I haven't put in the ac yet. I should clean the filters on the bedroom unit this weekend.
Also, I really want to tell half my species to fuck off. Not fun or kindly, but you learn from experience.I'm tired.
I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.

I've never had whole-house/apartment AC before, I've always managed with ceiling and floor fans. I have ceiling fans now, and I really don't want to pay for the electricity for AC.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just made a very adult choice and turned the tv off after two episodes of Twin Peaks instead of staying up all night to watch all the available episodes. It's probably good that streaming wasn't a thing 25 years ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Part of my problem is getting home at 6:30-6:45, after closing the store -- which means dishes and more dishes, cleaning, and lots of tiring physical stuff -- and wanting to just collapse. Launching right into making dinner can be tough.
This is why I do a lot of batch cooking -- over a weekend, I can make a bunch of something and then after work all I have to do is heat it up.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Hello, 7AM meeting. My old nemesis.
Steph, I meant to say thanks for letting me know I wasn't necessarily flipping out. But at that point I tried to get to bed early, which failed.

Well, that was a not exactly productive ninety minutes of me crying straight through my therapy session.
I suck at this. It's TOO HARD. I'm stymied.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tom, I totally get it. And -- I'm not sure the right way to say this, but I'll give it a shot -- it was never going to be easy, or even moderately hard. Because what you're dealing with is huge and awful. It was always going to be really hard. (I suck as a motivational speaker.)
I think it's worth it, though. Even though it's hard. But I *am* sorry it's so hard.
I'm not sure you can suck at therapy. If you're showing up, you're not sucking at it.
If it helps at all to hear this, I understand how you feel. I have some idea of how much this sucks. I care about you, and I'm in your corner, for what that's worth.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry it is so hard, Tom. If only I had words that would make a difference.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm sorry it is so hard, Tom. If only I had words that would make a difference.

Ah man, I'm sorry Tom. That sounds awfully rough.
