is misspelled and it hurts my SOUL every time.)
Shit, is what where I went wrong?
Shit, is what where I went wrong?
For the record, I live here, and my life is also not like a Jennifer Crusie book. Except for the Graeter's and inevitable hot sex. And, okay, my family is weird as hell, but we're not grifters or Old Money.
Man, I got up this morning for the 7AM call, then took an impromptu nap. Then I had a doctor's appointment and went to lunch, and now I'm on the couch trying not to drift off again. I have lost my awake for the day.

You say that now!
It's surprising we aren't grifters. We're probably headed that way.
I have lost my awake for the day.
I've been fighting to stay awake all day. On top of whatever else is stealing my awake, I slept like utter crap last night.
