And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I got a refill on my anti-anxiety meds this morning from the new shrink! Trendy!

Y'all, my new shrink is adorable. Tiny woman with glasses and a pert short haircut, wearing the cutest shift dress and kitten heels, can't be older than thirty. Recent PhD, intern working with a resident (it's a teaching hospital). She was professional and objective while still being emotionally engaging. She was easy to talk to. I liked the older male resident too, he was bearded and smart and had a firm handshake. I agreed to go to therapy again, ugh; they want me to do DBT one-on-one which I know some folks here have said is a good thing, so I'll try it. I have little hope though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's excellent, Zen! DBT always sounds like a good idea, I'm glad you have a chance to try it. I am more glad that you like the intern and resident you're working with - I guess you don't have to like a therapist for them to do you good, but I feel like it makes a difficult process easier.

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

Timelies all!

Ugh. The low battery alert on the baby monitor went off at 3:15 am, so I had to get out of bed to plug it into the charger. Then I broke a tooth at breakfast. It doesn't hurt much, and I have an appointment tomorrow morning to have it looked at.

For a Wednesday, it's quite a Monday.

Oh, man, Sheryl, I'm sorry for all that! Somehow your dentist appointment reminded me I need to take the dog to the vet, though, so thanks for that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oof, Sheryl - not a great day!

Go you, Zen! Do the thing!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, man, this episode of GBBO has them making trifles. I am yearning.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Rough start to the day, Sheryl. I hope the tooth is easily repaired.

I'm really over noncity coworkers complaining about walking through " scary" neighborhoods near work (uh, Remington. And, uh, no.) when they then ask questions that clearly indicate they've never for a second ventured off their commute, and they don't know shit about what they're talking about, it is " the city" that is scary and bad. My bitchface shut one up mid sentence.

And I just walked to and from another neighborhood wine night where we rationally discussed some of the crime issues around here and what we're actively doing about it and how much and what we love about being here. And I ate too much guacamole and brownies.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And I ate too much guacamole and brownies.

See? Cities are totes dangerous.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

too much guacamole and brownies.

No. Such. Thing.
