It's a valid concern, msbelle. H has been in NC for two weeks, and I've been out of the house once to put something in the mailbox, and once to corral the yard waste barrels snatched by the wind and corral them before they could take off for the next county. I've had three neighbors drop by, one twice.
I'd geared up for a trip to the PO and a quick stop by the market this morning, first sunny day in a while. Managed to spill my coffee everywhere and wrench my back cleaning the carpet. Today's spoons are utterly spent.
Tomorrow. I may see actual strangers.
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, -t.
So far Mr.S is a pretty good eater. There are times where he doesn't want to eat what he's given, but most times he eats most of it, and sometimes asks for more.
My favorite picky toddler quote is "I'm not eating that. It's got cooking on it."
The kid is 10 now and, I think, eating more like a normal person.
mac would constantly smell things and then refuse.
We are definitely in the picky toddler phase with Jane, except that she's been picky for as long as she's been eating solid foods. I managed to get her to eat a slice and a half of cheese pizza tonight and it felt like an actual triumph. Cheese pizza!
to be clear, not at toddler age, because I did not have him then, but from like 6 - 8. and he still does it occasionally.
I would watch a Murder She Wrote Golden Girls crossover!
Me too. That would be cool.
Anxiety~ma, Zenkitty. I'm sorry you are stuck in this pattern.
Thanks, -t. I'm working to break it but I feel like I don't know what to do instead of distraction/avoidance. I mean, besides go Do The Thing, of course, which is the heart of the whole problem.
Today it occurred to me, in a week this will all be over and done. In a week I'll have had a business conference and a vacation with a friend, and I'll be happy and exhausted and curled up in bed with my cats recovering, and somehow thinking of that made me feel better. Like, I could see beyond the immediate freakout. That was good. Then I went and got a decent meal and on the way remembered to take out the trash, so that was also good.
Business trip can be stressful, Zen. Hell, traveling is stressful.
It's true... but I'm never stressed about the normal things. I'm stressed about dumb little things that don't really matter. Like, I'm not scared of flying, I'm not worried about the conference, I'm worried about
what if I pack The Wrong Clothes?
In weird things my brain decides to tangent on, I'm starting to get a wee fearful of how isolated I may get from the world if I move and live alone again.
msbelle, that happened to me... but I did it deliberately. You're gregarious and outgoing and you like people. You'll soon have a circle of friends. And as -t says, you'll probably move somewhere where you already have friends. And living alone means having a house to go to and shut the door and be alone when you want to be.
This morning Dad had his first fully lucid visiting hour since they put his chest drain tube in last week.
That's good to hear, Matt.
Murder She Wrote Golden Girls crossover
NOT ONE fic on Ao3. Someone needs to request this for Yuletide.
note - there are two connected OC / Murder She Wrote fics and THREE connected Stargate Atlantis / Murder She Wrote fics.
So when Trump snaps, is he going to fire Mueller or Sessions first?
I'm starting to get a wee fearful of how isolated I may get from the world if I move and live alone again.
I can guarantee if you move here you won't be isolated unless you want to be.
