Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Jesse I think that's what a lot of life coaches are. But then, I alsoroll my eyes at a lot of like, 23 year olds who are "life coaches". Because really.

Can I come to your home, lie on your couch, and have a meltdown for 45 minutes?

I want that too. Maybe only 20 minutes? Ugh. Had a date, she canceled, tone is hard on text, we both overreacted and now I'm thinking there will be no more dates which is probably for the best but ugh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I want that too. Maybe only 20 minutes?

On Wednesdays, I have two consecutive sessions. So, yesterday, I had a 90 minute meltdown. I was soft-peddling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah -- a woman I used to work with quit to be a life coach, and maybe she was 27? I don't think she had enough life to coach anyone else!

Seriously, anyone wants to lie on my couch and talk to me, I will charge half what you're paying now!

Because books.

I would love that, to know that someone I knew and liked and trusted was listening, and could give advice. It's so hard to find a therapist I feel like I can talk to.

Herding cats for fun

Bah blah blah yak yak yak digress diversify comment yabber yabber yabber...

I am talking and I can't shut up. This is how I know I exist.

I do not see your pained expression nor how you keep sidling away from me. I know I am fascinating and you enjoy hearing from me even though you are sitting there turning the pages of your book.

..... I've spent some time with people who blow a lot of hot air, can you tell?

Connie, I really think you'd like the south coast of Iceland. Crashing noth Atlantic, the churn of pebbles as waves retreat.

I should be asleep, but i can't stop thinking about our trip & my time with my parents. It was really good. And sobering (hello, mortality!) and I've been sad since I dropped them at the airport. Even an evening swim in the sun at Druid was a short balm. I MISS them. I only once got truly exasperated (after over 24 hrs w/ no break)and even then, I just hid until I was good again. 17 goddamned days, majority with me running the show & I was sorry to see them go. Huh?

Probably mom's last big excursion to unfamiliar.It had some hard parts that I had the..privilege? of wrangling. But I learned how to handle it, for the right then. The loss of short term memory, attendant anxiety, sundowning, etc. associated means MY relationship with her & dad is changing. But I don't want to treat her as lacking autonomy. It's a fine balance. And yes, it's scary. She was the last one we expected any issues from, herself included.We're all catching up.

Our wings are not tired

Enjoy every moment you have with them.

Yesterday I learned what a canister purge valve does in my car. Today I find out how much it costs to replace it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Am I terrible for thinking of Faye Dunaway's character in Network?
