Oh, Andi, you are so valued here. I wish your bio-family saw in you what we see in you. Sending you lots of love and support through the intertubes, which you very, very much deserve.
And protecting your precious self however you need to is the most important thing you can do.
This!
Blood ~ma to Zen, house ~ma to Scrappy, and wishing your mom all the best surgery ~ma, Steph. And a cluestick to your relatives.
Sending out the ~ma for your mom, Steph. And some for your anxiety levels.
Thinking of your mom today, Steph. Hope everything goes smoothly.
She went back to the OR about 2 hours ago, and we probably won't hear anything for at least another 3 hours. So now I'm wondering if I can go take a nap in my car.
Hospitals ought too have nap facilities for situations like that. You have to get to the hospital at 6AM, you probably didn't sleep well the night before, you're stressed, and now you have nothing to do but sit in the OR and wait.
Fingers crossed that all goes well, Steph.
Andi, there's a difference between being oversensitive and just being sensitive. The latter is what lets you be aware of your charges' needs and do what's best for their wellbeing, what lets you look out for your co-workers and try to help them be better, what lets you brighten up the day of all the people who interact with you. Being a caring person may open you up to feeling hurt when others are rude or inconsiderate, but it is by far more a strength than a weakness.
{{{WindSparrow}}} We are always in your corner.
Heart~ma, Tep, and rest!ma for you. Nap facilities does sound like a good idea.
I am weirdly excited to learn that I can pay for my train ticket with points. I don't know how I earned these points, but I will be happy to use them!
"he's missing out, I'm eminently likeable."
Indeed!!
Hope that the surgery is well concluded and that your mom is resting comfortably. Sending recovery~ma.
So far, surgery is still ongoing, which we expected. Hopefully we'll get word between noon and 1.
SO BORED OH MY GOD
Lots of operation ~ma. Wish I could teleport you an interesting book or something.
