I think you are making the right decision, Teppy.
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I'm also really happy about living in the future, because I just did both of the following things online:
1. Had an e-visit with my doctor's office for a sinus infection (it's a really thorough online questionnaire, with places for free-text responses), so I should have antibiotics by this evening; and
2. Ordered pizza for dinner to pick up after I take the kitten to his first vet appointment. (My favorite pizza place offers a gluten-free crust, but only at certain locations, so I can't get it delivered. However, one of the locations is 2 minutes from the vet, so any vet appointment is an opportunity to get gluten-free pizza for carryout AW YEAH.)
Didn't have to talk to a single human being. Boom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Steph, yes. I am so proud of you for making a well-thought out decision based on your mental health. I know it's all very sad and sober, but I'm bouncing just a tiny bit on the inside because I feel like this is important progress for you and critical self-care.
ION, just had a tornado warning. Helper and I sat under the stairs until the all-clear. Half a tree already fell in the back yard, looks like it was rotten or had insects at the bottom The other half looks like if it goes, it will hit the neighbor's garage.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, smonster! Be careful.

All the NOLA weather needs to start acting right. That's scary!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph, many props for taking care of yourself!
Everybody in the path of the storm, take care and be safe!
Is there any place left that's safe and also cool? I'm moving there if there is.

I left a note for the neighbor. There was no one home.
It's really not that bad, just heavy rain and steady wind.

Okay, I just ordered flowers for the funeral, also online. If I didn't have to take the kitten to the vet, I wouldn't have to talk to a human other than Tim today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, smonster! Stay safe.
Steph, that is 100% the right call. And you are 100% correct that most normal people will not give it another thought. Maybe you catch some grief from your dad, but you can handle that.
